The tank is doing pretty good right now, added a few cleaner wrasses to help control the little bit of ick that may be present and added another set of twin Uv's for good measure. The frags are hit and miss, some doing well, others not so well, probably due to location and lighting. Water is testing great and water changes now are every two weeks instead of weekly. No new fish since the addition of the Spotted Cheeks tang. I need to post some more pictures of him, his cheeks have darkened making the spots much more prominent than in previous pictures. I assume that he is getting used to the tank and all of the tank mates. Will try and get some new pictures posted in the next few days.

I just love tuning in to your web cams and keeping an eye on things. Last night I got to see the rays playing and it was awesome. It was like they were playing tag then hide and go seek!

Thank you! Still working when there is a little free time on the website. Probably won't put a cam on the Octopus tank. I'm afraid there just isn't enough activity to justify, but am planning on posting some videos of them in action on the website when it is finished.
