Thank you. My house is such a mess sorry again I didn't find those ballast.

Don't worry about the ballasts.

Ok guys here's an update on the big changes coming. The remaining pieces in my 210 wouldn't fit in the 75 so everything was moved into the 210. The 75 is still awaiting a new owner and the biocube is awaiting Connie's creative touches. Here is an update of the 210

The new sps tank is in the works and won't disappoint

Well after trying to shut down while out of town, it seems that you guys won't let me out. I came home after a 40 day stretch to find my tank looked like crap. Not really wanting to shoot myself in the foot with remaining pieces I decided I needed my "wow" factor back. Only way to do this is sps. So here I go again, and thanks to Mark, Brett, Kyle, and Rit, I've aquired most of my original pieces. Current list of sticks:

Garf Bonsai
Sky Blue Stag
EPB stag
Cali tort
Palmers Blue Milli
Rose Milli
Christmas Acro
Bug Out Stylo
Purple Stylo
Pink BN
BOP
Green BN
Miyagi Tort
Chameleon
Starry Night
Tri Color
Baby Blue
OZ
Green acro
Blue tenius
And one sick looking wild piece

While a have a quick second I figured I'd post an update. I've been incredibly busy and stretch thin of time with car shopping, work, baby shopping, bdays, funerals, etc. I'm lucky to have a wife that takes care of everything in the midst of it all. Unfortunately this update comes with bad news. While away for work I received news that my fish of 5 years were looking ill. I had added a few fish from the same lfs just before leaving. Shame on me this time for not qt'ing as the 210 now sits with only 5 fish from once 20+. It was for certain a parasite of some sort as all corals and inverts are growing at alarming rates. Here are some pics.

sorry to hear that buddy, hate to see that happen.
corals definitely looking good though!

 

[rdnelson]

Oh man. Hate hearing that. :-(

 

[glxtrix]

Awesome!

 

[m1resnick]

I'm sorry your fish is not well and hope it pulls through. Your tanks are breathtaking!

I have started a seahorse tank too in addition to my 90G, and hope mine do as well as yours. You are an inspiration to many of us.

You know I hate this hobby, over the past year and a half I tried to cut back. The end result is not good. I took a 6 month break from the sps... hated it. I like the variety sps come in. Now my 210 has more sps than ever before. Unfortunately it has killed my wallet but so far everything is doing great. https://vimeo.com/161527127">https://vimeo.com/161527127</a>

Well the tank looks awesome. I'm working on my own qt setup before I start my tank. It's definitely a pain when the tanks get big and there's so much fish and corals at risk.
