Looking forward to seeing the updated pics!

Had to laugh when we read your update on the clowns hosting your frogspawn. We have a pair of Ocellaris clowns that we tried to lure into an RBTA, but they refused to give up their paly colony, LOL!

reef update from about 2 months ago Just before hurricane sandy hit Ohio. After the hurricane came through Ohio, I did not have power for 7 days. My whole tank was transferred to my friends 220 gallon for about 3 weeks. I have finally got everything stable and was able to salvage most of my coral and all my fish. I will have an updated video here soon.

Very cool cinematography and your tank looked exceptionally healthy before Sandy hit. Sorry to hear about that. Best of luck getting everything back on track.

just a little update. The white balance was tough to nail down so it looks alot bluer than it actually is.
