Well I accidentally scheduled a major server change and a tank move in the same week so I'm currently dealing with getting both back online and stable. I've been working on the tank for the past few days and it seems to be stable and back to its original status. All of the coral frags survived the moved even though they were subjected to some extreme but temporary temperature swings. I'll continue to monitor their health over the next few days to make sure they are doing well. The tank status page will not be 100% functional until I get my internet service activated, but I expect that to be taken care of by the end of the week. The repairs to the website should be completed by the end of the week also. It looks like I have several broken image links and some style sheet issues to resolve.

There are several new frags in the tank now. Pictures coming soon.

 This past weekend I attended Saltwater University 3 hosted by the Atlanta Reef Club. This was my first time attending an aquarium hobby conference, so I had been looking forward to this for a while. This SWU was held on Saturday and Sunday but I was only able to attend the Sunday session and I have to say it was still great.  The presentations and workshops were well put together and the all speakers did an awesome job. I was fortunate to meet several well known people in the hobby like Anthony Calfo, Bob Fenner, Tullio Dell Aquila and Jake Adams. I also won several great prize, so that made the conference even better. If you haven't attend SWU in the past, you should really check it out. Plan a trip to Atlanta next year, it's going to be HUGE!

I forgot to take my camera, so I don't have any pictures to post. If and when the pictures are posted on the Atlanta Reef Club website, I'll post the link and pictures of my new zoas I picked up at SWU3

Where do I begin?????

I guess I can start by explaining my reason for not updating my blog in over a month. See, I found this blog software names BlogJet that I really liked. It was very simple to set up and has a very user friendly interface, so I downloaded the trial version. It expired before I could use it enough to justify the $40 they wanted for it, so I then went on searching for a new blog tool that I liked.  Today I found it, so I'm back.

The Tank.

The Crocea clam that was added back in March is no longer living. Unfortunately the problem that killed my clam, also affect several other hobbyist that purchased clams from the same batch. The exacted cause of death is still unknown but it's being researched.

I did add a new coral (which I have yet to talk a picture of). I was told it's an Orange milli, but in the 3 weeks it's been in my tank it's began to turn pink. I'm starting to think that it lost it's color due to the lighting that it was under prior to being added to my tank. Seems like I may have lucked out with this frag.

The website.

Another good addition has been the Reef Status page. I'm using a great program that was written by one of my fellow ARC members (Thanks again Cameron) to produce the data for this site. Unfortunately development was stopped right as the web support features were being implemented, so I was unable to get some of the kinks fixed. For now, the patch I have in place seems to be working well as long as I'm constantly using the software.

Well that seems like everything. I'll post more if anything comes to mind.
