Even the half dead colony Herbie gave me has colored up green. ...and here comes hurricane Sandy to screw everything up!

More color improvement. I went away for a week and came back to a lot of growth on the Miami Orchid colony and the indestructible tricolors. Plus, my seemingly unkillable M. Undata has turned purple again and is showing polyp extension. Man, I was just waiting for that thing to die, but no. The...

Incredibly, I am gradually getting what I wanted -- my tank is returning to that "new tank look," bare rocks. One of the urchins died, I think I better start putting some nori in there for them. Remaining urchins are scrubbing the rock, it looks good. There is a small amount of green algae...

Wow is there anything sadder than a naked hermit crab running around the tank? I looked in my nano and there was one sorry SOB of a hermit crab, lost his big claw and no shell. I think the tiger pistol ZAPPED him, he was like a crazy naked insane person running back and forth. I ran to my little...

Speaking as someone who used to do trade shows, don't expect a NYC or Chicago MACNA anytime soon! We used to have to keep a fat bankroll just to grease the Teamsters! God Bless 'em! I almost think that once you see what's involved, all aspects, your club would not want to do it again. Where...

My standards must be somewhat lower than yours. I thought the reception was fun, with the casino games, though I agree about the so-called "buffet," I had to get food afterwards, people were tackling those servers and the food was not great. I mugged some weak-looking guys for their drink...

Ha ha ha. D'Oh!!

Saw Darren (dnov) from the club, Hi Darren! Saturday included some really good presentations. In the morning there was a good thing about acro eating flatworms and where they come from. Marc and Scott Fellman did a funny workshop on aquascaping. Sanjay's annual lighting extravaganza was very...

Sorry guys, no camera! Hit up reefaddicts.com, I'm sure melev has a bunch of pics up already.

I think I found out what the brown dusty crap in my tank was. The g*ddamn biopellet reactor makes it!! The drain from a biopellet reactor MUST terminate by the skimmer intake. so that crap can be skimmed out. How did I miss that???

Very nice show floor, good facility. Not as big as ours and the raffle is poorer. Saw a Julian Sprung presentation on plants in the aquarium, mostly true plants like seagrasses, he kind of droned on and put me to sleep. Marc Levinson did a good presentation about sumps and general plumbing...

Ryan I'll take the Brute can, I need another one and I can roll it up the street.

Its getting installed with the new sump.

Still getting better. Happy to see that a 3/4" tip of Oregon Tort survived the hair algae onslaught. I'll have to baby that one. I think that cutting nutrients to the quick stopped hair algae growth, and the hydrogen peroxide breaks its back, so it's a one-two punch. There is still a weird "mat...

Thanks Herbie for once again welcoming us into your handsome home. Your tank is still incredible! It gives me hope for the future.

Congratulations!!!

Thanks all!

Anyone Else Going to DFW MACNA? I have to be in Dallas that week for work anyway ;) so I'm going to stick around and go.

Looking for a good reference for a bathroom remodeler preferably in North Jersey. Anyone have somebody they used and liked?

I have that generator and I have no complaints. It starts very easily and ran like a champ through last year's hurricane and blizzard incidents. I am embarrassed to say I have tested the low-oil shutoff and it works.
