.. and THAT GONI.. wow! Love the CBB.. STILL on my "list" of most wanted
Well, I've had to change my sump out for awhile now because the back seam started to split. I used a couple of straps to hold it together and it has worked great so far but don't want to push it any longer. I bought another 60g and made the baffles with acrylic just like my last one but made some changes that I wish I would have done the first time. All in all I paid around $140 for everything, this is the progress so far.
I ended up getting AEFW and then left on a six month deployment. While gone the wife was taking care of the tank and forgot to baste off the corals and they took out quite a few colonys. I still have some of the originals but I cut everything into frags and did an 8 week bayer dipping process. I am now on the 1 month wait period and then dipping again on the 15th to see if anything comes off, hopefully I got rid of those bastards!!!!!!
Starting to get the hair algea under control so I should be able to start mounting all these frags soon, can't wait to get these frag racks out of the tank. Here is a video I took tonight.

So I had a hell of a Saturday. Wife and I went to the store to get some stuff for fathers day and when we came home my return pump was throwing bubbles up into the display. I quickly take off my doors and see that the water level was low so I turned off the pump really quick and started to look around. The bottom of my stand was completely filled with water and there is a huge crack all the way across the back of sump. I called Mark at AW and I was lucky they had a sump in stock, not really what I wanted but in a pinch what can you do. I got it home and had to modify the plumbing a little but got it all plumbed in. I finally finished with everything around 1am, crazy day but thankfully everything turned out ok. I still have some cord management to take care of later but for right now it will have to do. Here is a picture the sump then I started playing with the camera on my phone and took some top down pics, I am very impressed with how they came out.
Here is a picture of the old sump with the crack. I already repaired one on the other side, should have took that as a sign and just went ahead and bought a new one at that time.
Here is the new one
And now for some coral pics.
