you just have to convince them that they are having fun.. In that sense it's kinda like running sprintervals. You really have to convince yourself that you're having fun, even though you feel like throwing up your lungs.

I'm easily tricked, I think I love these, especially on hills. Which of course put me in my current state, but it was still fun -lol

I would never say that to your face. Only behind your back to Brett and Ray.

Full tank wipe out? Wow cant believe it, that was one of the nicest tanks I've ever seen. Did the watermelon chalice make it through?

That's a negative. The only corals that are left are, a red goniopora (these things love turbid water, apparently LOL), GSP (these things are NUKE proof), a patch of purple death palys, Red Mushrooms, Blue/Purple mushrooms and a yellow gorgonia. Needless to say I have some real estate now

There is a lot of nice new equipment on the market that I'd like to look into. I definitely want to start collecting more corals again. I do feel like I'm sorta starting from scratch and have vowed to make this tank awesome again.

So far I have spent a couple of weeks just rehabilitating the tank. I cleaned the glass. It took two kent scrapers LOL. Vaccuumed out the sump, cleaned all equipment, brushed off the live rock (man those were nasty). Tonight I have a date with a fish net (no, not my wife), and my three year old sand bed that I plan to scoop out and replace with new sand. I've also been making up RO water all week to do a 50% water change this weekend. Ya, look at me go, I'm on a mission!!

It's like having a clean canvas, ready for new paint.

Crappy iPhone pictures..
