Cool, a meeting in Little Silver, all of 2 minutes from my little town of Fair Haven. Yea, I still check up on you guys every once in a while. No, I still haven't restarted the hobby yet. I miss that noisy box of water in my living room.
I still think about getting back in, maybe seeing reef...
Well I agree, a thread is worthless without pics. You'll have to give me a break for now though, no methods of posting pics at the moment.
No I will not have any underwater pics, I did buy some pics from a group that I went out with, I'll try to post those up.
I'll give a full rundown later...
Hey everyone, been a while. Yea, I'm down in Grand Cayman. Makes me think of long lost days of Reef Tanks. No I'm not diving, but spending hours and hours snorkeling. Been to about 6 different highly rated sites. Played with the Stingrays, I've seen Montipora Elkhorn that is so big...one colony...
Do a little reading on the Dolphin Ampmaster 3000, Dead quiet, great recirculating pump. Very low advertised voltage.
I can give you a great deal on a used one if interested.
I did a water change this weekend - Took out the RotoZip and opened up the slots for the overflow (should have done that 3 years ago) water level dropped by about a 1/4 inch solving a lot of problems. I made up a new batch of Alk and Calcium, then I swapped out the 14k's for the used 10k's...
Well thanks guys...You know, this could be tougher than I imagined. I've got people pm'ing me to take my Clown Fish. I look over at her, happy as can be, she has controlled the same section of the tank for about 5 years now. I moved her from one tank to my bigger Oceanic, she grabbed her same...
Thanks Everyone - Yes I have considered keeping a smaller tank running, but the responsibility is still the same. You have to maintain it with the same degree of obsession that keeps the current tank running.
I'm going to clean the tank, and take a bunch of new photos.
I'm going to try and...
:( A difficult post to make, I've been thinking a lot over the last couple months. Done a few things to try and stir my interests. I think I'm just coming to the end of the line with this obsession.
I still have a perfectly running SPS tank, it couldn't be any easier to run it. Seems like the...
Rev, no I never stored it before, shouldnt be a problem other than the fact that I thought it smelled like the Ocean. Sometimes worse than other times. I store 55 gallons of water in my house, and it's clean ro/di water with IO salt added. The difference is, things can and will probably be...
Brian, I'm going to try and make it up there Saturday. I've got no Zoos to offer, my Angel eats them for lunch, but I do have lots of other things. Let me know if there is anything I can bring you.

I think the only reason I wouldnt do it, is the constant on/off of the pump. My Dolphin pump runs for months at a time without ever being shut off. Not that it would break if I did, but you never know, I'm just superstitious that way.
I lot of the multicontrollers have feeding cycles and sleep...
Amazing Theme you've got going there. Montis' are some of the best when you can find some good samples.
Trop is usually good at getting in some hidden gems if you can spot them.
I do have one monti that I dont think you have, it's an encrusting Green, has been called Monti Efflourescense in...
