Yeah....I'm looking forward to it. I'm waiting this week to find out if the contractor for our new house can start in late Oct, early Nov. If not, they will push us to early spring which will make me want to cry. If they can start, then I'll be putting quote requests out for an 84x32x24 tank along with a 100g sump. It will be a peninsula tank and we've already drawn it into the plans with a basement fishroom (8 x 10).

You can see why I want to get started already.

Thanks Myka...I need to try to clean the back wall soon. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with it. Wish I could rid myself of all the mushrooms though. Not sure what to do for the future.

Hi Mark, your tanks look very nice....

As for the Pom Pom Crab, he will eat and sweep the sand for any left overs that fall. I have had mine for a year now and yes they do hide but every once in a while they come out. They will eat everything from frozen to small flakes if you feed that. Great little guys that is for sure.

Well after being away for much of Christmas my Nano tank is showing some struggles. I developed some type of slimy brown algae on all the SPS and it's already resulting in about a 60% death rate for them.

A couple are holding and I'm doing all I can to keep the stuff at bay. My parameters were pretty good, PO4 was a little high as I was due for a GAC and Phos change in mid Dec and didn't get it done until Jan 2nd.

None of my efforts seemed to be affecting this stuff so yesterday I tried some chemi-clean just in case this stuff was related to cyano. Funny thing is that my sand is as clean as a whistle...my fuge has a tiny bit of cyano but nothing major at all.

Anyways, the LPS and zoas are all fine so we'll just keep fighting the good fight and see what comes of it. Worst case scenario I make a Frag-a-lot order of $10 frags and re-fill the nano once I know this stuff is beat.
