Not the prettiest beast...

[Yolo]

But another tank is reborn:

Rockwork looks like an edwards scissorhands movie...trying to get used to it. Only have a temp 200w PC over it, need to put on the MH setup later today.

Livestock:

Yellow Watchman Goby/Shrimp (coincidence there was a pistol shrimp in the overflow when I cleaned it out)
Sailfin Tang
Blue Tang
Pair of Mojo's Maroon Clowns - came with Eggs on a rock and two LTAs
Bicolor Dottyback
Cherub Angel

Dropped everyone in this AM all at the same time..

Off to a great start! I particularly like the polyps on the back glass :)

[swissfish]

nice, good work mike. Now go and have some beers and relax a bit:)

How is the yellow tang doing? I he getting better or not with you anymore?

[barometer]

That's gonna be a sweet tank, great start. :)

[Yolo]

That setup was FULL of nice LR, but, it was covered in Hair Algae. I ended up taking most of the rock he had in a Sump in the Garage (that had soaked for years but no light) and used it. I'm still scrubbing rock, but mostly just wanted to get this one up and the 75 shut down.

Left those zoos on the wall, just drained, moved the tank, kept them wet, out of sunlight, and they came back with no prob. NEVER scrap anything off walls, it always comes back. They add a nice touch.

YES...I finally got to the Beer :D (not gonna drive anywhere) too hot...just hanging around.

Still, have 75lbs of LR to "process"...with a toothbrush as I clear around the hair algae. Rock is covered in 2 RBTAs, Zoos, Kenya trees, and who knows what.

So Much for the Kitchen Counter...like thats a running joke now..

Have to wait for the MH lamps to go off so I can watch TV...JK

does your amquel plus last longer underwater? :)

like the frag tank

[Yolo]

I don't have the touch to frag...that tank was like xmas morning (well sort-of)...all kinds of stuff here and there, toothbrush it off, let it sit, brush again, little tedious. Out of Picture frame, 55g trashcan full of seawater to scrub rock in. Still have long way to go.

yeah, they don't call those aquaclears for nothing. That arrowhead jug however is actually in the tank, cut the top off of it and filled it with rubble...

mike, where's the kitchen???? =)

[RussM]

mike, where's the kitchen???? =) I think it's two block down and around the corner...

[alittlesalty]

wow Mike I guess its a good thing its not Heroin.

[mramc3]

Looks good Mike... Its cool going to your place... like going to a ghetto fish store or something!! jk.. can't wait to see the reborn tank in person.

[Yolo]

Nope...just a few temp setups to separate out fish, cleaned rock, dirty rock, etc. Basically a processing center for incoming stock from the 92 and the 75 tanks. Most will be gone by Sunday.

[Techknowledgy]

....for those of you just reading this.... and who have never actually been to Mike's, let me give you some perspective. It is like telling someone what is like to go to Disneyland.......... and actually going there...... yeah.... kinda like that!
(Heroin IS cheaper..... but the buzz I am sure does not last as long!)

[Yolo]

You know, I always wonder what people think after they have been over...but in reality, its harmless. I keep busy, and its a fun hobby. I just don't have a garage right now (thank you sucky Real Estate Market).

But, last time I checked You Only Live Once and you might as well have fun.

Soon enough I'll be down to 4 tanks again...but that Cube I got from Russ is calling me...

[Techknowledgy]

... and here I thought you were from Yolo! Very cool.

[victortrav]

Mike i swear you told me you were droppint the number of tanks you were keeping. talk about your propigation

[Yolo]

No I was driving up North one day on business and just happened to see this sign up in Yolo County...had to go back and take the PIC...couldn't resist.

I think I need a sponsor to keep me on task. Problem is, everytime I do, they take my tanks and corals away from me "for my own good" they say. ????

[Techknowledgy]

Reef Keepers Anonymous?

[Techknowledgy]
