With March comes 5 yrs since I went down to LA and bought my 225g reef tank. I found it for sale on RC and Scott Fellman was the owner. I've made quite a few changes since and added on a lot of equipment. Now I'm out of room.            ------------- 335G Reef TOTM. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2015/2/aquarium ReefKeepers TOTM Feb. 2012 http://reefkeeping.com/joomla/index....k-of-the-month & |

As always Brad your tank never ceases to amaze!

Yea, It's crazy how it has changed over the years. If I remember correctly there is about 260lbs of live rock that were all very large peices with the heaviest one being 80lbs. I waited 3 months before I added my first fish. It was the longest 3 months in my life.  ------------- 335G Reef TOTM. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2015/2/aquarium ReefKeepers TOTM Feb. 2012 http://reefkeeping.com/joomla/index....k-of-the-month & |

This is BIG for me, maybe not very many of you will quite appreciate this, the way I do, but I received a call wednesday from a supplier over in hawaii wanting to know if I was Interested in this flasher wrasse. Terminal male Bellae flasher. As far as I know, there are only about 5 guys out there that may own one at this time. They come from a very remote area and just recently a diver named Brian Green has caught a few. You wont see another one anywhere around here. I'm speechless.. and Very excited right now.   ------------- 335G Reef TOTM. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2015/2/aquarium ReefKeepers TOTM Feb. 2012 http://reefkeeping.com/joomla/index....k-of-the-month & |
