    Thank you so very much Cheryl, it's coming along.

    Thank you as well. I am truely humbled by remarks like these.

    I'm very happy that I've done this much, on such a shoestring budget that I have.
    Again, thank you for the kind words, it goes a long way with me.

    And I just took a gallon of it away earlier this week. You couldn't even tell the difference! It's so massive!

    Yes! Yes! THIS, I feel with a few other minor things- is a big part of the key to my semi- success.
    I want it to get even larger/bigger!

    I now have my older set of Taotronics LED's over the rack portion of my sump, next to the chaeto area.
    I also have another LED like this not being used atm. I contemplated putting over my chaeto- but then I said to myself 'Who am I kidding?" Why would a change out what I'm doing now? I get huge chaeto growth with my cheapy aluminum clamp on bulb reflectors and 100W CFL bulbs in each- I"m probably going to add a third reflector/bulb combination to it.

    Todays upgrade:

    Finally made a eggcrate strainer for my RP intake.

    Now If/when I need to put a fish in that section, it's protected by wander too close to the big pipe and getting sucked in
