Not in this state my good friend. With KG gone, the Wolves are painfull to think about, and when it comes to football... well, A. Peterson is the only one worth watching on the team. What kind of fool lets T. Jackson be your starting QB??? Hockey is all we have left here. Besides, this is Minnesota. Most kids are on skates as soon as they can walk. It is part of being a Minnesotan

Whoa, those frags have some potential! And I really like the picture of the cardinal.

Thanks Chris! the "micro island" as I am calling it, has been moved into the main system finally on a frag station. I am letting it hang out on the bottom for a while to get used to the crazy current in the big system before I move them up to make sure they can still inflate. I had a monster frogspawn colony in there for a bit, but I had to remove it because it wouldn't ever open due to the flow in the tank being too much for it

Sorry guys, work has been super busy as we get ready to wrap up. No slowing down until the end of January now

I will snap some pics on my days off this week for everyone. Micro island is looking nice and I seem to be making some headway with the hair algae. There is a guy in our local club who does pottery who is going to custom build a frag station to fit in a certain spot in my tank so I can get the micro's up off the bottom of the tank so they can get some more light. All the fish seem to be doing well for the most part and things are slowly moving along.

Looks great! Even with all the wonderful fish and corals, the first thing I noticed was the woodworking. I like the accents on the tank trim!

Thanks Chris, I have the rest of the trim pieces cut now, I just have to figure out how I am going to stain and laquer them. It is cold up here and we have no heat in our garage. As you can imagine it is way to stinky to do in the house, especially with small children around.

You know, YLchik was saying it was too cold in the garage to do work... and I've honestly never had to consider that. But it surely is way too stinky, so I won't judge you if it's not finished anytime soon. Tank is looking great, by the way!
