We switched my snows out last weekend and plastidipped my summer wheels! Love it!

I like the idea of the flashing light on the ato, if you have time, post how you get that set up, I could use it as well.

I hardly ever see my fire shrimp, he hides behind the rocks, occassionally catch a glimpse of him when I feed the fish. Don't give up on him yet!

Sounds like the rest of the tank is doing ok, sans the algae...
Sorry guys, it's not like me to ignore responses
Busy, busy, busy
Thanks for the empathy, and for following along

I just finally finished my WC. Stupid smartphone, stupid house phone, stupid e-mail, yada yada yada
Plus I received a shipment today from Reefwater. These guys should become a SPONSOR
Nice and fast shipping. Brain-dead customer ...
I have to place another order as I needed 2 and assumed set meant '2', but it appears in this case it's just one ...
They sell them in singles, but I obviously missed the part in the cart about needing 2

OK, the exciting WC
I siphoned off the top layer of sand, washed it, and replaced it
I've been doing this about every month, or 6 weeks. I haven't kept track, but will now
It seems to work well enough while I'm going through the re-balancing of my tank - no ill effects to be noted
Whatever it is, and I don't care right now, but it looks like diatoms and a lighter green than cyano
Buh-bye ugly green/brown top layer, hello nice clean sand

Oooo look, a pic
It's not the best, but for now, it's a pic

Thanks man

Here's some pics, but this is all you get
I am too busy with my 4th Class Power Engineering Studying to keep my build thread updated ...

My camera is crappy

Rich, from here on in, I don't care what you ask for, I am too busy to post

Some pics and this is all you get, for probably the next 6 or 8 months

OK, I may have mentioned I don't have time for posting lots of pics right now, but I was sooo tired this morning that it took me 3 coffees just to get going
So I sorted my pics
I uploaded over 20 pics to P-bucket and they went to the wrong folder

You may have seen some of these before but here they are anyway
I'm off to fix some cars

Thanks Wayne
It's been a long road for the SPS recovery

I cut the lighting in half to help with the healing and started feeding very heavily
Lately there has been some good signs of improvement, so I started bumping the lights a bit

Then I went on a coral-purchasing binge 'cause I had a couple hours today ....

We'll see how things go ..
Pics to come later
