Wow, it is hard to believe that this past January, I passed the 1 year mark with my 75 gallon tank (and 20+ year mark for keeping saltwater).The tank has come a long way from starting from this:
To looking like this today (excuse the horrid full tank shot ... was in a hurray as usual):

On the day of my tank's two month anniversary I headed over to aquatek with a goal in mind: buy some kent tech m and a magnesium test kit to kill my bit of bryopsis, but also to take a gander at what they had for corals. And gander I did.

Friday was spent cutting some of the 2x4s I had on hand to size for the show tank stand. Then spent time cutting crown molding. Fun trying to figure out the angles required to get the molding looking right. Luckily bought and stained extra lengths of the molding. Look at it as getting to play with my new compound miter saw toy. Need to make...
Well my bubble coral was getting huge! I'm talking the size of a basketball, and in a small 34 gallon aquarium, that is just not cool. I have thought about fragging this coral for some time, but never knew exactly how I might approach it. With all the fleshy part it seems like it would be a bit more work than say breaking a sps coral. I...
The installation of the RO/DI unit is complete. I am efficiently churning out RO/DI water. The setup was ridiculously easy. I was shocked at how easy it was to setup. I was expecting lots of pilled water and leaks. No leaks and hardly any water on the garage floor.
I recently decided to switch to Metal Halide Lamps. 
While waiting for the tank to cycle, I ended up grabbing vwmike's LS from his 29g and adding it to the 1" of reefcleaner's mud giving me about 3" of SB in the refugium. As an extra bonus, and unbeknownst to vwmike, an old frag w/ 3 polyps of orange bam bam zoanthids survived! Thanks vwmike =)
Well, it's been 3 months since going to the Drip Method, unplugging the Protein Skimmer and increasing the size of the ATS from 2 panels @ 8.5"x11" to 4 panels (pic attached).
Wow. Thanks to everyone who has been helping with the biodiversity project. Just the numbers of species of copepods I have been seeing are fantastic. I've also never seen yellow, yes, bright yellow coraline algae. There has also been the addition of a stomatapod population (fingernail snails) that is decimating the algae in the tank. The...
a new 90G tank in Austin is born. 
My 29 Gallon JBJ Nanocube is about 3 weeks old now. I started it with live rock from an established tank, and everything looked great. Ammonia 0, Nitrites 0, Nitrates very close to zero. Put in a couple of clownfish -- hungry and doing great.
