Well hopefully everyone had a wonderful holidays and happy new year with their friends and family!

Back to the grind... Which means back to posting again for me.

I decided it would be fun to have tank New Year's Resolutions:

1) Stay on top of equipment maintenace
2) Reboot biopellets as my nitrates climbed to a whooping 30ppm last week
3) Eradicate the green cyano and dinos that have resulted from my increased nutrients from removing the biopellets and the sand from the frag tank
4) Add fish to my coral frag tank and a harem of clownfish to my anemone prop tank
5) Place all grow out frag tank colonies on tiles for better organization
6) Upgrade my 114 watt UV sterilizer to a 150-watt sterilizer
7) Upgrade my TMC Procal CaRX to the old Deltec 601S I have sitting in the fish room
8) Upgrade skimmer size to the old Reef Dynamic external skimmer with dual Eheim pumps
9) Remove all colonies out of the display that are being moved on and glue new frags/colonies in its place

That's all I got for now. Man, 2019 is going to be busy!

Alright, enough jibber-jabber.... Here's the pics!

No systematic water changes... That's correct. If something ever arises or my salinity starts creeping down, I'll add some salt to the sump or do a water change which is rare... Usually when I send out to much frags and need makeup water or like when my dinos were getting out of hand after adding the new frag tank, removing sand from the old frag tank, and removing biopellets so I went in with tubing and sucked out what was growing on the sand to the tune of about 25 gallons this week.
