The PPE sale is still on, I just just been so busy with the new project, I will have pictures of the frags, price, and details soon! I also added quite a few new pictures to the pictures page.
4-4-2005: Well it has been a while since an update, so I thought I'd lay down the latest news. The 5.5 is basically retired. Most of the livestock has been brought home to the Family 120 gallon and Mike's 20L for temporary safekeeping. The 5.5 will be replaced soon with my newest project. Think bigger, better, overkill, but still portable :) More details to come. Keep your eye's peeled for a PPE sale soon, fixed price first-come-first-served Also added a few LPS pictures in the pictures page.
1-12-2005: Added a new full tank shot to my 5.5 gallon timeline here. All my SPS have been moved to Mike's tank until I get my new project running. Also added a few zoanthid pictures in the pictures page.
1-10-2005: Lots of new updates! Check out the new featured reefs page. I added full tank shots from the family reef and Mike's reef. Also a few new livestock pictures throughout the pictures section.
11-5-2004: I took the monthly tank shot a bit earily this month because the tank is doing better than ever! In the past I was using a 2-part solution to maintain calcium and alkalinity. I was tired of dosing every morning so I decided to get a custom kalk reactor. It has been running for about 2 weeks now and the change in the tank was amazing. I couldn't beleve my eyes. Polyps are out far on my SPS, even the zoos are open wider and bigger. You can check out the full tank shot for the month here. I also added a some new pictures, some red center zoanthids, yellow/black 'bumble bee' zoanthids, a feather duster, and blue leg hermit.
10-13-2004: There is a new full tank shot for the month that you can see here. You can see I added some new rock and you can see the newest eddition, a Rainfordi Goby! He loves to snack on pods that I catch from the refuge, along with others he finds on his own. You can see a picture of him on the reef pictures page under the miscellaneous section.
10-9-2004: Check out the new pictures page. No new pictures at the moment, but expect some new ones soon. I cleared out some of the older shots to make room for new.
9-19-2004: I got some sand back in the tank, I don't like the way it looked without. I snapped a shot of the tank today, you can see it here. I have some plans for some new rock behind the main rock in the right corner of the tank for SPS and a new rock for the left side for zoos. I added a few new shots to the bottom of the photography page as well, you can see those here.
8-16-2004: I added a new full tank shot again taken before the move back to school. The move went successfully and the tank is doing well. I am going without sand for now because the current blows the fine grained sand too much. You can see the shot from before the move here.
8-2-2004: A few new shots have been added to the reef photography page here.
7-27-2004: I added a new full tank shot of the 5.5 here.
