The wife is out of the house on Monday nights, so I get some bonus fish tank time.  I usually do a thorough glass cleaning, check my levels, do the dosing, take care of any other maintenance issues that need addressed.  However, now that I have this fancy new iPhone it’s easier than ever to take weekly growth shots!  You’ll see the link to the page up there in the navigation – other than that, not much to report for this week.  Added some extra rubble to the tank to try and close up some of the dead space under the over hang.  Still pondering tearing that all out and do a complete rebuild (always the case right?!) but for now I am going to let it sit and grow.  I’ll be sure to post another update next, till then – happy reefing!

Finding it’s INFINITELY easier to do short vids and growth shots.

Here is a short clip from last night, enjoy!

Still looking to add a cleaner shrimp (the last one died some time ago) as well as a nice piece of hammer coral, in the hopes my clowns will host it.  Kyle is in LA this weekend, we’ll see what he has to say about things …
