I am putting in a tentative yes. Depends on how things are going with the young'n.

Your generosity and continued knowledge here are much appreciated!

Great entries so far! Keep them coming!

Merged the two threads.

Head to Mexico for some fun Happy birthday!

The category for February is: LPS. Show us your best shots of a LPS. Please note the new rules: Picture must be taken by you. One entry per person. Picture must be of an LPS in a fish tank or ocean. (New) You may only win once per calendar year. Thus if you win a photo contest in 2012, you will not be able to enter any future contests for the year. We feel this gives everyone a chance in the contests throughout the year. Submit your photos to the following gallery: http://www.austinreefclub.com/gallery/album/409-february-12/ Submissions close at midnight February 15th. Winner receives a $25 gift certificate to River City Aquatics (RCA)!

I would just like to remind everyone to keep a civil tone in this thread. Opinions are fine as long as they are stated respectfully. If this thread becomes a flamefest, it willbe locked down.

I added 70lbs of dry rock to my existing 75g with no ill effects. As Mark said, you will eventually get a diatom bloom but that is good, the white was too blinding.

Moving this to the Classifieds section.

Very nice! Low light shots are always hard for me to do.

Congrats to luckylou!

I just threw up a little bit.

Some pictures. Just born: Big sister coming to visit: Snoozing away:

Didn't look like my picture didn't attach. Will have to try again when I get home.

We are happy to announce a future ARC member, Jacob Taren! He arrived early Friday morning weighing in at 7.5 pounds. Both mom and kiddo are doing great.

Moving this to the For Sale/Trade section.

That would look sharp!

The rock towers are a cool idea. Will definitely like to see this become a reality!

I changed it so it was an actual poll. And my vote is actually the first two. I have them in my fuge, and have tossed a few peppermints back there before, but the anemones remain. I am not really worried about them. I see one appear in my main display from time to time, but I have some peppermints in there that normally deal with it.

Sweet looking tank! I personally like the first rock layout you had in a semi-circle.

I have hermits in my tank with a clam, and they leave it alone. Granted, I only have a few blue hermits and one Halloween in a 75g tank. So the competition for food between them is low.

RCA had a sea robin in at one time I think.

I think that should be sufficient lighting to maintain a lot of corals. I use 2x 150W MH over my standard 75g. Any corals that need a lot of light could always be placed higher in the tank. (And welcome aboard!!)
