    Been a while since my last update. Had a bad week. Broke my right hand and the pinky on my left. Fortunately no surgery will be needed.

    There was tank maint. that needed to be done and with my wife's help it went very well. Again I was reminded how lucky I am to have such a wonderful woman in my life. She did all the work as I cannot get either hand wet right now. She changed out the socks, cleaned the skimmer and did the water change for me. I was able to clean the glass.

    So far tank is doing well and I will have my son help with the water tests tonight.

    Thanks for looking.

    I'm sorry. It is in another thread. Long story short pushing down on a breaker bar a bolt broke and I sucessfully "punched" the cement.

    So far the hands are doing well. Have great benny's at work so I am on short term disability for the next 6 weeks at 100% pay. Got real lucky there. No more pain in either hand and the neighbor I was helping out when I got hurt has taken care of all the deducts and co-pays.

    Tank is hanging in there. My wife is doing a great job. Last night she did a 25 gallon water change and swapped out the filter socks and emptied the skimmer. She also helped to glue the new corals in place. I will try to get some pics up soon.

    Thanks for looking,

    Thanks for asking. Hands doing as well as can be expected. Go to the Dr. Friday to see for sure.

    The tank is in a basic maintain mode until I get the splint off. Just water changes and so forth. Everything in the tank is doing very well. Tried to take some pics but cannot get good ones with my current situation. I suppose I could get the tri pod out but it is still difficult. I will try again soon
