    Awesome build thread. Man I love Ricordea. A while back I was having issues trying to get them to grow. I think it was Jerry who told me that they like to be on a vertical surface so I tilted the rock it was on and man it looks ten times better. Guess it has something to do with the way the light hits it.Good luck with it!!;)

    Actually it has to do with how they grow in nature. Something in the neighbor of 95% to 98% of all Ricordeas grow on a vertical face. Fantastic color on the yuma.

    I decided to make this because of a recent flood in my laundry room. The gf didn't know how to turn off the water main so I made this nice easy to understand switch just in case the overflow/ATO fail safe fails. ;).

    Plus who wouldn't want to have a master kill switch displayed in their reef. ;)

    Good idea. Very futuristic too. Now pick up those little pieces of black plastic off the rug before she hurts you.lol
