ok, so here is the start of what i promised. im gonna start with the sump. yes, most will probably laughg, but i just recently finished doing a 10 gallon sump on her 20 gallon tank. ha ha. well, the whole reason behind it is that our tanks are only to prepare for the future. eventually we are going to have something in the neighborhood of a 150 gallon. so... this is all a learning curve/ frag spree. we are growing corals for the big tank, learning what brands, fish, corals we like, and figuring ...
I was in Basel for barely three days before it was time for us to head into Inner Schweitz. I made the most of my time there, taking off on foot to walk to some of my favorite places growing up.

Clothing, furniture, food, restaurants, watches, jewelry, toys, music, photography and ...

These are all new frags that I put in my Frag Tank. The first is a Blasto with some Cyphastrea near the lower right base. Candy cane ...
Today's set of pictures is only from the most famous landmark in Basel. It is the Münster, seen in almost any postcard that is sold. It dates back to 1180 A.D. and is visited by tourists year-round.

I've known the Münster my whole life, and may have climbed one of the ...
