If you want we are going to BBQ, drink some beer (or soft drinks) and talk reefing.
PM me if you would like a phone number or directions.
What is their favourite food?

Pizza! But the Purple & Sohal Tang's steal it from them all the time.
I feed a mixture of Pe Mysis, Rods Food, Black worms, Optimum - flake & pellet Nori 2x a day, all my food gets a Selcon soak.
Hope that helps.

I made my first post on this thread back in December when your wife went ill. I am so sorry for your loss. She is in a place where no illness and evil can ever touch her, in heaven and your heart.

I read through this thread in January when i was planning my 180. Between buying a house, a new job and setting up the 180, it dropped off my radar. Now almost 8 months later i revisit it and read through with a heavy heart. I think that this thread shows that with all the pain your wife went through, she was still able to sit in front of and enjoy the tank. Hopefully it eased the pain and took her to another place mentally. I know that my most tranquil place is sitting in front of my tank listening to the water flow. Should you ever need any help of any kind, I would be honored to lend a hand and please do not hesitate to ask.
I would say some of us are more like Reefing Brothers than Reefing buddies.

Thank you for the continued support everyone!
When I started out on our journey to build and design 'Our Natural Sun-Lit Reef' I never imagined I would have this type of following. The new friends I've made along the way in the reefing community and all of the wonderful comments give me great happiness, I'm truly touched by all of the caring words.
I've been working very hard at trying to keep everything going. I have been setting new goals to achieve with work and home. When Kelly first passed away I really had no idea what I was going to do, so I tried to do everything I could everyday and by the end of the day I was passing out from exhaustion.
With my new learning curve I have been balancing whats important and whats not, so out went the daily house cleaning, and cooking. I really don't mind the floating hair bunnys all over the floor my dog "Stella" makes and takeout is so much more fun, and no dishes to wash. I started writing a journal and even started writing poetry, during some of my dark times is surly has helped lift my spirits.
The tank is doing great! The Moorish Idol has adjusted very well, and eats everything I put in! I have been collecting new parts for some system electronics and I started talking with a solar expert, I still have plans to put the whole system on a solar electric grid.
