  1. Is this Coral Dead??

    I hate to ask this but i was looking at the coral tonight and began to wonder if it was still alive. Coral was bought is early June and was identified as a Green Lobo, I looked at them and I am not real sure thats what it was. I have not seen any green around the edges in a few weeks. Is there anyway I can tell for sure if it is still alive?

  2. Day 300: Ten months old

    I've been swamped lately and haven't had much time to spend online with y'all. However, I had to take a picture when my tank turned 300 days old though.



    On December 6th, the reef reached 10 months old. Over all, it is doing quite well. I watch for warning signs of problems and try to anticipate potential surprises.

  5. New addition

    Picked up an APEX a little while ago and been having a grand old time playing and getting it setting set up and configured. Last night I finally got my ATO up and running. I am pretty nervous about the ATO and a possible flood. I have lots of alarms set up and so far everything is working great. Also been working on getting a webcam up and running on the tank, but have a few issues. Major one is where to mount the cam, right now it has to sit so close to the tank I dont get to see much.
