Congrats first off

Wonderful thread!! Your old tank was amazing, sorry about the meltdown. This new tank looks like its well on its way to becoming better than the first

Thanks for the videos, those were a treat to watch. Might want to dub some music over the first one, because all I want to do is switch my car insurance to Gieco right now

Jamesurq · 07/12/2005, 10:17 AM

I have a range of voices - I felt my "Insurance Salesman" voice was appropriate.

I'll put another one together in a few months and use my "70's pornstar" voice

selgado · 07/12/2005, 11:24 AM

Very nice.

Oops.

Man, I just started reading this thread, and when I saw your garage, a giant pile of guilt dropped off my shoulders. Ever since I installed my 50g in my house, things are getting college-days nasty in my house. There's a canyon of sorts running from my bedroom to the front door comprised mostly of discarded yogurt containers and old magazines. But my tank looks pristine! It's managing to work out in my favor, though--the ex is hurting for money, so now I'm getting to pay her to clean my house. Yep, that %*&#$ is now my maid! Ouch, that's gotta hurt!

Wow, what a difference 6 months (to the day, yo!) makes. With the exception of a few VERY unusual morphs, you can't get more than about $5-$10 a polyp for these on eBay. Still, I love my Hollywood lord (an awesome morph, screaming red, not the mauve that qualifies for red on most lords, and grey) which was $280 for 3 polyps and worth every penny!

mopecula · 07/12/2005, 07:10 PM

very nice tank, i have the same tank and i can only hope some day it will be looking as good.

Just wanted to say i finished reading the posts today and wow. congrats on the thread it is very informative and gives me a good idea of what my tank is going to look like soon, i hope lol.

Jamesurq · 07/13/2005, 07:08 PM

Thanks everyone...

thrlride · 07/13/2005, 07:28 PM

James, where are your updated whole tank shots?

Is that 'open brain' a scolymia? It looks just like one I got from kip.

Jamesurq · 07/13/2005, 07:42 PM

Trachyphyllia geoffroyi I think... wellsophyllia maybe? Not really sure..

blitz552 · 07/14/2005, 07:50 AM

awesome

thrlride · 07/14/2005, 07:51 AM

Cool. Looks just like a scolymia I got a few months ago.

Now that's funny stuff!

Hmm. James I wish I had my sump somewhere else besides under my tank, but what can I do. Canopy looks awsome man, by the way, probably has helped with keeping everything cooler under there since you have alot more space. Just wait until I get a house, and upgrade my tank while I'm having to move it anyway. But an awsome system all the same. Did you ever use that 400W MH to set up a frag system? I remember you had it over your 75, but I think that you sold (the tank) it if I remember correctly.

Dan

Jamesurq · 07/14/2005, 10:54 AM

Damn Dan - you been reading my bio or what ?

Yeah - that 400 watter was over the 75 - now it's over the 90... Right in the center..

TheCoralNabber · 07/14/2005, 10:58 AM

What do you mean "reading your bio" If you remember I was able to check out your system a few times, got the LR and the 30 for the sump from you on two seperate occasions when you still lived outside of g-boro. This was shortly before you moved, and I remember when you were trying to sell the 75. Just have a good memory james, that all

Dan

Jamesurq · 07/14/2005, 12:33 PM

Ah... Hell - I guess I'm proving that I don't have a good memory.. The kid with the Buick

sorry I forgot..

TheCoralNabber · 07/14/2005, 01:41 PM

Hey what can I say, I've got it paid off, it isn't the prettiest car, but it runs well and is a 99 and I do have a 65 mustang that I'm working on, that redeems me a little right

thrlride · 07/14/2005, 01:56 PM

Nope.

The only good Buick is an '87 Grand National.

j/k

Jamesurq · 07/14/2005, 03:15 PM

Hey - I loved my 1973 Buick Riviera with the 455.. mmmm.....

OK _ back on topic: james' thread's great....

bigreddog · 07/15/2005, 05:53 AM

I just read the entire thread, all 24+ pages. I'm glad to see the impressive recovery after everything you and your reef have been through. It all proves that it's more than just a hobby to you. Keep it going.

bigreddog · 07/15/2005, 05:57 AM

BTW, IMO the best Buick every made was the 1970 GS Stage I, beautiful car and fast.

finneganswake · 07/15/2005, 10:59 AM

My mom's Buick LeSabre (which I learned to drive in) topped out at about 60 miles per hour and if you took a turn at faster than 15 miles per hour, the hubcaps would fly off. Almost took out my shop teacher with one when I thought I was going to be late to school.
