Ian's postulate: You can't have every coral.

and the corollary: But you can try.

A couple friends and I went up today. We ended up spending way too much money. This is part of what we took home. The first three pieces we are going to split. The last is mine. They each bought a piece for themselves as well.

Yeah no kidding. There were 3 of us there, the 3 are to split and we each took home one piece for ourselves. Believe it or not I spent the least money. I actually left with money in my wallet.

Well, I decided that when I upgrade it will be acrylic. Two main reasons, earthquakes and its easier to move. So I just ended up ordering myself a new skimmer and a new tek light.

haha, msx 250 skimmer (they had a price drop) and a 4x54 tek. I think I am going to use the 6x54 along with the 4x54 over the new tank.

Tony its going to replace the ada tank. Pretty much just a foot wider front to back. I was planning to hang a 6x54 and a 4x54 watt tek light over it. I was thinking about putting the elos over it but it would be too hard to hang the tek light over the frag tank.

How about a 10x54 ATI instead? Tek is a good deal, but you do loose a fair bit (15-20%) of light due to passive cooling.

10x54 ati would be nice. But I can't spend another thousand on a light. hahaha.
