Cool trip!
My wife won't go snorkeling .... a bad incident occurred once while snorkeling on our honeymoon in Cancun ... she claims I almost drowned her in 2' of water ... I am lucky she lets me have any water in the house!

Finally had a chance to snap a couple of pictures.
Left half:  Right half:  Full shot:  Haven't really run into any issues as of late, I just haven't had time to gather additional corals and what not. I'm letting what I have now grow out a little. I have an African tank as well that was getting way to crowded, so I picked up a used 160g for a really good deal and transferred all my Mbunas into it. I was very tempted to make it a FOWLR, but alas, there was no way to extend the plumbing from the other system to it. Here it is right after transferring rocks, filters and fish from the 65g and 45g that you can still see in this shot:  Close up of the gang. I estimate that I have about 60 fish in there right now and about 5 of them are holding, so more are on the way.

Sweet. Good to see some updates.
I love the FW tank. I like the rock wall.. it looked like a brick when I first saw it, but looks different in the up-close pic.

I received a couple of questions about the piping between the sump and fuge, so here are a couple of shots I took this morning that will hopefully make it a bit clearer.
This first pic shows the lighted fuge raised a little more than a foot above the sump on the left. The fuge drains via the 2 pipes exiting the front. The water exits into a 5g bucket in the sump for bubble control.  Here is a better look at the return plumbing. It exits the bottom of the sump and then enters the hammerhead pump. 60% or so is returned to the display, the remaining 40% goes back into the fuge.  Here is a closer look at the fuge. There's a forest of grape algae and Xenia on the right and a ball of Chaeto on the right. Here is a better shot of the 2 drains I was talking about earlier. You can also see the valve I used to adjust how much sump water is returned to the fuge.
