I love hearing about water change stations coming together...that is my most hated job in reefing and my new tank will work just like you described above.

Thought I'd throw up some recent pics.

Weird how every time I pull out my camera the fish scatter. 90% of the time I turn the flash off but they seem to know the camera when they see it.

Took a couple video's of my latest addition to my 20 gal cube and my main DT. Hope you all enjoy. If anyone knows what might be wrong with my clam in the main DT video, I'd love to hear what it might be. It was a rescue from a friends tank and I've no idea about clams or what to do about it.

Finally finished my DIY LED light. The OCW's I put on there have optics and I can see red's on the sand bed. But then again my light is just sitting on some eggcrate I have over the tank. I'm hoping when I get the mount built for it 12" over the tank that'll go away. I guess time will tell. Sorry about the crappy video but my cell is the only digital movie camera I have. The colours look way better in person.

I was bored yesterday so took a few pics of some corals in my 77 DT and my 20 gal cube.

I've certainly noticed growth rates pick up since adding my calcium reactor a month or 2 ago. Way steadier Ca and dkh levels. Anyway, let me know what ya think...





Is it possible for Mandy's to be too fat?

Glad to know the CA reactor setup works out well.
