Hello Ms Posh

Love the tank (but you know that already). That rose anemone at the top of the right column is especially cool ... looks like a lit torch.

 

[Posh]

Hello sir!

Thanks! The RBTA stayed at the bottom of the column for almost a year.. then decided to move to the top of the column. I don't know if it's because it wanted more light, or to get away from something. Nothing changed in the tank it just moved one day.

Look who's here . The tank is looking awesome!!!

Any regrets about going BB?... told you it would work

Really glad to see you around, I think you'll enjoy it here. I know I do.

BTW how's the new house?

 

[Posh]

Hey you =)

Thanks! So far so good.. love the BB I don't miss the sand at all. The BB I think is a bit more work with the siphoning, but it's a much cleaner overall and worth the time. Ocean loves his home so I'm happy =)

House is good.. had some people over from our local reef club last night.. so it was kinda crazy having all those people over.. but things are good. Hopefully we'll finish the downstairs soon, it's quite a mess!

Len made me join, I had no choice LoL.
