Glad to hear the move is feeling right. Our tank is now about 2 1/2 years old. We still stare at it every day and it is definitely a facination when friends come to visit. Thanks for your support in the early days!

To tell you the truth I was thinking of MH lighting - maybe just because the light is always brighter in the other guy's tank. ;-) But I'm not really up for the reinvestment and DIY project. LOL Everything looks great and only Luiz and I would really notice the difference.

Our clam grows like a weed, continually laying down more shell.

After 94 years in business Nippon closed its doors about 6 months ago. They report 1,000 little price cuts inflicted by internet competition. I'm sure that is true, but I would include the attitude of some of their staff as a real turn off. And Eddy at Tropical Paradise closed his amazing storefront to go 100% online - AND the Aquarium in Concord just closed a couple of months ago. We're getting our water from 6th Avenue (although I refuse to buy anything else from them) and we have to travel to Fremont to Atlantis Aquarium for livestock when we get the itch, which is not that often at this point.

There is a growth shot after 18 months up in my gallery.

Keep us posted on your progress. There is a Reef Chronicles forum here for pics and discussion of your progress.

Again - welcome back!
