"What is a Sump?" has been translated into German. This is the first page of many that will be available in other languages to help people around the world. I'm very excited. Here's the page:

Was ist ein Technikbecken???"

If you would like to help translate some of the more popular pages, please let me know. I would think Spanish, Italian, French & Greek would all be good choices.

Regarding Reefcast: The podcast is a hobby, and we do it as time permits. Evan's job devours Monday through Friday, and his weekends are pretty busy as well. Weekends are really the only time we can record, and DFWMAS (my club) has taken up many of them this year (planning and execution of our Next Wave conference, and now the complete rewrite of the club's bylaws). I just talked to him yesterday about how we recorded back on Feb 10th and on March 18th the show was still undone.

I am offering a Group Buy for RO/DI units to MARSH, the club in Houston. If your club is interested in doing the same, please contact me. The price will change if you are not in Texas as there would be no sales tax, and shipping rates will need to be adjusted for your area. Here are the details for the MARSH members:

Rules of the Group Buy

After installing my second VorTech pump today, I was unhappy with how my Tunze's cord was in the way, and decided to make a small acrylic holder to tuck the wire in the corner of the tank.

Here's a picture of the pump and cord before I started this:

And once I was done, it looked like this:

Today, Robert (a DFWMAS member) and I drove down to Houston to attend Eric Borneman's Coral Identification workshop. We arrived late but got to see how corals are measured, studied and then classified until you can determine its name. Surprisingly, it is very tough to label many SPS and LPS corals accurately. He will be coming up in April to do the same workshop for our club, and I can't wait.
