    Oh and on a side note I served a soldier at my restuarant the other day reminded me of you. He was a great guy, super nice, had a crazy story as to why he moved to Vegas, and his wife seemed to cringe everytime he talked about his time in Afghanistan. His Humvee got blown up by an IED he just remembers shrapnel flying by his head then waking up on the ground headset all static in his hears, That ****s crazy! It's always good talking to people that have served!

    Yea that's what happens when you go on your vacations. Nothing has changed pretty much. I am using my old sump as a fuge/live rock bin and had a new sump made. So the main tank is still 96"L x 48"W x 24"H for a total of 480 gallons, the old sump is 45"l x 36"W x 24"H for a total of 165 gallons, and the new sump is 48"L x 28"W x 18"H for a total of 105 Gallons for a total of 750 gallons.

    Yes I am feeling better for now. I just hate the swings that I have to go through when its time for my shots because I am pretty unbearable for 2-3 weeks and then add another week for the meds to kick in. Reefing has saved my life and I owe it to myself to pay them back.

    That is so true. Most soldiers that go through the trauma don't realize that the more they talk about it the better their life gets. It may not work for every soldier but it does work. Trust me I know. The more I held it in the more the nightmares and flashbacks come back. Thanks for talking to him and aiding in his recovery. I plan on being up your way next year so I will let you know when the time comes so we can hook up and do some reefing.

    Here is a pic of the sump the maker is making for me. This is the smaller version.
