MACNA XXI - Atlantic City, NJ
From September 25 - 27, 2009, over 1,100 hobbyists from across the nation and abroad flew in to enjoy this year's Marine Aquarium Conference of North America. And in record time, all the pictures have been edited and uploaded to my site.
If you weren't able to attend this year, this is what you missed: MACNA XXI
This is what I came home with.

Article: How to change saltwater
My water change article has been released at last. It'll be added to my site in the near future, but for now you can enjoy it the November Issue of Reefkeeping Online.
Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to visit several reefkeeper's homes in South Dakota. It was very interesting and I'll be adding that information to my site once I get the images edited and linked to some new pages.
The MACNA XIX pages are done. I still have to code them into the site permanently, but if you've not see any of my pictures yet, here's the link:

I have more pictures from the presentations I attended, but haven't had time to recap those talks yet.

Treasure from MACNA
So MACNA was awesome. I had a great time in Pittsburgh and saw many of my online friends each day. I came home with handful of goodies for my reef.
And before I left, I signed up for MACNA XX in Atlanta, GA. If you are thinking about going, now is the time to sign up while the price is still $89 for the full conference package. Go to www.macnaxx.com to sign up and reserve a great hotel room for a bargain price. FYI, the price is going to go up substantially, so signing up now is your best bet. Saturday night's Gala will be at the Georgia Aquarium, which is just a few minutes' walk from the hotel in downtown Atlanta.
I'll be adding a huge MACNA update to my site with hundreds of pictures.
Regarding my tank, it looks really good. I have a nitrate issue that I'm dealing with, but I'm using a product called AZNO3 to bring them down gradually. Hopefully it will work as promised and my livestock won't be adversely affected.
Regarding Reefcast, which comes up often by various listeners craving new episodes, I spoke with Evan today. I can't control when the episodes come out since we work on them together, but I do hope that the one we recorded in August will be released very soon. Evan's had a lot on his plate lately, and put the podcast on hold for the duration. He cares, but puts his family and life ahead of that particular hobby.

MACNA, here I come!
I'm off to MACNA XIX in Pittsburgh, PA! Hopefully my reef will be okay while I'm away. :)
The most recent addition to my site has been the new pages about the Austin Tank Tour I enjoyed on September 1. I've got many of the pictures posted, but have 3 more tank's worth of pictures to edit and add. If you can't wait and have to see what's available now, here's the link:

I've gotten some emails asking about how the Logo Contest concluded, and which logo was my final choice. It was very tough, and I gave it a lot of thought. My choice is this one, shown on two different backgrounds:
As I work out the final version with the artist, you'll begin to see the logo appear on my site and in the corner of my images. I want to thank every person that entered the contest, and made my choice so difficult. There were several I really liked, but I had to choose only one.
Here is a recent full tank shot. I cleaned out some clutter, sold off a few corals, and added new sand where it was lacking. Click for larger version.
