I love this first chalice, especially under 20,000K lighting. This green and blue one is doing quite well. A little frag was gifted to me by popular vote on DFWMAS, and this is the actual color of the tissue. I used a flash to keep the color honest. This little guy is amazing. You ...

It has been a long time since i have updated my build. Before starting a lot has happened over the last year and a half. I have changed jobs, welcomed our new addition to my family with a handsome son and moved into my fiances home. Since spring i have built a 9 by 9 foot filter room in the basement where all of my equipment is at. For my tank equipment I went with 3 ecotech radion pros, 2 vortech mp40's, reef octopus xp3000 ext skimmer, bubble magnus dosing pump, tunzes ato, dart return ...
