Ahhh... that would be moi! And the skimmer, aka The Big Daddy has impressed many of reefers who have stopped by. Paul and I had a hell of a trip that weekend... something I am not about to do again anytime soon, but was a blast!
The 180 is still being setup, a bit change in plans than we had originally thought, but progress is being made. As far as the chromis and the rest of the fish, Paul has them and they are looking beautiful as ever.
So are you officially a father now?

yup sure am, had the boy last friday, he came late and was a biggun at 10lbs
nice to know that everything went well with the move, yeah that skimmer needs a very big dirty tank to run on, that way in can actually work not just hang out 99% of the time.

After leaving Oregon practically at 7AM and not sleeping the night before while we tore the system down, you can imagine the trip home through winding mountains and a trailer full of breakable items in tow. 
I am telling you, I was blinded by the 8AM sun, and that curb came out of nowhere! Damn you should have seen Paul though after 15 gallons of saltwater ended up all over him in the passenger seat... poor bastard.

Mike has a history of saving poor souls in the roads and SWERVING out of the way to save the poor cardboard pieces and curbs and sand spots that might have perished otherwise... While you are all busy laughing at the 15 gallons I took on my lap.... I also peed on Mike's seat to get him back. All the liquid just blended!!!! Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Jim,
Are you still doing acrylic fabrication? If so, we need to talk. I am needing some pretty large stuff (tanks, reactors, skimmer, UVs, plumbing, specimen holding system, etc.) for a big project I am working on and really did not want to go into the commercial side of it if I could avoid the cost. Unfortunately I am inept at these things and you already have the equipment/experience/'shop' so have your people contact my people... we will do lunch.
