Tried for a top down. The distance made the focus tough and I didn’t kill the flow, but you get the idea.

Looks like its getting ready to split bubba. It does that and the split follows.

Ha! You have been telling me it is going to split since you gave it to me at Thanksgiving. Some day when I least expect it probably will.

Thanks bud. The holy grail of reefing to me, has been marginally achieved. Completely mixed reef with all species co-existing and showing steady growth. The confidence i will have moving on to the next build out west will be welcomed after the Learning Curve is wrapped up for good.

Who are we kidding here, youre going to break it down and try moving it across country. Think of it as just another reefing challenge!

Don't worry, I'll hold your beer

For the first time since dosing kalk i had a 40ppm ca and 1.2 dkh drop in a week. Increased my kalkwasser mixture up 50% to 1.5tbsp/20g. Going to bump the 4 part ABCD Colors to 7mL /week from the current 5.4mL /week to compensate..

Still dosing on the low side blindly. And doing Monthly 10% wc's to ensure stabilitt in the traces until i get new test results in from Triton. Saw that @Raege is awaiting @Fauna Marin 's results currently. Might give them a try to get a 2nd comparo on trace consumption.

Besides that all is well. Flying out to Denver wednesday at 7am to begin the scouting strategy prior to making the move. We are staying at a time share in Winter Park and have the 3 days fully planned. Can barely sleep waiting for tomorrow night. 7am flight out of Boston. 4hrs nonstop. Stoaked.

Safe trip Rich. I hope you and Kali find the perfect area to start your new lives together.

Thanks bud. Weather forecast looks good so far. Got a few fun things planned out. But 2 days of recon, 1 day in the peaks.

Ha.. worst part of trips is unpacking and getting the house back together...

Here's a few...

Was a dream come true. Since i was little. Had an amazing time. Timelapses will come soon of the drive through the mountain passes etc...

Sadly, the panorama 360° shots are too large for r2r uploads. Unless im doing it wrong... :shrugs:

Beautiful pictures Rich, i just love America and need to get back out there when I can for some more RV adventures, I’ve toured all over the place.

If you get chance go up Pikes Peak on the little train. Its so high up you get oxygen deprivation, it’s over 14000ft high. I was wondering why do I feel a little lethargic, I thought it was the beer from the previous night! Lol. It’s also cold up there because of the height and I went in summer.
