Fine... taunt me some more why don’t you 😁 Kidding aside, that is awesome.

Tempting but the newer acros in my tank aren't all in their happy place right now so don't want to risk it.

Looking happy! That is one shaggy acro - serious polyp extension going on.

Seahorse Aquarium Supply - they are on listed on the PNWMAS sponsors page if you are looking for info.

Welcome! Sorry to hear about your leak experience but at least glad it wasn't tank related. Congrats on getting your 90 back up and running. I am actually well acquainted with your fish - I would check on them whenever I was in the shop (which is fairly frequently). That is the largest marine beta I have seen.

I'm watching you Roy

That turned out pretty nice! Seems to be growing and coloring up well now.

No wonder i like it...

Happy b-Day Bill. Hope I get a chance to see your setup in person one of these days. The pics are pretty impressive and I’m sure they still don’t do it justice. Have a great one!

Hard to feel too sorry for you there my friend! You could leave me some shopping money and I could pick up some things for you

C'mon Jeremy - you need to reschedule so you can make this!

BTW - I want whatever that last acro is

Woo whoo! Always a blast and lots of great deals. (looking around to see where I can stuff some more frags)

Maybe Cherany can get you up to speed on the emoticons. Nice healthy looking frag Jorge - GLWS.

Welcome - glad you found your way here and were able to make it out to the fragfest - looks like you may have found some goodies for the new tank while you were there. That is a particularly nice looking powder brown BTW!

I kind of like the industrial vibe of that stand even if it is overkill!

Welcome back! I dropped out shortly after you when having to tare down my 120 due to majanos and just started up about a year ago. Hard to stay away for ever. Definitely some things have changed in that time. LED lighting has come a long way and T-5 are making a comeback. Lots of recent advances in automation (seeing alkalinity monitoring on controllers) and things like algae turf scrubbers for nutrient control. I am sure you will enjoy catching up as you plan your new tank... I know I did. Yep, there are a few of the old shops around and Woody's moved back to their original location and now has the next generation running the show. There are some notable new shops as well - Cuttlefish and Coral started up on Mississippi Ave and now moved to Hillsdale (well worth checking out). OIAB is still over in Vancouver but has undergone some ownership changes. TPA and ATA are not too far away and also well worth a trip. You should check out our sponsors page as many of the local shops are listed on their information. Good luck with your reboot. Hopefully we will see you at a meeting in the near future - next one is Dec 2nd at Kennedy School.

That looks like a great spot for the peninsula! Pretty exciting

I think those are all really good and popular options. Besides, I already have an AIO nano to put up. (slinks away sheepishly)

Invest in a good glass scraper! I have always had a lot of algae growth on the tank walls whenever I have had a tank near that much natural light - either salt or fresh water.

What are you thinking for the new tank?

I am actually - never solved the intermittent flicker problem. Grows chateo like crazy though. Glad you ressurected this thread though as I should order another one to try and couldn’t recall the link. Is yours still running?

Welcome! Glad you found us and hope you find some inspiration along the way. Great community here with lots of helpful and experienced reefers - many with larger systems who likely have there own flood horror stories. If you do decide to take the plunge make sure to start a build thread to share the adventure!

Glad it wasn’t anything too drastic. Looks like you are up and running in the new location - congrats! Sorry I didn’t know or I would have tried to get down there and help out but sounds like you had it covered.

Haha! I just question whether or not it’s wise to provide any additional motivation to Scott in this matter - I don’t feel the need to see any Bieber either 👍
