I won't be able to buy any corals tomorrow at the CaliKid sale as I work, so I thought why not still buy a frag lol

Not from Calikid but WWC, a HG torch.....ships Tuesday and I'll update Wednesday when it gets here with more photos.

I'm a little excited about this one :)

Very nice Merkey! That Og is absolutely insane. Any idea what kind of par its sitting in? Mine can't seem to get enough light!
Thanks LRT, he sits around 135...while I haven't tested after the removal of the black sand, I don’t think it would change much where he is.

What size. I hope you find a deal like I did
Well we weren't looking for something this big but we couldn't pass up this deal. We still need to figure out all the apex stuff as it came with everything. I had to just plug everything in without apex so I can get a better grip on that system.

We also still need to hook up the 4 hydra 32s, UV, alfmgea scrubber and 2-50 gallon tub mixing station. There are also so many left over pieces to figure out hahah

Everything is looking really good so far :)

So here's a little update with the space invader from 1 week ago, I tried to get the same view as the picture in my last post....everything else is looking happy after the switch as well!

75g is year old and evolving nicely. Removed the black sand as it was sticking to my magnets. The tanks are responding nicely.

Bio cube 32g is now a little over 4.

Very nice tank! Love all the big torches
Thank you very much, they are our favorites. We moved them around a bit so they are more like a garden hahaha

Thanks again and how is your tank doing?

Is that a sexy gold hammer Hiding under the green hammer? :oops: You guys are doing great I want to do something similar with my tank! I love hammers and torches. Torches remind me of car wash noodles flopping all over the place. My tank is doing good not nearly as packed as yours of course lol. I have yet to acquire my first torch. The odd names and high prices really confuse me though;Bookworm

It is a gold hammer :)

Thank you so much, I was caught up in all the names as well and now that indo opened up there are just so many that are cheap that don't have names that I go for ;)
