As usual great tank!!

What happened to your site? Did you take it down? Change the address??

No.. the server crashed a few days ago. I was just rebuilt. It WAS stable up to a little while ago. I just IM someone who is working on it now. It should be up shortly.

It looks like it up now. I was trying to redo a bunch of sections on the website. But the server crash delayed things so, not all of the site is updated yet.

Joe,
I noticed in the Timline section of your site that the last shot from 4/20/02 is less white than the prior two. Did you switch back to bluer bulbs? I like the coloration!

No, same bulbs. I just figured out how to use my camera correctly. :-) Before the more reflective areas of the tank were over exposing the pics. Now things look much truer to life.

Great tank! Nice variety of corals also. The equipment list is also impressive, top notch stuff IMHO. Excellent job.
