Reefcast: Epic Episode 30
This latest episode is Epic, so it was named Epic Episode 30. It is a video episode, and thus a large download. Be sure to save it to your computer rather than trying to stream it. Downloads page
My reef is doing quite well. Here's the latest image.

A few projects recently completed:
Vodka Dosing Drip System
Manifold Project - it only took 9 months to get this one accomplished, but two friends made it happen
VorTech Battery Backup Surgery
Algae Scraper - I waited on this one forever, but glad I finally got it
The angled tank is doing well, and has been cleaned up more since this picture was taken. I guess I got that backwards. LOL

Evan called me last night and let me know that Episode 27 of Reefcast is ready for you to download. Enjoy yet another show. :) Episode 27
I'm in Southern California for the rest of the week. Yesterday it was beautiful. Today, cloudy but mild. My host took me to visit a few fish stores: Jeff's Exotic Fish, OC Aquariums, and Ali's Amazing Aquariums And Reefs. I got some great pictures to share with you when I get back home.

Reefcast help pages, and a referral system
I've decided to set up a Referral Program for those of you that have purchased a RO/DI unit from me. For the details, here's the link:

So tell others and start saving some money. :)
In other news...
The tank is doing quite well. I got in some new plumbing parts for the angled tank that I'm going to install very soon. I've been trying to find the perfect stand, but nothing seems right. I may just have to build my own instead. Stay tuned.
Evan came over this weekend and we worked on the next episode of Reefcast. It'll be out soon, and when it is I'll be sure to post it to my log.
For those of you trying to download the shows but don't understand how it works, I created two new pages on my site. The first page is a list of all the episodes, and you can download them to your harddrive. Remember to Right Click & Save As, paying attention to where it saves on your computer.

The other page is a Reefcast Tutorial. It shows you with images how to navigate the Reefcast site, how to download files, how to find the show notes, how to use Itunes and more!

In other news...
I treated my tank with Red Slime Control, turned off the carbon reactor, cleaned the skimmer completely, turned off the refugium lighting, and will restart the skimmer in the next 24 hours. The water is a tad murky since it hasn't been skimmed in two days, but the cyano is yet again a thing of history.
I modified the second impellar to my Euro-Reef 12-2 to use mesh material, and am really looking forward to seeing how the skimmer does.

Reefcast: Episode 13; and a loss to my family
FYI, Reefcast Episode #13 is available!
I'm heading to MACNA on Thursday, and Evan is riding shotgun. We're taking all the goodies for our Reefcast booth in the vendor's hall. While I'm away, I've recruited some local help to check on the tank once a day.
On a sad note, my grandmother died a couple of days ago. She lived to be 94. As soon as I'm back from MACNA, I have just enough time to check on the tank and pack for my flight the next morning to attend her funeral in Switzerland. Getting a flight in a hurry was an exhausting task, but I'm glad I'll be able to attend. I am a little worried about being away from my reef for so long with two back-to-back trips, but am going to just hope for the best.
