Haven't had much time lately to post an update on things , keep meaning to , but never get around to it.

Still checking things out on the boards though , so I felt a little guilty and made some time to update things.

Tank has almost been on auto pilot since I started on the dosing system and got rid of my reactor, I must say I can't believe I haven't got around to this earlier . All parameters seem to be staying rock solid over the past 5 months or so , and when I need to boost it up for growth using the Profilux doser is so easy , takes 2 secs to up the dosage by a few Ml. and double check it in a week or so and I'm good to go. Only real issue I've had lately is freaking aptaisia growth , ( still on the lookout for a helthy Copperband to add into the mix )

Also looking for reviews on the new line of Deltec Skimmers , I've had my Deltec 902 for 5 years or so and it has been awsome for me , but I'm starting to look around for something new as it's almost time to replace pumps and such on it so I figured I would see how people are liking the new models , and decide from there.

Here's a couple of vids I tried with my new Cannon 7d . Please bear with me on the quality as it's definetly going to take a bit to perfect it.

Man the combo of lots of fish and those stags is just awesome!! The tank looks just great, I wish I had gone with a more inspired look for my aquascaping, rather than the "two piles" look.

Incredible looking colonies and really enjoy how you've laid them out as well. Are your fish ever snapping branches off? Some of those look so long and must be delicate!

Thanks Brett. As much as I would like to blame my fish for accidental frags, it's usually me and not them.
