Got 20 lb of live rock from Horizon and another 20 lb from my friends house. Half went into my 135 gallon the rest to my fiance's 55 gallon tank. Here are the updated pics that took me 2 hours, two large crate for the corals to sit in till the aquascape was finished.

Joseph is too cool. He has a wife and a fiancee.

[caferacermike]

I'm jealous. I want a wifey and a fiance and a mistress. Well maybe not a wife, but a mistress would be cooler then free live rock.

Not to mention that tank looks to be about infinity deep. Did you see how those corals kept going back and back?

[josephatmbimortgage]

lol, sorry,. I called my fiance wifey and some time fiance, lol. No side mistress...lol Yet, lol I got her back into it the reef thing, and bought 4 lbs live rock for her and 4 lb for me to decorate. Next thing we will be shopping for corals. I'm not going to show her, she is going to do that on her own to get her more involved in it. We bought a used Hamilton Dual 175 watts Mh with Vhos complet fixture, but the vho don't work. I'm going to ghetto rig some 3 ft pc I used on the 135 a while back. She wants the shimmer effect like the living room tank. I wondering if anyone has a purple pocillapora they can sell to me.She saw it on Dr. Foster mag and wants it now. Wifey happy with corals, and can't get mad at me buying so much lately...lol. Ohh I just got my Seio 2700 power head blasting towards the acros from across the tank, it's a beast and fraction a cost of tunzes,I know ya going to say more heat, but the way I see it, I will get a chiller soon. Those Maxi 1200 heat up the tank just as much. Waiting on 2 hydor koralas #4, on back order so hopefully soon.

[josephatmbimortgage]

Ohh okay, We saw that wrasse too but got confused. The one we saw was way too big, 4.5 inchs!!

-Joseph

[stoneroller]

Hey Joseph, your tank is looking great. Can't wait to see that scooby doo grow up!!

[josephatmbimortgage]

Thanks Kevin, I'm loading on supplements now since I have enought acros to suck everything out and grow faster.

[josephatmbimortgage]

Last time I'm going to post pictures of my tank, don't want people to say I do it too often when I get new stuff. I cleaned out KyleV corals he was getting rid of to go fish mainly. I looked at my receipt and since I been on ARC and MAAST in the past I guess 3 months. My tank changed alot . I post pics a while back but compare to now, ya will see what I worked hard for and speant tons of moola. From running VHO's and PC only 4 months ago to now, with Two 250 watt MH and 6 ft VHO Super actinics. Now having a sump and all the good for the wave effect in the tank and upgrade on all power heads. I would never imagine I go this fast in such a short amount of time. Enjoy my work, it cost me an arm, leg and some hair lost. It all comes down to the love and dedication that bite me again after seeing soo many great tanks and being inspired for the future. When we move from our house in 2009, I will have a 300 gallon plus tank as a room divider with all the goods. The race is on to have the ultimate tank! Ohh and I'm going to buy a huge chiller now for the future. Hate heat issue, don't want fans everywhere anymore.

Ohh and In those pics there is no VHO Super Actinics, waiting for Icecap to send back the repaired icecap 660 ballast. Just running my Mh bulbs. Was thinking of putting my Pc back on for the time being but got lazy!
