Well I have figured that it is about time for an update even if it is a pretty modest one.
I'm almost officially on my christmas vacation - I have a paper to finish up and them I'm free. I have already left my house at school and had am expected to be gone until January 7th. I'll be out of the country and far from my tank for most of this time. Hopefully I can check on it at least once.
This means I had to do a few things:
-Finally set up my ATO with lots of reserve water
-Make sure everything else is automated and set in properly!
-remove animals with feeding requirements.
-make sure my water quality can remain high for the duration
My ATO may look a little sketchy for the moment yet it should work. I have about 15G of RO/DI water on a reservoir and don't expect that even half of this will be used. It's pretty dry and cold this time of year here.
I removed my blue tang and in a few hours will be taking this guy to a his new home. I've said it before but I'll repeat how pretty I think this fish is.... upgrade some day

If you've been watching and laughing at my varied outbreak of pests you may enjoy this update picture of my unwanted colonial hydroids. I would say the colony has increased 5 fold.
This is what the inside of a ricordea looks like.
