and of coarse without the wife's consent this would all be just a dream right....

Well said. She must be very understanding.

and now most algae is gone we need to start thinking about feeding something else
1Kg Mussels (2.2Lbs)
1Kg Squid (2.2Lbs)
1/2Kg Oysters (1.1Lbs)
1/2Kg Scallops (1.1Lbs)
1Kg Shrimp (2.2Lbs)
250Gr Salmon (.5Lbs)
All fresh from the local fish market naturally all caught this morning
except for the salmon then I guess.
6 leaves of seaweed
dried cyclopeeze
Seachem Entice flavor enhancer
2 bottles of Selcon
and some dried zooplankton to taste
and this is what you get after a few seconds in the blender
looks appetizing right
about 5 months worth of fish, Invert and coral food.


and in the freezer it goes

dealing with a serious throat infection though had some work done today
had a new rail made for the AI lights so I can add lights in the future. The rail now is the complete length of the tank and the old rail (which was only 2m) has been removed.
Still only 5 modules though hanging a bit higher now and have much more spread.

old one removed

new rail installed

Man those were some memories. Your tank has come along so well. I have to do a progression pic like you but lost all my pics when my phone crapped out. I will steal them from my earlier thread pics if possible.
