    Pirate ship naming, I think you should name your ship the same as blackbeards; The Queen Annes Revenge!

    here is my Blasto Merletti. the first pic is under my new 14k bulb and the other is the old 10k stock bulb which for some reason made a better picture

    here's my neon green Candy Cane which is in the process of splitting up some heads, i started off with like four or five

    the new Duncan

    Only if you pipe down... (pirate lingo...) Then maybe only a flogging will be in order, or just walk the plank?

    wow! nice tank! i love the corals!

    How do you manage with a tank so tall and narrow? My parents originally bought me a 47 tall for my birthday, and i couldn't even reach the bottom of the tank while standing on a step stool and there would have been no way i would have been able to fit all the equpiment on the back of the tank, and stacking the rock would have been imposible. So i traded the tank in for the 46 bow

    How'd you do it. it looks so good. That looks like the same stand that came with 47 tall too
