Chicken to glue...

Did some landscaping instead. Pulled out an old weedy garden with a 2" layer of clay from the fence-posts sandwiched between 2 layers of landscape fabric... shoveled out the clay then roto-tilled the bed and applied sod.

Replaced my Curve 5 with an RSK-300.
Saw it on ebay at a good price and want to try their DC skimmer controller. I'll work on getting the ReefRun controller and DC pump, cap & sensor upgrade later.
The Curve 5 just wasn't cutting it. I should have probably looked for an RSK-600 instead.

Also took out my ReefWave45 and soaked/scrubbed it. It was covered in bubble algae. Cant' wait to put the yellow-line foxface in the frag tank.

Also was stn-ing some corals in the frag tank so I checked out the ReefWave and found that from 10 in the morning to 8 at night it wasn't running... So I changed my password for that and re-did my schedule.

Also chipped 2 more patches of the invasive Palys off some frag tank rock and put them in the 'QT' tank.
Just one more large patch to go.
