jlehigh's 280 Pic Blowout!!

[Krish]

Sorry to hear about your reef going south John...:doubt: Glad to see your still in the hobby though

 

[CarlaW]

Really sounds alot like what happened here John. Not to dig up bad memories, but how long did it take with yours??? Sorry!!!!!

I heard Charlie... I was losing 1-2 colonies every week for 3 months. They would slowly bleach from varying points on the colonies and spread. No tissue loss, just excruciating bleaching.. On some of the bushy SPS the tips would look virtually burnt!

There are so many wild-cards when keeping SPS... There is a reason we dont see 10+ year old SPS tanks that havent experienced complete turnover in livestock. I facing that reality it's hard for me to justify taking any more coral in. I do have a few colonies that never looked better, but they are the minority.

i'm sorry to hear what happened dood .

 

[CarlaW]

Hey, at least you still have some left man, mine was totally devastated. I don't know why, but I kept all the skeletons in a garbage sack. Man let's get off this subject, sorry I brought it up. Do you have any pics of your new tank??? That ought to brighten this up a bit.

 

[jlehigh]

lol It's only a hobby Charlie One with a rather large correlation to financial security, but it's better than gambling in Vegas

I'll get some pics of the fish only tank this weekend I have finish work to do on it but I am STOKED because Saturday I am getting in some new fish! Whohoo!!

Sorry to hear about the reef John. I think all of us that have spent any time in this hobby can feel your pain. Looking forward to seeing your new tank though.

LOL!!! that's the spirit dood !!! i just finished watching the Seahawks game and ohh boy what a game , we watched it in HD too .

 

[spongebob lover]

ohh yeah nice home theater center and fish tank, i didn't know you had it in a home theater, isn't it a little bit loud in there with the tank ?

 

[jlehigh]

The tank is barely audible. Fish Only tanks are so simple.. The flow is delivered by a 1500gph external powerhead and the return pump on a rotating wavemaker.

Tank looks great John...Good job!
