Damn bro it's always something. Unfortunately that's what happens you change 1 thing and it all goes to crap. I think I'm coming to the island in the afternoon if I do I'll swing by.

lol.....i wish my mom were still paying the bills.....but then it would suck to have to break down the tanks.
good thing we have a "don't ask don't tell" policy in our house.
the wife doesn't ask about my tank expenses and i don't ask about her spa/hair/nail/shoes/bags/clothes/jewelry/lunch expenses......lol.
hmmmmm....she's getting a better deal isn't she.:scratchch:irked:

As you guys know that this summer was a killer for our tanks, and with high electric bills, I decided to try something out, I took down my 4 400w halides and replaced them with 2 250 halides on a light rail. going from 400 at 10" above water line to 2" above water line on the 250 was very close in par, not sure exactly but I could tell from my coral. Well that ran for about a month, and the coral nor did I like it, so now back to having 4 halides over my tank but at 250w instead of 400w.
Now for another update, I had an old sump laying around (42x18x16), and got bored last night so with a little thinking and some tools came up with another addition to my fuge.

Yeah Jay I tend to do stuff like this after a couple of cold drinks, so far the total water volume is 498 gallons total.
When you finish setting it up please come take some macro from me, I get too much growth lol

How is your tank coming along, I might have to take you up on that offer.
Please do because I usually just throw it out and I feel bad for all the little creatures. My tank is pretty good, could be better but it's good enough for me

Since my tangs are getting bigger, and talking to other members here it is time to do my rock work over and give these guys a place to sleep. So with that said I will post picks of the transformation soon.
