Random Thoughts

I have to say that I had an awesome time at Macna. I only saw a few Reef Addicts while I was there but I saw many great speakers and learned a bunch.

My view from the hotel and the Chase building that seem to be exited about LED's. The whole time I wanted to go buy an Ipad for some reason





Reef ...

So I am leaving for Tampa in a few minutes. I will be down there through Friday and was wondering what Local Fish Stores I should try to get to while I am in town? I prolly just do some window shopping since Macna is just around the corner.

when can we expect a new one?

Just as good a day as any to give your new tank its fist birthday. Right now between 1600 and 1800 all the lights are on, I have set them each for 6 hours with a two hour start delay for each halide. As you can see I have not cut off the threaded stock from the lights because the lights are not centered front to back over the tank, this may need fixed if I decide the front of tank is too dark. The rails stop at the crown molding in the garage which would give me a couple of inches.

Marc, you mentioned cleaning your over flow out in your recent article...curious if you have heard of anyone using that area as a deep sand bed? particularly in my tank the outlet from the overflows is at the top going out the back, no stand pipe to worry about cleaning and such. At the base of my overflows there is .25 to .5" of mud and bristles and pods. Just food for thought
