jervismun Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Here it goes again.. Unstopable "choochoo marine train" More pics Jervis... You have been stalking me? It's a good feeling seeing the 'old birds' again. This tank will undergo a major overhaul this afternoon and that's the reason why I decided to share it before it "disappears" Due to work commitment (for the next 3 to 6 months), I have decided to pass most of my SPS to a close friend for safekeeping. He is my best candidate and I'm sure he will be able to take good care of these babies. So, what I will do today is to take 1 final FTS and begin the transformation. Have not really decided how/when/what to transform into... but most probably to a lower maintenance setup with less demanding inhabitants. Will update again tonight Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you can find an empty corner in your new home I hope I don't have to do anymore reviews... I was silly and "young" once... made some friends but made a lot more enemies I will keep this tank running as it's probably less painful and time consuming to just keep it Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless. Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
