Well, color ME flattered!!! I'm Michael by the way and that's my tank you guys are heaping so many kind words upon. Thank you very much, sincerely. Your compliments are much appreciated.
I am currently out of town on business so forgive me if I'm getting to your questions late. First of all, yeah, I'm the Married...With Children, guy. When they did that interview for the E Channel, I tried using the reef as a diversion but, unfortunately, they kept focusing on me anyway. Sorry. Now, I'm simply a plain old outdoor photographer with a wife, kid, and 500g reef to feed.
Slothy: You may not go broke on the feeding schedule but you definately would have no social life. With all those Anthias, by the time I finish feeding one end of the tank, the guys on the other end are hungry again.
FireEater: Yeah, I had a bit of cyano in the refugium too. Not nearly as much as I had in the main tank though. Now that I've stepped up cirulation in the refugium, it's totally gone there. Still have a little bit in the main tank but I'm definitely on the winning side, I think.
sammystingray: Sorry about that window thing. We (the web designer and myself) went back and forth about that issue and he decided it was better for them to stay open. I shall punish him forthwith. I shall make him feed my Anthias.
mercedes: Got a dog. Passes gas like an Edsel. No thanks.
Danrw84: Unless somethings totally out of whack, I'd say I spend no more than an hour a day now. I do have a service guy come out sometimes though, especially during times like this when I'm on the road. He probably spends 6-8 hours a week.
entice59: We're discussing doing a little 'movie' for the website update...as if the dialup guys aren't mad enough at me already.
jamesurg: Actually, the first few years were UGLY: Mantis shrimp, Valonia outbreaks, and I wasn't home nearly as much as I thought I'd be so I didn't shoot much. Don't worry. You didn't miss anything. Just a ton of live rock sitting in ariated trashcans with a crying man lying in a fetal position between them.
Everyone Else: Thank You, Thank You, and again, Thank you.
Look for a site update in about a month (or two). Later.
