Erik, we did the switchover last Saturday. The 75 is no more, and yes, I'm still using the Tropic Marin Bio Calcium. :) --- Wendy

Just some pictures I took and wanted to share. I am pretty darn excited right now, because I got a hold of Stan, and we'll be picking up some goodies from him on Saturday. ;D Tenuis Baby Blue Milli Light Pink Milli Pink Birdnest German Green with Blue Crayola Roscoe's Chipps...

AO for me, too. Just wish it was closer. Or maybe not, because then I would most definitely be broke. ::) I go to Trop to look around, and have bought a few fish from them. LOVE their displays. The Hidden Reef is another good one, especially for dry goods. --- Wendy

LOL. Hey, I literally copied as much as I could from Merv's old 75. ;D Nothing wrong with that - as long as it works for you, right? --- Wendy

Thanks a bunch, John. I use Reef Crystals. Was it that bad? Why don't you ask Alex just how I was behaving on Saturday? :-[ No, seriously, it wasn't all that bad. It was worth each and every effort we put in it. --- Wendy

Thanks JR. I used several bags of Caribsea Aragamax Sugar-Sized Sand: 0.2 - 1.2mm diameter grain size, and a couple of bags of CaribSea Arag-Alive Bahamas Oolite Sand. --- Wendy

Thank you both so much. You guys/gals are the best. :) Turned out that my digital thermometer was more accurate than the Ranco controller. :o The tank's been settling in nicely, and it's nearly crystal clear now. Here are some new pictures. And thank you all again for the continued support...

I LOVE my Octopus Skimmers. They rock! --- Wendy

On my 75 I used the TekLight Fixture, 6 X 54 Watts. On my 180 I'm using the TekLight Ready-Fit Retro, 8 X 80 Watts. --- Wendy

I'm compelled to reply here. I, too, looked at those lights a while back (before I decided against them). They "appear" to be a great buy for the buck, HOWEVER (<--I capped this on purpose), the reflectors used on those lights can't possibly be either Ice Cap or Tek reflectors, otherwise the...

That's what I had on my 75, Bax, the Coralife digital thermometer. I know I have one of those floating, mercury ones laying around somewhere, and it's driving me nuts that I can't find it right now. I'll go look in the attic n a minute, perhaps I left it in my quarantine tank. And thank you so...

Thank you very much, Steve, Greg, and Bax. :) Steve, now all I need are some of your AWESOME corals. Please let me know when you have some frags available, will you, please? Greg, can't wait for you to see it personally. Bax, thanks again for all your wise words. We were actually considering...

Bob, you made me blush. :-[ Thank you so much. Tom, yes, it feels terrific to have that much room again. Actually all my corals look small in the 180, even those that I considered to be fairly nice sized colonies already, lol. Too early for wine right now, perhaps later, when we're done...

Mike, thank you so much. We're really pleased with the outcome. So far so good - knock on wood. Hopefully all the previous kinks have been resolved. :o Initially the majority of my SPS slimed up pretty badly when we transferred them over. I had one panic attack after the other, especially...

JR, I'm glad you found the pond liner. I LOVE Brocks Farms. I've bought more plants from them than anywhere else. :) Merv, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your post means the world to me, as I've idolized and drooled over your tanks since I started with this hobby. You've truly been an...

Sure you can ask. Let's just say one was about twice as much as an ORA frag, and the other was only a little bit more than an ORA frag. ;) --- Wendy PS. My tank's done. Transfer is finished. Too tired to post pictures. I need a glass of wine and sit and relax. :) I promise to post pictures...

I guess that all depends what you're going there for. ::) Our Home Depot beats our Lowe's tenfold. More selection, much better customer service, and better prices. --- Wendy

The one in Howell. They have TONS of it in the Garden Center. ;) --- Wendy

Thank you kindly. ;D I am SO stoked about these beauties, but then again, I have a soft spot for Milleporas, always have - always will. This is my best attempt of capturing their beauty. This one is the nicest, softest light pink: This one is baby blue, with shades of light green in it...

This is just a sneak peak update. I took a ride to AO today and simply couldn't resist these beauties: ;D The pictures really don't even do them justice. I'll try and fiddle with the camera when I have some more time. --- Wendy
