Welp, I've already started the process somewhat, but here's what the plan is, followed by where I am in the process:

Plan:
100g cube, lit by custom LED's (Cree LED's)
3 heatsinks with royal blues and whites.
Controller (leaning towards RKE)
Skimmer
75g refugium/Sump
Reeflo external return
2x Vortech MP40w's

Process:
I've got the upper and lower frames for the oversize stand assembled of 2x6's. Lower frame has...

Let's focus today on human idiosyncrasies. For instance, my daughter eats dinner in a circle. She has since she was old enough to turn a plate around. Chicken, peas, potatoes. Clockwise. Saves best for last...peas, in her case...and starts so that the peas are last. So...potatoes first, turn plate, chicken, turn plate...peas. Waa-la. I have more than several...i believe i've led an interesting enough life to warrant more than a few...but one is giving myself a reward for accomplishing something...

Despite being a reefer for 5 years, and keeping sps corals with success, i still have problems with the how many fish rule. The most common rule I've heard of is 1 inch of fish for 5 gallons. So if i have a 40 gallon, i can have 9 inches of fish. Despite this I've seen people with 15 inches and even 20 inches in the same aquarium size. I seem to upgrade tank sizes before i can fill aquariums up, so i've never been able to experiment with this my self. What are your guys think is the golden number...

I've been involved in theater since I was 5. I've been a professional stage manager for over 20 years. The non-union kind. There's a difference. Union techies find very little passion in their job...I believe my job gives me passion. So I am inclined to work harder and longer at something that gives me so much in return. And as I thought about that tonight...I...

There's the kind that's part of what I do...Stage Manage. And then the other kind.

Gone are the days where you can speak your mind, be generous without someone thinking you have a hidden agenda, or spank your child in public.

I will, however, remain positive. For as sure as I am sitting here typing this...someone, somewhere, is taking what someone says or does one of two ways. The right way, or the wrong way. And of that? I have little control.
