It's still on as far as I know. I'm definitely coming.

You or anyone else over there going to need a ride?

Don't know yet. I don't know who's coming from here yet. If my wife decides on coming she'll most certainly want to do some shopping, so I'll have to bring the car.

Will let you know closer to swap time. Thanks for the offer.

If you're looking for a single doser with a slower drip rate I recommend the Accudoser II Reef Doser from Oceanic Corals. I've had it running for a couple of weeks now and I'm very happy with it. At 1.5 ml per minute it takes 2 hours to drip the 180 ml of alk my tank requires. And at only $80 it doesn't break the bank.
I tested it with water three times and got exactly the same volume per 2 hours running time. Filll a 1/2 gal container with BRS soda ash, program the doser through the controller and I'm good to go for 10 days before refilling.

Some fish pics and one weird snail

There is no hair algae in this tank except for this thatch growing on the back of a large Turbo snail. "Hey Buddy! You're supposed to eat it not wear it."


This guy is a beautiful fish but what a dink! He hogs most of the food, spits sand over everything, splashes water all over and loves to harrass smaller fishes. He may end up in Dave's huge FOWLR one of these days.


Sydney the Aussie Tuskfish


CBB


Poon the Tang


Chromis


Can you find the Fire Clowns?


Bannerfish


Hawkfish


Lamarck's Angel


Toro the LM Blenny


Michael J. Foxface


Bubba Gump


Kole Tang

Nice pics, everything looks healthy Except for that snail! Nobody in the tank eats it off the turbo? Wierd

And some more:

Chocolate Tang and Toby the Goby peeking out of his barnacle


More clowns. You can just see the tail of the wifey ahead of him. I just can't seem to get these two in the same pic.


ClamFish


PJ Cardinalfish (Crappy pic! Easiest fish to photograph and I come up with this lame shot)



Only two fish I didn't get. Ruby Headed Wrasse and Coral Beauty Angel. They are both very camera shy and won't co-operate, but I'll get them next time.

No. Weird eh? The LM Blenny scarfs back HA but won't touch it from the snail.
