Looks good Brian, love the light mover idea (gonna have to steal that one). Excellent work I would love to see it sometime in person. I didn't recall reading but did you by chance provide a way to shut off the pump from upstairs? I wish I would have every time I fed I had to run downstairs, turn off pump then back down to turn on. After a while it was too much and I said screw turning off the pump during feeding.

On a side note with basement sumps, I would recommend covering the tanks in the basement. After a year of having one I can say I'm sooooo glad not to have one anymore in a few weeks. I have stuff on the other side of the basement that has never been by the sump rusting, not to mention our new washer and dryer (can't wait to see what they look like inside...)

Just emailed Hydor. they send free modified bushing for evo owners. Or you can use a dab of superglue to prevent it from slipping lol

So every time I'm out at Coral Ranch, I hear of this awesome coral that he was saving for me, but Brian badgered him into selling it him. So when are we going to see some photos?

Lonnie, I have a RK2 controller upstairs mounted in the canopy and is connected to the basement power strip via 25' Cat5 cable. Down stairs the same controller is hooked up to a laptop.

I have been slacking on the pictures. Real happy with the way everything has turned out. I will get some new pictures up real soon Paul and include the shot of the 6" x 3" Strawberry Shortcake Acro that Rich got for his favorite customer.

Paul I have some Austrailian corals coming in, including 4-5 acro colonies. I told them not to deliver untill Friday just for you.

Almost forgot Brian I fragged the acro above the right raceway.I have a couple left.

Brian, your tank setup is just really awesome. Thanks for sharing it with us!

You beat me to this comment

Actually my tank is getting pretty full, so I just like to stop out and see if I can find something special.

Here is a Red and Green Blastomussa Wellsi I got from the Coral Ranch at the 2009 Ohio Reef frag Swap. It has done well in this new tank and seems to really like the light it is under. I took some other pictures but they didn't come out to good. The strawberry shortcake acro isn't picture worthy yet Paul.

Secondgen · « **Reply #163 on:** February 06, 2011, 19:30:54 »

Your picture looks fine to me Brian. Keep up the good work. You have some of the best looking coral I have seen.

HUNGER · « **Reply #164 on:** February 06, 2011, 20:13:42 »

wow that looks great

Wall_Tank · « **Reply #165 on:** February 06, 2011, 20:29:46 »

Blastos look great. How much light do you have yours in.....how about water flow?

As for pictures, how did you get a perfectly black background?

lazylivin · « **Reply #166 on:** February 06, 2011, 23:07:46 »

I have them under 400w Metal Halide, on the sand, off center from light getting about 300 PAR. However for the picture I moved the light directly over them so they were likely in about 500 PAR for the shot. The flow they are in is likely between low and moderate.

How this occurs I don't have any idea. Gary Parr answered this question once and all I remember him saying is it take a lot of light on the subject. Perhaps someone with knowledge could explain it. Also with the right picture you can help it a bit with Gimp or Photoshop like I did here.

Excellent work. Very impressive. Is that a gymnastics mat on the side?

all i can say is wow

Just sharing some pictures of my male Hoeven Wrasse (Halichoeres melanurus) from Coral Ranch

sticks_wife · « **Reply #170 on:** March 05, 2011, 19:35:03 »

That is a beautiful fish!

lazylivin · « **Reply #171 on:** March 05, 2011, 19:45:33 »

I think so too, they make a great addition to most community tank, known pest eater and are typically very reasonably priced.

Kenn · « **Reply #172 on:** March 05, 2011, 20:27:31 »

Love the colors ! Great looking fish ... is it going through your hypo-salinity treatment ?

lazylivin · « **Reply #173 on:** March 05, 2011, 20:34:05 »

It already wen't through the hyposalinity treatment. I do currently have 3 other fish in Hyposalinity right now. They get out on 4/1, Six line wrasse (Pseudocheilinus hexataenia), Moorish Idol (Zanclus cornutus) and a Bicolor Angel (Centropyge bicolor)

Are you worried about the bi-color having a taste for $ corals $ ?
