yepper jon, bare as my head...lol

shaun, all talk my friend, lol......anytime u want to swing by, alay welcome...when am inviting myself over ur place?

 

[loismustdie]

Jhale, I banged up the plumbing on the top right at the end of the day, that's where I called it quits for the day. And yes, Mike went BB... I was chewing my lip all day not to say anything, but I keep in mind that you guys with BB got some bada$$ tanks. It looks great Mike. The color of your corals speak for your skills. I've never seen such bold colors. Pleasure working with the members of MR.

 

[loismustdie]

BTW, the sump modifications were a last minute thing no one really knew about. We made the mods with last minute knowledge and limited equipment/supplies. Do you have a microbubble problem or is it all clear? Did it work out, or do you think you could have used more/better baffles?

 

[jhale]

Chris you need to see shauns/solbbys tank, you will not even realize there is no sand in it

and since this is mikes thread, I'm sure his tank will look just as good some day

 

[Tonyscoots84]

[DEEPWATER]
