A new contest for those with artistic abilities:

A lot has happened in the past few weeks since my last entry.

The biggest event was my decision to not run for a Board of Directors position for DFWMAS again. After 5 years as a BOD member and 3 years as club president, I felt it was time to take a break and recharge. The new president will start his term on July 1, a few days from now. I'm sure he'll do a great job.

Our club had another Tank Tour, with my reef being one of the scheduled stops that day. We had a great time visiting 6 tanks that day, two LFS, and ended with a BBQ at a member's home.

That was the sounds I heard this morning when I started making coffee to start the day. And when I say morning I'm talking 11:15am.  I had just pressed the on button when I heard a sudden surge of power and then battery backups chiming from a couple of rooms. Great, power outage. 

Over the weekend, I decided it was time to treat the tank with Chemi-Clean again. The refugium was full of cyano, and a couple of spots in the reef as well. I'm going to let it run for 72 hours instead of 48, then do a 55g water change and run fresh carbon. And finally restart the skimmer that has been off for the past two days.

Last weekend, I flew to Rochester NY to speak to the URSNY club. As you probably expected, I brought home more than just memories - I also got a bunch of pictures for you to see. Plus a few new frags. Here are the pictures.

The newest frag is a Sunset Montipora, which you'll see in the Frag Swap images. I also got an unidentified frag, plus two Micro Carpet Anemones. I'll have to take pictures of these when they are in a suitable location.

Last weekend, I was invited to URSNY to speak. I took a bunch of pictures...
