A few changes since my last update. I now have a second chalk bass to pair up with my origional chalk bass. Chalk bass are simultaneous hermaphrodites so if you add two, you have a pair. After about a day the first bass accepted the new one and everything has been fine since. It was fairly small when I added it so I dont think it is ready to spawn yet, but I keep watching and waiting for them to start spawning rituals. Other then that I also added a bicolor blenny seeing as ever tank needs a blenny....

I was able to attend NERAC-V this Saturday, it was a great conference and I was able to walk away with lots of great information and a new chiller! Thankfully my wife is very understanding as we just had our first girl (Piper) two weeks ago.

The day started with my brother and I leaving at 7:30 to arrive at Atlantis Marine World by 8:30. We walked around for a little while and I took a few shots. My favorite picture of the ~3,000g "Best Friends" tank is at the bottom. 9:30...

My wife and I got a new digital camera for each other for christmas. It is a Panasonic Lumix FZ35, it shoots in RAW so it opens the ability to really fix the white ballance after the shot is taken, a great feature for reef pictures. It comes with some nice software to work with. Here are a few of the new shots and the link to the album, some are better than others.

Green Slimer...

It has been a very long time since I made an update, but here it is. I have been battleing some cyano in a few areas, but after a few large water changes and some flow changes I may be over that hump. I also am in a battle with red flatworms. I picked up a yellow wrasse (Halichoeres leucoxanthus) and it has started picking them off the rocks already. I am fine with having a few of them, but they can reach plague proportions, so the wrasse with help with that.

I was on vacation for the last week and my brother was watching the tank for me. Thankfully everything looks good and I finally have some pictures to share. Hope people like the aquascaping and the few corals that are in there. Next weekend there is a big frag swap at Atlantis Marine World (Riverhead, NY) hosted by the aquarium and the local reef club (LIRA). I will be picking up a few things while I am there. Anyways, here are the pics. Colors didn't come out great, but I dont like enhancing, so...
