Hey Doug! Thanks for checking in man. Ya we have been super busy getting the room all ready, going to classes, getting all the equipment set up, etc. The tank is doing alright! Not great, but not bad. Lost my two spot wrasse 
but I think that was due to my new eel! He may have to go though. Wife doesn't like him and I don't know who I'd get to feed him while we are gone since he requires hand feeding. How have you been?

Nice, I'm kicking around picking up an eel for my 40g breeder frag tank, which may not be a frag tank for long lol. Was thinking a chainlink eel, similar to the snowflake. I haven't kept any eels in over 20 years and my 8-year-old wants one, or a mantis shrimp, soooo, I'm mulling over what I want to do lol.

Both would be awesome! (just not in the same tank obviously 
) I actually had to sell my eel. . With travelling the eel was too difficult to feed for my sister who cares for the tank while I am gone.

Lost my midas blenny yesterday :/ I have no idea what happened. Just woke up to find him on the bottom. No strange behavior the previous days, he was eating great, and no visual signs of disease or distress. Just one of those things I suppose. BUT on a positive note, if I win the RedSea tank, I plan on dedicating it in a biotope fashion to make my wife and new baby our first seahorse tank!

So I think the tank and sump need a refresh. I'm considering not going with a fuge anymore too just to try and keep the sump as free as possible of detritus. I'm also considering running filter socks for the first time.
Im also thinking about taking the macro algae from the fugr and putting it in the display to mimic parts of the Caribbean we dove.

Im in the process of removing my sandbed now. I've had some issues keeping it clean so slowly taking it out. Still not sure if I'll go totally bare bottom or just leave a very thin layer.

Yea I have a pretty thin layer as it is and I constantly struggle with do I clean it or do I not. Sand looks better IMO but it might be the cause of many issues too. Either way I think I need a total reno on the tank and filtration. Developing an algae and sediment problem
