    I'll post some more pictures soon.

    Got rid of the MH lit system and bought 5 AI Sol Blues from ACC, and I love em! Also added a Tunze ATO. Coming along great!

    Bought a new 35 gallon frag tank from Bud "Turbos aquatics" and love it. This will be housed over at my buddy Will "bobov50" as he has plenty of room To plumb it in to his new system. We will share frags from each others tanks, save money, and load up on exotics.

    Algae scrubber from once again Bud "turbos aquatics" is in the works, really excited to see this tank flourish.

    Cheers

    I had 3 cleaner shrimp in my tank for 4-5 months.  One went missing with no apparent reason.  I have since learned (internet research) that you should only keep 2 because 2 will pair up and kill the third one when it molts.  I wish I had known this before the fact.  It was awesome to see them interact.  I had only had 1 at a time before.  When you get more, they are much more out and about.  So I recommend pairs to anyone that only has 1.  As a side note, mine are in a 90 gallon, your 180 may have enough room for them to separate and hide while molting.

    I'm going to keep 2 pairs, 4 total, as I feel there is enough room for them to roam, and set up their cleaning zones. Its super cool to see them interacting with the fish!

    Just painted the bottom and the back "Black" This is Bobov50's and myself's frag tank. We bought it together so we can share frags and buy more exotic corals in the future and frag them out for ourselves, possibly for others as well...

    Hey Andy, took your word on the sump lighting. I spent 3 1/2 hours today cleaning it, doing a full clean/vinegar bath for my skimmer, and changing the lights. Here is the before and after photos! I love how it turned out... amazing!

    Hey mike just a hint on inserting pics from photobucket, not sure what you're using to post them but you're getting a bunch of extra code. Just hover over the photo until you get the list that pops up and select the "HTML Code" box and paste. Or are you posting via iPad or something?

    I am thinking he pasted the wrong code maybe then went back and edited it and pasted the correct, but forgot to delete the old code.
    I have done this before..

    I control c the HTML code and then control v when I click on the clip art button. I'll try to be more careful next time, but yes that annoys the heck outta me too lol

    They have it set up where when you are in your album, you can hover over the thumbnail and a window pops up around the pic thumb. Then the 4 options appear, and all you need to do is click the field next to the HTML Code and it will flash over to "copied", then you just ctrl+v here try that
