    Thanks guys, I really appreciate it, it's great to share it with folks that understand what reefing is all about. The coralline floor was a total pleasant surprise Krish, it has spread like wildfire, it may be helping to keep my nitrates down, gotta be putting a real dent in the Ca++ too...

    I'm having fun with the D40, wish I could afford a macro. Jason suggested that I take monthly photos so I can have an idea of how fast things are growing, it'd hard to tell when you are looking at it every day, isn't it.

    Sorry Krish:D Finally getting my aquascaping and coral placement more to my liking, once I can raise the hood I'll put the finishing touches on.. I'm pretty maxed out on the fish, but I'd like to squeeze a magnificent foxface in yet...Here's a view just after the tank was set up four months ago...

    Oh man Krish, I feel awful. I always assumed you were a male of the species, if I was incorrect I hope you will forgive me. Of course, it goes without saying that if you are a pimple encrusted star wars fan who's life goal is to become a level 42 warlock, well we don't need to go on do we......

    Homemade Fish Food.

    The Jello Bean Method Pick out an assortment of seafood, the more varied the better, the seafood medley is a great way to go for a starter, 1 or 2 of the components (mussels and clams I think) are cooked but that is no big deal, the squid, octopus, cuttlefish etc are raw, try for small whole...

    The dogs are supervising, they are the brains of the outfit... Randy is finishing up the fabbing on the gravity lift, looks like it will be up and working within a week. It was a bit of an investment but worth every penny, fortuneatly I'm not in the Salsa business so I could afford to go...

    The Harp Gravity Lift Takes Shape Thought I'd post some initial photos of the steps completed on the gravity lift for my hood. Randy has installed the vertical support beams and the counterweight pulley system, and he's done extensive remodeling to accomplish the in wall installation and to...

    No, don't mind at all, I bought him online, when I do that I deal with the California dealers, it's been a while, but I'm pretty sure it was from liveaquaria, they sell for around $150.00 + shipping, I've never seen one at any of the LFS's, odds are it wouldn't survive in a store tank, here's a...

    Thanks guys, as far as the camera goes, I've had a Nikon D40 for months and I use it like a point and shoot, I do have to figure it out....

    I've been trying to get a decent shot of him for weeks Scooty, the little bugger really cruises when he is in the open, he won't hold still. I'll study my camera manual and see how to manually set the shutter speed instead of using auto, hope I can do better, probably will have depth of field...

    The golden is just over two inches. I've had him 9 months, I think he is one of the smaller centropyges. All the pundits say their main diet is sponges, so I quarantined him in a well established 40 with lots of live rock. I didn't see him for two weeks. knew he was dead, cuz they always say...

    Entering the next phase as my system progresses. Up to now I have been married to the idea that I would use a winch and cable system to raise and lower my hood, just seemed like the logical thing to do. Fortuneatly, Jason has steered me away from that, it turns out that winches, hoists, etcetera...

    Congrats Eric, you won't be disappointed, with Eric and Jason you've got the two best tank guys around putting this together for you. Mark won't be needing to slap on any acrylic patches where the top is coming apart on this one. When I was down helping you redo your ill fated tank, you...

    Yeah, I should have mentioned that it is an inch or less deep, just enough to cover the bottom and not see the acrylic underneath it......

    Hi Scooty, I bought it from someone who had a home based frag farming operation, he was shutting it down and selling off everything at fire sale prices, I think he told me he bought it online, I've never seen this at any LFS, but I imagine a few carry it or could get it. I don't remember the...
