I thought you would have know, as they include some of your favorite things, chocolate, oil and a vaccum. LOL.

aerated choclate, is simply a home made aero bar, but way better as you can use high quality chocolate, and instead of this thin little bar of it you can make a brick size piece, which is insane to bite into.

in my tests, milk chocolate doubled in size compared to :

60% dark chocolate
72% dark chocolate

whats up all ? hope all is well with everyone.

did some work on the tank tonight and took a few pics, some top downs, water change, and a few full tank shots.

Still no new additions, although I am off tomorrow and will probably hit the shops to see if there is anything new.

anyways, Pic time

Thanks Tony.

I used the zeolites, for frag plugs a few times, and used them to seed the Teatro tank. other than that they go to the trash.

I did hear about a guy down in the states that used them for a pathway in a garden. Kinda cool idea.

Hey John,

The new tank is looking great! I'd love to stop by and see it one day. I haven't logged on to Canreef for quite a while, I'm really busy with my new business. I've always admired your results so I happy that my first post in several months is a comment about your awesome tank
