On May 15th I went to a reefers meeting, something not very common in this city (Sao Paulo), where despite a population of about 18 million people, lots of reefers, and our typical Brazilian informal and friendly way of relating, there are no reef clubs and most reefers don't get together often. Go figure... must be a product of how traffic sucks big time in this city and you think twice before setting an appointment.... Anyway, Sao Paulo blues aside, the encounter was great and I ...
You might recall that on Feb 13th I caught my Mithrax crabs eating my Green Star Polyps. Well, in May I noticed my Zoa seemed to be missing some polyps... but I wasn't sure, so I started to take pictures. It didn't take much to confirm.... on May 10th I noticed though the pictures that a few polyps were really missing.... and coincidently I found one polyp loose on the substrate. Must have been a polyp the crab cut loose but wasn't able to hold. So, I decided to take ...
It has been quite a while since I last posted, mostly because I used the little free time I had available to move forward my DIY LED fixture + controller, plus take care of the tank itself.

Given that blogs are best done in chronological order, I'll make several update posts, one per day when something happened.... as if I had posted them on the original date. Bear with me as ...
Hi guys. I flew into Little Rock to speak to the club on Saturday. The first presentation was Reef Photography, where I talked about the basics about what needs to be considered.

It was hot & humid here, you'd think it was Texas. Btw, last week I injured myself ...
Doesn't it seem like every time you finally have the money saved up to upgrade to new equipment or buy supplies for the tank, that something pressing comes up that you have to spend the money on instead?? I posted a couple weeks ago about a new 125 I was setting up. Things haven't been going that well with the set up. I am trying to take time to make sure I get everything done the right way first time, but also I am trying to get money together to buy a good protein skimmer, a few media reactors, ...
