The Copperband Butterfly fish that I purchased near the end of December was finally taken out of quarantine and put in the 280g reef. During its time in the quarantine tank, it broke out with some white cottony specks that were attached to the extremities of its fins, and these finally dropped off over a 24 hour period last week. It has been eating mysis with glee during the past month, so I'm hoping it will have the energy and mass to handle the interaction with the rest of my fish now.
Good news. Both Spock and Casper decided to eat tonight. I guess all is well again.

I've been running the new VorTech pump in my tank for the past three weeks. I'd like to thank VorTech for letting beta-testers speak publicly about our impressions finally.
When I opened my box, I swear I heard angels in the heavens singing. 
Last Saturday, our club hosted Next Wave 2006. 175 hobbyists showed up to be taught by Julian Sprung(author and owner of Two Little Fishies), Robert Fenner (author and owner of WetWebMedia), Jorge Gomezjurado (owner of dracomarine.com), and Anthony Calfo (author and aqua-culturist). The day went very well, and everyone had a good time. As president of the DFWMAS, it was very important to me that everyone get the most out of it.
Evan and I are currently working on a reef keeping podcast. Simply, it is a pre-recorded internet 'radio' show. Each podcast is saved as an .mp3 file, which you can play from your computer, your ipod or other mp3 player, or even from some cellphones that can receive files from itunes.com
