Been taking pics with the android phone will put a couple up, started close loop to create some flow in tank while I wait for the additional 30 gallons of water to filter. Having done so I have found the first change I will be making to the system. Little giant pump is a bit noisy and sure puts out the heat. I will building a dog house or something and moving the pump outside.
Pay it Forward Part II

Hey Bill, now that I have a little more room in my tank, I moved the frags I have been keeping for you to the front of the tank. Here is a pic. The stag on the right broke off of the one you gave me and seems to be doing ok but I have a much nicer piece up on the rocks that is yours when you are ready.

i love seeing people come together like this 8)
Rich the pieces I picked up from you last weekend are doing great for the most part.
The largest piece of blue tip is doing good but the 2 smaller frags didn't make it. I believe I put them in area that wasn't receiving enough lite.
The zoas, chalice and hammer are doing fantastic but I'm not sure what is happening with the other acro frag. It looks like it is just algae but when I pull it out it looks alive so I brushed it off but still looks like algae in the tank so it is wait and see at this time.
The piece you gave me that was semi round and had a few eyes that appeared to be alive, well those eyes are deffinetly alive and thriving. The mushroom leather I don't believe is going to make it but I'm giving it a chance, I had my concerns with how small the frag was and that we just cut it and put it in the bag.
So far those are the only pieces I've picked up and put in the tank but they are doing well so I believe even with the mini cycle the system is going thru I am safe to add more to the tank.

Glad to there the bulk of it is doing well. How about the birdsnest and candy cane? I was very surprised how well the remaining candy cane bounced back after cutting. The leather is doing well too. I suspect that by the time I get ready to set up the 125 it would be healed enough that I could get a better cutting off of it. It was just so hard to get to in it's current location. Also, I can cut another piece of the blue tip off of the big one if you want. There is a piece growing off the back side that I think would do great for you.
forgot about birdsnest and candy cane, they both are doing fantastic. the candy cane frags were in 2 pieces so I placed them in different locations in the tank and it's amazing the color variation. the single head is much darker green but both frags are eating and growing. the birdsnest is doing quite well as well and I expect this piece to grow rather quickly where I have it placed in the tank
Glad to hear it. 
I love both of those. When I got the green candy cane I didn't really think I would like it so much but now, I love it. It has grown like a weed in my tank. If I remember correctly, it was 3 heads when I got it. Even after cutting those for you it still has about 5 heads on it.

gotta turn of the word complete feature it could get you in trouble.
Glad to hear your back up and running and I wouldn't mind having a finger leather but your a long way away. Maybe get together at a monthly meeting but I can't make the one tomorrow

Jason (redstang) and eagle9252 thank you for the awsome frags the 2 of you gave me yesterday. I will try to post pics of their growth.
Now my tank doesn't look completely barren it is amazing how much bigger 150 gallons (72x20x24) is than 90 gallons (48x18x24) is

I know the feeling Bill. I had several frags sitting on the sand bed in my old tank. When I moved everything to the new tank I set them on the sand until I could figure out where I wanted them. Last night I moved most on to the rocks and it looks sooooooo barren. LOL But, it is only a matter of time.
