    Thanks Mindy, no, there is a 'Todd', that works for Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee, and it's his recipe made at the Lakefront brewery.
    It's 12% ABV! It was a Belgium Quadruple. I had to take a pic with a label like that though.
    'The Todd' - that's me

    Some new pics,
    This one maybe not so interesting to many of you, I like the fact that now my algae grows primarily here, than other areas of my system

    A Toadstool Jim Crahan gave me for helping him with a blue clove problem a few weeks ago
    I had never seen such long feeder extensions before.
    It goes from a flat mushroom shape, to extending these at lwzst 5cm!

    My skimmer pump/skimmer has been offline for 21days. Without any WC's during this time, I could not notice any ill effects. I did not and do not rarely ever test Nitrates and Phosphates- I use the force- how things look, etc. No increase in nuisance algae, etc.

    However, I like running a skimmer so I broke down and bought an affordable replacement pump online.
    It's a Aquatrance 3000s- direct replacement for my Reef Octo nwb200. Hooked right up and blew bubbles like mad right away.

    So, I'm no longer skimmerless.

    Here's todays FTS
