Sounds good, it must be nice to be able to discuss reef keeping with someone who has been doing this for 40yrs.

Very nice reef! Great use of base rock...over time you can't even tell the difference and the expense is much less. I also like the "center island"...must be nice to have room to aquascape and create effects. Great assortment of corals...looks very healthy. Did I miss it or have you already provided details on filtration and suppliments?
...and by all means post more pics...some of us are addicted to eye-candy!

tony detriot: nice ski's i have always liked Elans but went for the Atomic Beta's they seem to be nice but i probaly would of gone with Solomon's or a freestyle Elan if i didn't race (the reason i have beta rides is cause thats what i use to use a few years back and the beta races are my brothers old ski's)
