I want him to drop by next time and see how a proper tank system is set up, not what you have out back. LOL, but then again your facility is more productive then mine.

Gearing up for a local swap, I love going to these events. See old and new faces from everywhere.

What's up Eric! This is Adrian, Danny's brother. How ya been?! I just went through this whole thread and wow dude, you've done so much on your system. Everything has evolved to what it is now, it's even more impressive in person! I'm sure I've told you before, but tight work on all of this dude.

Sorry guys, been so busy with things I completely forgot. A lot has changed, tanks are filled with corals. Still adding and changing stuff around... BUT I've got photo updates on corals!

For a while I had given up on SPS and at the moment, I am getting back into it. The ones that are in my current tanks have been doing awesome. Enjoy the pictures, I'll get updates on equipment and so on later.

That Setosa will get bigger, I'm trying not to frag it but it's getting to a point where parts of it is shading stuff and will need a trim.

Most of the parts were local, Home Depot, Lowes, and Ace Hardware. Gate valves were only found at Ace Hardware and I used threaded ones so it's easy to remove for another application. Right now my manifold is an overkill and I don't use 4 of the 5 ports on it.

Thanks, it is a macro algae. Specifically Dragon's Breathe, I use to grow tons of it till it just started to break apart and die off. It's coming back now but my Chevron tang is just eating it up.
