Late night thread!!

[bad coffee]

Sooo tired.

Had a glitch with the sound computer during the show and it tensed me up for the rest of the day. Trying to decompress but nothing is working. . .

Almost done with my light box though.

And my tank is looking pretty good!

I've just been sitting home all day. Went out for a little in the morning. Otherwise this has been a day filled with TV.

mine, sitting in the hospital room watching TV - worked on moving some rock and critters over tonight, but nothing big

Water change on the other tank as well.

Any new pics of the tank?

Did you get the scaping done or is it still being worked on?

 

[jhale]

what a luxury you have Jim, being able to take your time and move things into the new tank. no rubbermaid bins everywhere.

speaking of photos Kris, where are the new ones of your tank?

 

[FreshFish]

So this is the infamous late night thread at work huh? or am I to late tonight?

 

[jhale]

welcome to the LNT,
I'm about to pass out.

 

[nanoreefer22]

John if you hang on for 10 mins I'll snap some new shots.

 

[FreshFish]

Well then hope your close to your bed! Not much goes on in here I thought I would find the meaning to life or something coming in here! Anybody have any wild tank ideas in mind? I am very interested in the different and unusual. Anyone else?

 

[nanoreefer22]

What ya mean by wild tank ideas? Like something out of the normal to do with the tank? Like the foam background idea?

 

[nanoreefer22]

I had to end up redoing my rocks to catch the brittle star I wanted out of my tank. Turns out I like the scaping better. More room for corals on the rocks.

Different like custom shapes or locations. I have seen 2 I was impressed with so far. First was a in a buddy of mines house when we were kids. It was set into the side of there basement steps leading to the main floor. Triangle shaped bottom side was like 8' long and it was 6 1/2' tall and went like 2 1/2' back into the steps. All the plumbing neatly tucked away in the space under the stairs. The second was in LA at guys house. He had 3 cube tanks maybe 25-30 gallons each stacked but offset so they kind of twisted around. Wish i had more time to study that one they overflowed into each other.

 

[FreshFish]

Thats a pretty tank you got there. Cant wait to have my own tank to be proud of! What are your favorite corals in your tank? If you could have any coral you dont have what would it be? Where in BK you live? Sorry for all the???? im bored and its late!

 

[nanoreefer22]

Wow..trying to picture what you're describing makes my head hurt. Seems like some good ideas though.

 

[nanoreefer22]

Thanks. It's alright I'm always full of questions too. My favorite coral right now is...hmmm...can I say all of them?? Everything in the tank SPS wise is really new. The oldest piece being about 4-5 months old. One coral I want that I dont have is a Purple monster, a superman Danae, or a rainbow monti. I would give anything for one of those. All very nice looking IMO.

I'm in park slope. Where are you?

 

[FreshFish]

The same guy with the cubes has a little 2 foot wide river that runs throughout the ground floor from the pool and hot tub outside. If I had his cash I would build my own scuba reef in my basement! Just a 30x45x15' Oceanscape! Wonder what my electric bill would be then?

 

[nanoreefer22]

Hmmm..take your current electric bill and times it by like a trillion...that should be just about right.

Im out for the night. Everyone went to bed and left me alone now it's so quiet im falling asleep.

 

[FreshFish]

Im on the lower east side manhattan. What are some slow growing corals do u know? I would probably enjoy them more knowing they wont overgrow my little tank.

 

[nanoreefer22]

Hmm...usually anything thats hard to find is the slow growing stuff. Just buy small pieces and watch them grow. If they get out of hand just take the knife to them and frag em. If you want slow growing stay away from Green star polyps and xenia. Sometimes they just take over. Why not put zoa's in your tank. They have nice coral and tons of varieties. I have like 4 or 5 different types, none of which grow alarmingly fast.

 

[alrha]

you can sell frags of your fast growing stuff to trade for slow growing corals
