I really miss this place. My life has been crazy for the last year...
Lost my best dog
Lost my sister inlaw
Lost my high speed internet
And have been in the remodle phase for almost three years:o
We will be moving to AZ in June and I'm not packed!!!
Putting the house on the market in May
Another one of our dogs is in the dying phase


But my tank is looking great I'd post a picture but I only have dial up and I don't have an hour... Any way how is everybody?:tongue2:

Victoria, It's so good to have you back! I/we have missed you big time. I am truly sorry for what life has put you through. Sometimes life sucks but, when you come out the other side, you are stronger and wiser. When things like this happen, they say you can always rely on family. Welcome home!!!

Right you are Christi. For all the newbies in the family that haven't seen it, here is what it looked like more than a year ago.

Well if I can post a picture I will try in the next few days.. Thanks for the welcome back it put a smile on my face. My tank has changed quite a bit the millie has out grown the monti. I had to get rid of the stag I just kept a frag and its growing fast too. I did lose both my clam when I added another one which was sick. I've learned lots and really want to share it. The tank is still beautiful but has been through some power outages and other things that we all encounter. I'll try to get a photo up soon.
Christi you made me laugh!

Hey there lady.. nice to see you again. Sorry that things have been going the way they have (sounds like a bad country song). I do hope things get better for you...and soon. Let's start with the high speed internet thing.. so we can (selfishly) get you back!

As you can see I have run out of room. I have been triming and giving away whole pieces of coral. I'm trying to maintain till the tank gets moved to AZ

Really I wish you all were closer. I'd love to be a part of your local clubs. And I'd love to be a frag outlet.... When we move to AZ I will be leaving the nano and get into the really large tanks. We have been planning the tank for 3 years now. I am going to do a complete jornal right here on Talkingreef.. Its going to be unreal. I'm going to try to go completely "green" all tank raised and fraged coral. Nothing wild if you know what I mean.

Another warm welcome back from me, and sorry to hear about your losses. I lost my brother last spring in a hard way, so I definitely feel what you may be going through.

Also, our field Lab Daisy is almost 13, and showing the usual signs of age. It makes me very reflective and sometimes sad to think of what it will be like without her. My wife and I are dog nuts, so the emotions will be quite heightened.

It looks to me that there was an open window to the left with late afternoon colors bathing the lower part of the tank. I thought it was kind of cool. My tank gets some late afternoon sun if I do not close the blinds...

The sun light is early morning I love this time of the year I know spring is coming.

We were having an outdoor service at church today and I was admiring the beautiful late afternoon light. It was just gorgeous!
