Thanks, Hiker!

Dennis, are you cleaning your sponges?

C

Nope, look at the one in the first pic in the left corner. That used to be bright yellow! :shock:

That is the sexiest tank I have ever seen!

 

[reeffreak]

It looks satisfactory.:grumble:

That is the sexiest tank I have ever seen!

ha!

You can be sexy too... just learn how to use a razor and quit smoking. ;)

Dennis, i noticed you have GFO/GAC and a UV sterilizer, do you run them both 24/7???

Kevin

 

[d2mini]

No, in fact I hardly ever use the UV sterilizer.
I bought it originally fearing that I was going to have algae issues being that I get a ton of natural light in that room (and sometimes direct sunlight), but so far I haven't had any problems. My old 46g (in a dark corner of a different room) had really bad hair algae and dino problems so I figured I'd nip it in the bud this time around, but I haven't ended up needing it. Lately I've been thinking of just pulling it out of the sump all together.

 

[crazy cajun]

what about the gfo and gac

 

[d2mini]

Both run 24/7.

Looks great! I love the pic of Wally checking the tank out!

 

[staceyfenea]

Your tank is beautiful and those pictures are amazing.

I would love to have that orange sponge. I've got a "red boring" and it's nice and adds color, but that orange sponge makes your tank pop. I've never even seen one like that in all of my LFS adventures.

 

[Bifferwine]

I have never even tried any of the decorative sponges (although I have a few really neat looking hitch hikers). It's never something my LFS has had in, and I'm very wary of ordering something like that online. You are tempting me to try, though!

 

[fastrd400]

We have a ton of those orange sponges out here. I was thinking of adding one to go with the blue one I currently have.

(MCR is gritting his teeth and trying to be nice) Nice shots.
Can the local livingreefs he man woman haters club chapter join up with your club freak?
Seriously nice shots.

 

[d2mini]

Ya, the sponges are cool but I did lose a two or three red ones. The base of that orange one deteriorated a little bit but i just broke off the bottom piece and replanted it.
If you get one you just have to make sure that it NEVER touches air. That will kill it quick.

 

[d2mini]

Just adding a new fishy pic. :)

 

[PRC]

POTM right there...I would love to make a snarky comment, but I can't. You're a badass with that camera.

 

[Bifferwine]

Wow, great pic! I love the detail in his fin ridges.

 

[yote]

Show off :D
Of course we wouldnt expect anything different.Awesome shot.

 

[PRC]

I keep meaning to ask...I think I've read a little about it., but I'm not clear on it..Are you a professional photographer? Or is this just a hobby. I see the Blue Lemon logo on your pics.
