Our aquaculture building finally arrived!!!

[Mwebb]

Great read. I can't wait to see your building. I also am very impressed with your geothermal cooling. I want to see it closer, so I can learn more about how it is power and you did your swiches ect.....

I have summers off, so if you need help one day let me know or don't mind some company.

Thanks Mark. Your welcome to come over anytime you want. Just call or PM me to be sure I’m home. Would love to show you around.

[SaltyDawg]

Awesome! I know it's been a long time coming. Now just put something in there that I want....lol.... Congrats.

[rayme07]

Awesome Thanks for the pics. Those are some amazing looking corals with some bright colors. Sure wish I had money to spend and a bigger tank.

[lReef lKeeper]

man, i GOTTA get to Florida !! im sure Dick could use some help chopping those beauties up !!

[Amphibious]

Hey Bobby, come on down, you’re always welcome. We’ll frag something and have a brewski.

[CarmieJo]

YIPPEE!!!!!! I love the micromusa!

Matt to TR!

[Amphibious]

Oooops, Carmie, it’s Mark. Mark is a friend of mine from a local club, Brevard Area Reef Society. Welcome to TR Mark.

[Dekon]

That Wild Purple Micromusa with Neon Green eyes is awesome looking. As a matter of fact all the pics look great!

[Amphibious]

Thanks, Dekon.

Been getting some awesome corals.



The Sun Coral, Tubastrea. Did anyone know that Tubastrea is found along the FL Atlantic coast? It is and FL FWC is about to allow collection of Tubastrea beginning in July of this year. They consider it an invasive species. My collectors have a large plot of it plugged into there GPS unit. So I will be getting Tubastrea in good numbers soon.



I was given a 2 polyp frag of the ever popular Purple People Eater (PPE) Paly about 9 months ago. It has grown nicely in my system. Now, numbers 27 polyps. As the polyps grow out onto the surrounding rock, I’ll frag it from time to time.



This Bloodlust Acan is awesome.

More later.

Dick

[Phurst]

Wow, really nice looking stuff Dick!

[rayme07]

Dick you have some awesome looking corals!! I cant wait for those things to get fragged.

[DiverDown!!!]

Hi Dick (from michiganreefers.com)
Your thread is amazing! And I thought my build was huge...lol
I don't know how I got your email, but I'm glad I did.( sent you an email about my build)
I can't wait until you get this up and running, we come down to Florida a lot to scuba dive. I wouldn't mind making a pit stop to witness this first hand and pick some corals up for my tanks.

[techguy]

Incredible pieces Dick! These are the kind of pieces I would like in my tank

[Kaymanager]

Wow! I knew I had been away for awhile but I guess I didn't know exactly how long. The new set up and corals are looking AMAZING. congrats on getting everything finally up an running. How's life been?

[Amphibious]

I don't know how I got your email, but I'm glad I did.( sent you an email about my build)

Hi David,

You might have gotten it when you bought the Level Loc ATO in Jan, ’09. You’re welcome to stop by anytime you come to FL. Just let me know when you’re coming.

Incredible pieces Dick! These are the kind of pieces I would like in my tank

Well, these will be for sale on the site soon.

The new set up and corals are looking AMAZING. congrats on getting everything finally up an running. How's life been?

Hey Loren, been wondering where you disappeared to. Our life is great. How about you guys?

[SaltyDawg]

Awesome. Keep it up and you will be the reason I have no money..lol. Looks good..congrats.

[Amphibious]

Some more eye candy coming out of quarantine.



Blue Acid Red Chalice about 6 x 4 inches.



Wellsophyllia (Trachophyllia in the "Corals of the World” book series) about 4” across when opened fully.



A really nice Aussie Scrolling Hammer about 5” across.



A Paintball Splatter Scollymia.



They called this one a Christmas Favia.



One of the troughs. I’m still playing with different lights. So far I’ve got two 4’ Coral Life Power Compacts and two 3’ TEK T5s. Next I’m going to get two Ice Cap 4’ x 8 bulb T5 retrofit fixtures. Yikes this is expense!!!

Happy reefing.

Dick

[Amphibious]

Awesome. Keep it up and you will be the reason I have no money..lol. Looks good..congrats.

LMAO!!! So far I haven’t offered any of these for sale so, right now I have little money!!!

Here’s a couple more to drool over. At least I drool.







I didn’t mark down the names of these other than Acans. I’ll have to back track and find out.

Need to buy a bandsaw with a diamond blade soon. I think I’m going to see if I can sell these big Acans without cutting them before i chop them up. It seems a shame to cut them.

Later...

Dick

[CarmieJo]

Beautiful pieces Dick. I really like the hammer.

[V]

wow, so much eye candy that i dont really know which smiley i want to portray as my electronical emotional conveyance ..lol, so take them all i say!!!

[reefguy20]

I just finished reading through all 16 pages of this awesome build! OUTSTANDING!!!! I love what you have done. I would love to visit you some time when I come down to visit FL (I live in Michigan - as COLD or colder than WI) lol. We usually come down once a year and visit Marco Island, FL which is on the other side, but it would only be about a 3 1/2 hr drive. LOVE your corals!

[rayme07]

I hope you start a thread with info on your tanks (especially pictures)!
