Today I sold my 15" tonga branch. It is completely covered with green star polyp. I got this branch 3 years ago and it was a piece of uncured live rock.

I did some more rearranging and got on a coral spending run. Hopefully this will keep me happy for a long period of time

I swap out the SCWD for the Oceanmotion device. The flow on the SCWD kinda sucked. I got much stronger flow now.

I rearranged my tank. Got tired of the old setup. I sold 90% of that bundle of pumping xenia. It was getting out of control!

I upgraded my water return system. Using a Quiet One 4000HH pump on a SCWD wave maker device. Remove 2 out of 3 power heads from the main tank. Will probably remove the last one soon. The results weren't as good as i expected it to be...time to save up for an OM Squirt now.

My friends got together and suprised me with fish inside my tank! It was definitely a good feeling to see fish swimming in the tank again.

Sad story (around end of Feb '04): My roommate and I were adding a water softener to our water line. And to make long story short, after cycling the water of the house for a couple of weeks, i started using the RO water again without any problem. However, one day we had to mod one small thing on the house pipe and i totally forgot about it and use the RO water to dissolve the frozen brine shrimp cube. I used no more then like 1/4 cup of the RO water and it killed EVERYTHING single fish inside my tank =( ALL my fish died the same night!! Its was soo depressing watching them all die in front of me. All my corals and shrimp lived though. (BTW, my nemo had eggs and since they died, no one was there to protect it. The shrimp got to them and did their thing. I was too depressed to do anything about it) I was debating if i should just sell everything and call it quits.....

Added a flame angel, coral banded shrimp, and corals

June '03: Moved my tank from my parents house to my current place! It was not fun since i have to move it downstairs -> drive it over -> and move it upstairs!

Saw the purple tip anemone on sale for $15!!! Had to get it!! It covers a good portion of my tank now!

No better way to celebrate the new year by buying my first set of saltwater fish! The goby never ate anything died pretty quickly. The feather duster is still alive today!!
