It's been a long summer.

First I want to say thanks to all the folks that have been emailing!  I'm not a tech professional, and with 3 growing kids I have limited time to keep up, but I promise to try and do a better job adding and responding to everyone that has shown interest as well as figuring out how to add an RSS link.

  Thanks all!
 The summer is always a challenge as I go away for 5 weeks to Maine and finding folks that can care for my tank as I would is virtually impossible.  So as I returned home this past week I find I have an outbreak of hair algae and red slime that has developed.  Hopefully a few weeks of diligent husbandry will let me take care of it.  In addition my H. Mag. anemone decided to lean over and touch my Strawberry Shortcake SPS which was the growing pride and joy that sat front and center in my tank, but I had to move it to the back to rescue it in the middle of the summer and as a result it browned out again (for a second time).  We'll see if I can bring it back. 

 Anyways, thanks again folks for all the interest!  I promise to have some updated photos soon.
