Thank you. Your new congressman will rule with an iron fist. Like Stalin.. If you do not vote for him, you will be sorry.

thrlride · 05/19/2005, 02:04 PM

Where have you been getting most of your frags?

Jamesurq · 05/19/2005, 02:55 PM

Some from "Pi" some from "kip" some from Dr. Mac and some were from what was left of the tank crash.

Mickey · 05/19/2005, 07:26 PM

Looking good, James. Can't wait to see it in a year or two when those frags grow out.

James, why are you using a picture of Habib for your avatar?

Jamesurq · 05/20/2005, 06:13 AM

It does look a little like him huh?

That's Borat from Khazekstahn.

melev · 05/20/2005, 12:35 PM

I don't know...

AJP · 05/20/2005, 12:41 PM

Here is a picture of Habib (in the red polo) with the CEO of ASM.

AJP · 05/20/2005, 12:42 PM

melev · 05/20/2005, 12:46 PM

See?!

builderguy · 05/20/2005, 04:09 PM

Okay....I just found this thread...there's 3 hours of my life I'll never get back LOL. Great post...very interesting to watch it develop and learn of all the trials and tribulation you went through along the way...the crash, the cracked, tank, almost cutting off your thumb....

thrlride · 05/20/2005, 04:41 PM

Just three ours? You ought to see mine with over 61000 views.

That amount of life gone would be depressing.

Thanks man! Appreciate your time.

Ryan's thread is longer - but less drama...

thrlride · 05/21/2005, 10:17 AM

I had the injury but no broken glass.

elephen · 05/21/2005, 10:46 AM

wow, the corraline is growing like wildfire! congrats a+!

What are you using to control calcium, alk and ph levels?

Jamesurq · 05/21/2005, 07:54 PM

Its Oceanic and baking soda basically.

That and I'm running a heavy kalk mix with an autotopoff.

I run closer to NSW levels - 400 calcium, 8 dkh or thereabouts. Don't check the magnesium levels but I"m sure they're in line.

ich_commando · 05/22/2005, 10:12 AM

The tank continues to look better and better! I can't imagine what 70+ frags all growing to gether in a few years will look like. Incredible I bet!

Jamesurq · 06/13/2005, 12:34 PM

It's about time for a monthly update.

HEre's a growth picture - showing (in horribly washed out pictures) the right side of the tank - this represents 4 months growth.

AJP · 06/13/2005, 01:02 PM

Wow, that is amazing growth. I wish I had done before and after shots.

thrlride · 06/13/2005, 01:35 PM

Hey James, don't forget my coralline...

Jamesurq · 06/13/2005, 02:08 PM

Oh - don't worry I will.

Jamesurq · 06/13/2005, 02:09 PM

You want some of that red stuff?

You can see it on the intake pipe. It grows in large plates on the rocks...

thrlride · 06/13/2005, 02:12 PM

Is it redish brown? I think I have lots of that.

Jamesurq · 06/13/2005, 02:24 PM

It's red with orange edges and highlights...

thrlride · 06/13/2005, 02:29 PM

Sure, why not. I don't have any of that stuff.

Do I just dump it in the tank?
