    Thanks Alex! I try.

    Thanks jkat!


    Thanks Chris!
    Definitely happy with the way things are progressing. The box is cool because I can see things that I haven't been able to see unless I turn everything off.
    I guess I just see things and want to make them.


    Thanks OFK!
    Yes the dark side makes you do crazy things and more frags is the plan! Lol

    Thanks everyone! I really appreciate all the inspiring comments.

    I don't understand why everyone calls it the darkside, we are the side that likes the most light, and appreciate stable, healthy tanks way more too :)

    While I do agree with you Chris, the so called "Dark Side" is the IMO the most addictive (and we know anything addicting is bad for you), time consuming, costly, most rewarding and if circumstance go bad, the most devastating. That my friend is my opinion why it's the "Dark Side".

    Oh no no no my friend, this addiction is quite good for you, it makes it so you can't afford the bad things in life :)

    When things go bad you look at the bright side and say, its ok I wanted to get rid of that ______ anyway! LMAO

    Definitely agree with the first.
    Lol
    Another thing. For the people with spouses. Some spouses, with exceptions, hate the hobby. Can't stand it and it consumes us, like the dark side.
    I don't know. Lol. I'm over thinking.

    I want to go home and make more stuff. Lol.

    I forgot to mention, the placement of the frag rack will allow me to acclimate corals to the lighting as well. The height is perfect and all the way to the right gets little light from the halides and all the way to the left gets good lighting. So I can start frags on the left and slowly move them to the right.
    That was my thinking when I placed it there.
    Does this sound like a somewhat good idea?

    The idea makes sense to me:)....good explanation of why it's the "dark side."

    Thanks OFK. I am hoping to get more use out of the rack this weekend. I'm finishing some plugs tomorrow and then will be fragging the green pocillapora. Not any of the main super green branches but the not so great branches below all the healthy ones. I will get them on plugs and hopefully get them healthy.

    So I should be getting my WP40 early next week. It was a Father's Day present. Super excited. Hate the waiting game. Also should be getting a new coral tomorrow. It will be a trade for one of my hammers. Got a few corals from a friend and he has some awesome pieces in his 300g so I should have a good weekend.

    Just picked up 6 frags. Mixture of acros and a birdsnest. Traded a buddy for one of my hammer colonies. Will post pics soon. On my way home with them. Here is one pic so you believe me.
    Will also post an ID thread because I couldn't keep up with him and I had the little munchkin with me.
