Word. Your right. The only thing that happens fast in this hobby is BAD. :-)

Back from Maui
 

Just got back from Maui after 2 weeks, and tank and inhabitants all looking good. Parameters all near perfect, with dKh at 8, Ca at 400, and P04 and N03 both at zero. Did not feed the fish for the 2 weeks, yet they all look good and healthy. They are eating vigorously today, though. Corals all good. Glass needed a good cleaning and skimmer was pretty dirty, as expected.

Here are a few pics from today.

And my frags aren't getting any smaller. Really need to unload more of these orange digis.

And a couple pics from Maui snorkeling, right outside our hotel condo.

Looks great, very nice colouration

Did you have a flash when taking pics of the reef when snorkeling?
All my videos seem to have a lot less colour

Thanks, I have an Olympus TG-2 and is great for underwater pics.
Did not use flash. My TG-2 has several underwater settings for different exposure and shutter speeds, as well as for white balance which gives you correct color for under water. I had it on telescoping stick so was easy to use while snorkeling. The TG-3 is out now, and has wi-fi, so even better.

I did some vids as well, but haven't gone thru and edited them yet.

Update
 

Doing a little reno on this side of the tank. Still need to cut back more my pink lemonade and red planet colonies.

Never ends...
 

Just some rock encrusting left where my big pink lemonade colony used to be. But it did allow me to place some new frags.

Now I have a couple more space challenges to solve <sigh>...

Green bali acro getting crowded out. Looks like more pruning..., but where do I put it?...

And my pink milli is getting eaten by my sunset monti. Will have to frag and move it somewhere,... but again, not sure where.

Not sure why, but my photobucket pics above got deleted, so am reposting...
