Well, I got envious of so many owners having a tank thread here in the RSM subforum, so I decided to start one here. I have a pre-existing Reef Chronicle with my tank history, but not many visit it, and it doesn't get updated very often. Rather than repeat the history here's a link to my chronicle:

Reefmack's Old RSM Chronicle

The chronicle was started before Reef Santuary was nice enough to give us RSM tank owners our own subforum. I seldom update it and it doesn't seem like many owners find their way to it.

So, I'll start off with an FTS from yesterday, and go from here.....

I scraped a lot of coralline yesterday, even though it may not look it. The back sides are hard to get at without knocking corals loose. In addition my 2 Ocellaris clowns call the back right their home, and are raising their 6th batch of eggs since Thanksgiving in late November! They lay them in the corner between the back and right side glass, and the eggs progress and hatch, but where the fry end up I have no idea - fish and coral food I assume. I wish the clowns would take a break before they wear themselves out. It seems like they only have a few days between one batch of eggs hatching and the next batch being deposited.

I'll try to pass on my new successes, and failures, in this thread. And I have had, and still do, have my fair share of failures! But, I try my best to learn from them, and if I'm extremely lucky I don't repeat them!
