A new page was put together about resizing images so they actually fit the screen -- which allows us to see the entire picture on our screen and prevents text scrolling offscreen like it always does.

I just got back from my trip to Cincinnati, Ohio. The weather was wonderful, and the club there was a happy group of hobbyists. I look forward to visiting the Cincinnati Reefkeepers Society again one day. Here are some pictures from my trip:

I'm driving down to Austin later today (Friday), to speak to the club there on Saturday, and will be back Saturday night. Hopefully my tank will be fine whilst I'm gone.

I just got my first order from Zoanuts.com, and thought I'd share my experience.

My trip to Cleveland was great, and I got to meet a number of enthusiastic members of the C-SEA club. Yet another page I need to do at some point soon.

The next presentation I'll be giving will be in Austin on May 10th at 2pm at MakoJ's home. His beautiful reef was features as Tank Of the Month in March 08 in Reefkeeping Magazine. I can't wait to see it again.

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.

I'm heading out to Southern California for the rest of this week. If you need to reach me, you can email me at melev@swbell.net and I'll try to reply when possible. I'll be visiting some local fish stores, some wholesalers, a number of hobbyists' reef tanks, and then Saturday & Sunday I'll be at the Marine Aquarium Expo in Orange County Fairgrounds. If you are in SoCal, I hope to see you there!

My new lights are installed, and hopefully my reef will benefit from the new intensity of light they provide. The equipment really looks clean by comparison to what I had before.

I'll be building a new webpage showing all the different angles so you can get a better idea of what I'm using from now on.

Here are a few fun pictures, just because.
