I agree the progress looks good....didnt you go through an "operation xenia removal" a while back???? maybe you should try the vinegar on that little patch that has cropped up:razz:

It comes back every four or so months, and I usually inject it with something to kill it off. Its the only remaining patch, and for the longest time it looked like there was nothing there until about a week ago.

Bleh, Digital Aquatics tells me that the RKE NET module doesn't work with any email that requires SSL. So no gmail, no ISP provided email, no university email, nothing. I guess I won't be using the notification feature on the NET module until I can find an email provider that doesn't require SSL.

Updated iReef shots from this afternoon. One of my jobs this week is to re-calibrate all the probes associated with the RKE.

Its from my iPhone. I love being able to check up on the tank throughout my workday. It just gives you that extra peace of mind. I'm hoping in the new year to install a tank-cam.

Mounted another cap on the glass. I'm hoping it will thrive here and free up some much needed space on the rockwork.

We ordered an ozonizer for Tibet, our big tank, it arrived yesterday and we immediately put it into use on the 180g.

Our skimmer pumps on our Octopus have both crapped out. One is done for good and the other is limping along. The loss of the one pump is significant and has slowed skimmate production.

We are going to run our new skimmer for the big tank on the 180g until we move everything to Tibet. While I can semi-justify the purchase of replacement pumps, I just don't see the need when we have a perfectly good backup skimmer sitting around.

A few corals still aren't recovering well from the bad carbon incident. I still have a few that have bleached or have burnt type tips. I'm hoping with some extra vigilance things will be back to normal soon.

I'm still battling majanos daily and am somewhat at the point where I'm thinking I'll just remove the display rock and cook it. This is a battle that I'm tired of fighting. At least none of the sump rock has any.

Trials and tribulations eh?

How much and when would they be available?

They're available now and I'd say $20 each, or if you take them all I'll cut you a deal.
