Just finished my vacation checklist for 8 nights away. Always nerve wracking thinking about everything that could go wrong while you're not around.

Back from vacation and everything worked as expected, including my ATO "jumper" tank I rigged up. A great way to add some extra gallons with nothing more than some extra water tube.

While I was fixing a few things that got knocked over my snails, I finished planting the rows of BC Space Ghost and Sniper's Blue. I can't wait for it to grow in!

You'd never know these fish are supposed to be shy. They're out constantly now. :)

We had some bad storms last night and lost power at 3AM.

Being able to roll over and fall back asleep because my batteries have a few days of juice was worth every penny.

Tried to take a time lapse of my plate coral eating, but my blackcap had other plans...

Love the black caps! I recently added a pair to my reef and have been surprised by their outgoing attitudes. I see them all the time!
This tank certainly was a journey. Love the look you've chosen and I can't wait to see how you acro wall thing pans out! You can't beat the look of one giant colony.

Uh oh, am I about to have 3 males?

A few tank shots. Haven't been able to keep things as stable as I'd like (phosphates have been bouncing), but it's still looking nice.

Had to do some trimming to keep the BC Spainbow from taking over the Pink Cadillac's row. Now what to do with 12 frags?

Can you believe I've received zero interest in my local forums at $20 a frag, 3 for $50? Might have to just go trade them in to a LFS or something.
That does seem crazy. I’d be all over a deal like that if I was in a position to take them. I’d even pay you to ship them but my new tank isn’t even wet yet, let alone ready for sticks. At least you can get some credit at the LFS. I’m about to do the same thing with Zoa and LPS frags and as many of my RBTA clones as I can get them to take. Never again with the nems.

How are those Angels doing? I would love a mated pair in the new tank eventually but it’s probably not quite big enough.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
