Guess what?  You can see my reef tank 24/7 now with my new live streaming tank cam!  Oh, and there's an art show coming up and of course I've included a photo of Bevo.  Read on to find out details!

Well, I have an update to the temp spike and a few photos to share. 

When I installed the Apex, I thought it was cool to have a pH probe along with the temp probe, ORP (oxygen in water) and salinity.  I figured since I was switching from 2-part dosing to Kalkwasser it was also handy to monitor pH spikes which can happen if Kalk isn't dosed properly or dosed too quickly.  I set up the probe and kept the standard alerts for high and low range and called it a day.   I never imagined the pH probe would literally save my tank.  Keep reading to find out what happened, how I plan on keeping this from happening again and what I learned.

So much has happened since I last posted!  Ok, not really.  But 2018 did show up, I did add the largest meat coral I've ever seen to my reef tank, I got a good photo of Iko on Christmas, I have a list of events for 2018 where you can buy reefweeds art, Bevo is still cute and I can't wait to see what 2018 has in store! 

I'm really excited for my friend, Scott Crowe's Expo, the Keep On Reefing Expo. I've been helping him out with some of the marketing and such and have really been enjoying it.  OH!  And there's only 60 more days until the Northeast Frag Farmer's Market.  I have a LOT of painting to do.Keep reading to find out more!

As the year comes to a close, I always find myself reflecting on the year quite a bit.  2017 was a pretty darn good year!  I started painting UV reef-inspired art.  I have found a renewed passion in the hobby with this new build.  I've made some really good friends thanks to this hobby!  

New tank inhabitants, new paintings and even some videos!
