A coral update
Not to clutter up the log, I wanted to post the links to a number of pictures I've posted elsewhere.

Corals aren't always neighbors
Here are the pictures of my son's new 29g that replaced the 10g setup he had for a year. This tank is my old one that I cleaned up and reversed.

Those Maroon clowns should be happier
My son's tank came out really nice with the new canopy (VHO lighting). Because of the many fine scratches on the front glass, I reversed the tank and now the front is the former rear glass.

Replacing a scratched tank with a newer one
My 29g reef is in a glass tank that is over 5 years old, and has a ton of scratches. I bought a new one with black silicone seams and waited until I had time to transfer everything into it. Here's the old tank:

New growth appearing
While studying the 55g closely, I found new growth of the blue Milleopora on the LR it had been touching until recently.

Kalkwasser - be cautious even after rinsing area
Word to the wise: Be very careful with kalkwasser in your main tank. I mixed up a paste of pickling lime to kill one large aiptasia. I drew this mixture up into a syringe, pulled the rock out of the tank and proceeded to inject the vile beast until it resembled black tar.

Chemi-Clean works like promised
Chemi Clean works! I've always avoided using chemicals to remove problems, but the cyano bacteria simply would not go away entirely. I'd lost a couple of frags to this algae, and done all the normal things to avoid fueling it any more.

Those snails did what?
A very sad occurance.... I had a beautiful baby gold Maxima clam shipped to me from a friend in another state, which I carefully acclimated to my tank for a couple of hours. I placed this 1.5" clam on an empty shell in the center of the rockwork in my 55g under MH lighting.
