    Its been a few months since I've last updated. Here are a few photos of the tank from last night.

    Nothing really happening with the tank right now, just letting it hang out and do its thing.

  5. Shameless plug

    Every month, I have people ask me what I do for a living. When they discover my livelihood comes from Melev's Reef, they always seem to be very impressed. That being said, any order placed with my company helps me stay in business and is greatly appreciated.
