new puddle pictures

[tmz]

:bounce3:Well, it's been more than a year since I posted pictures. The process is tedious for me.
Thanks to Chris M( acdraindrps) I have several hundred new ones. He stopped by and took them with Randy Os camera which he was kind to lend us.
The puddle has grown quite a bit and the sump and frag/'grow out tanks have been up graded since the last posting . Things have been a bit slow on this board so I thought I'd post afew just for fun:

Here's the link to last years posting.

Awesome stuff Tom!!!

Question: I will be making a dedicated fish room in our basement. Right now there are 4 tanks setup with an est. volume of 120g's...all open top. Currently there is a bathroom type exhaust fan dwn there and a dehumidifier that I need to get working again. Have you any mold issues? I brought up our dining room table that had been stored in the basement for about 3 months. It was covered with green mold!!!

Tonight I begin the arduous task of cleaning up the basement...the mold can't be a good thing lol. My future fish room will have an exhaust fan in it and I plan to do the walls with FRP for ease of clean-up.

I get rust on some tools from salt mist. I've cut a vent in the air exchange duct and use a dehumidifier at certain times of year. Had to do that anyway as the basement circa 1941 is damp anyway.No mold though. I may invest in a humidstat exhaust fan.

It's always a pleasure viewing your system with grown out coral colonies and some of the healthiest fish I've ever seen; this is what our hobby is all about.
