An official check in to let you know I'm still around... I'm always around actually. I don't start new blogs up too often because a lot of people are subscribed to my blog and don't want to clutter up their inbox with minor chatter. I do check the blogs daily to see what you are posting, and if there's any SPAM to deal with. Reef Addicts is about to get another software update. It's already set up on a test site now, awaiting a little time to make sure all is running as it should.

Here's a nice tank to keep an eye on. Michael's a DFWMAS member, and has really paid attention to detail with his new setup. Click the image for a larger size.



Under the tank, the acrylic work was done by Melev's Reef.

With MACNA less than two weeks away, I've been really really really busy. Fortunately, my reef is running on auto pilot and doing quite well.

I recently got two samples of food from Reef Nutrition to use in my tank, and my fish love it. I'm feeding it both during the day time and adding a tsp of each each night after lights out for the corals to snack upon. All my fish are actively chasing it down, and the suncorals seem to accept it readily.

As you know, I build sumps for a living. Here are a few pictures of some made in the past 30 days or less.

A split sump due to the way the stand was built. Skimmer section and return on left; refugium in front half of right sump, with return in the back.

Thanks to Henry's request, I had to take a full tank shot and figured I might as well take a few more of the livestock.
