Time to go look at the Tank.

This Tank was recently set up. There was a foam wall, a protein skimmer behind wall(under the stairway). That was just a few of Rick's custom touches. This one will be overgrown with corals in no time with this experience Reefer.

You got a good topic, food and drinks, saw the tank, now what do you do?

You sit down relax and talk about life and reef stuff around the fire.
The last time I sat down around fire at reef club meeting was a send off to a Club Member. John Goldenberg we miss ya Buddy!
