Thanks. I still have some cleaning to do in the fishroom and then I'll show a *** (Full Fishromm Shot) ;) I'm also loving the more simplistic plumbing ... keeping it simple is such a good idea!
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying the podcasts and feel free to provide any feedback you may have!

Little update while I'm on vacation and have a few moments to spare before beach time.
The Marginalis had decided after a week of picking at my rocks in the display that my acan collection was delicious. I quickly removed all the acans from the display and within an hour it was picking around the new clams shell. It then ate prepared food and lights out. The next day it was going full bore on the clam, so the fish was netted out and placed in my 45G cube until I decided what to do with it. I "persuaded" Gary to give it a try in his NPS tank since he really likes butterfly fish, so that is where it went last night. Hopefully it adapts quickly to another tank and enjoys the flood of food it will get!
I also was quite worried about 2 of the new potters wrasses. The large male pictured above was out right away, but the 2 small females remained hidden for well over a week and I was worried that they were goners. Luckily both appeard within a day of each other and they now are out daily and great eaters!

Beyond that door is my fishroom ... now I just need to pick up a bit, sweep and mop the floors before I show it to you all.
I could also finish up my waterchange with the garden hose running from it to my sump pit ... or scrape the glass of my tank ;) Decisions, decisions!

Gary Parr and I do weekly podcast on reefing topics mostly based on current threads from various reefing sites along with a noteworthy tank. We just recorded Podcast #40 today. You can find us at www.reefthreads.com

Or just possibly you could give it to us in the raw (dirty) then clean haha it's not like that isn't truly the real side of reefing haha it'd be a good before and after

Got a nice mention today in an article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal in their write-up about LiveAquaria. Be sure to check out the photo gallery on the link as there are 12 photos from the coral farm there.
