that made me laugh. I thought the same thing 5 years ago when California was going through the rolling black outs.

Hmm lets see, our population is getting larger and larger and we havn't built a power plant in 11 years. Maybe we should start building another one before we have some problems.

I swear sometimes an 11 year old could run things better sometimes.

We had the rolling blackouts in Houston this past Monday. I was thinking the same thing. Guess it's time to save up for a nice generator.

P.S. -- Anybody from Dallas coming down for our Houston frag swap tomorrow?

Evan goes by quiksilver here on RC, so you could send him a PM that way, or email him at reefcast@gmail.com

It's too bad you've had to wait so long, as we recorded Episode 6 probably 3 weeks ago at least. Since we are doing this for free, I can't really put a lot of pressure on him and honestly don't want to. If it becomes an uncomfortable task instead of something fun...

A guess an update is due...

The frag I got from Zenya is RTNing now. I got it last year at MACNA, and it was doing quite well. It is really a small twig with a few branches, but all the same - argh.

The Hammer coral that I grew from a couple of heads is dying. I'm going to pull it out tonight to see if I can frag away what seems distressed from the rest that seems happy. I don't know why it is just dying, head by head. The frogspawn did the exact same thing last year, and I never did find the source. There is a rock anemone nearby, but the neucrosis occured at the furthest point away and is working its way toward the anemone, so I don't think it is the culprit.

I have a few very resilient cyano patches that stay dark all night long. Cyano tends to turn clear at night. I'm going to siphon out what I can find.

A third Tigertail cucumber has been seen in the reef, so one of the split at some point. I have a feeling there are probably four in the tank by now.

The purple monster (A. secale) looks great, and is keeping its nice color.

The BTAs seem quite large, and I'm beginning to wonder if any of them may decide to split soon.

All the fish are healthy and happy, and virtually all the corals look good. I did add that Montipora digitata about 6 weeks ago that looks pretty much history, and I never did find out if it was a water chemistry issue or if I have a fish (Tucker?) nipping at it.

So while that might not be a very happy update, I'm just telling you how it is. There are lots of great looking corals in the tank, including the Tyree LE, but a small percentage are not faring well.

That really sucks... However, it does make me feel a little better that even a master like you has problems too. I guess there is never just sitting back and looking at a perfect reef is there?
