    Update 09-11-2011

    To anyone who reads this poast that was affected by 911, I give you all my best regards and may god bless you........I have been working on another project to go with this new setup. It is a de-nitrator coil. From all that I have read these devises realy do work and considering my nitrates are always up and down in my 29gal I figured why not. I plan to hook it up to the 29 gal for a while to start the curring process since it'll be 10 weeks or so till I am able to get this setup running. I almost have it completed just waiting on a few parts in the mail (thanks POP).;) So here is a few pics of what it looks like and where it is going in the new cabnet.

    Update 01-20-2012

    WOW! Three months to the day since I was on last and I cant beleive how things have changed in my tank. By now I have pretty much finished everything exsept a few little projects that I still want to put some thought into. For the most part though my sistem is running ok... So I took a bunch of pictures today to show off what is going on in the main tank and tomarrow I will cleen up the sump a little and poast some pics and discuss it a little. Ok so the first two pictures will be what the tanked looked like 3 months ago when I first fired it up compared to what it looks like today. Hope you all enjoy.

    My wife for the first time in 2 years of trying to keep a reef system got involved and did my rock work for me 2 days ago and I love what she has done with it! The picture realy doesn't do it justice.

    The rest of the pictures are going to show all the coral frags and live stock that I have accumulated.

    Well thats all I have for now and I know it's a lot to take in at one time, but I am trying to catch up. I know some of the frags look crappy and some are just closed, but that is from the stress. Not all the frags are where I want them. I figured I would wait a few weeks to let them reaclimate bofore I start moving them around again.

    Ok I got to go, but I'll poast more pics tomarrow of the sump and talk about the few projects I am still working on.
