Thanks Chris, :)

While Cindi and I did have a chance to put a few miles on Gracie over the summer, my absence is do to business commitments that included a great deal of travel. The tank still...

Recovering a lost/dropped regulator is a basic task taught to every diver. If the regulator were damaged, as Binford stated, a spare is strapped to your side. That said; it was an incredibly stupid...

I agree, I'll need a larger CaRx. I've been researching trying to decide on a large GEO, or perhaps the SRO-CR5000D.

Unfortunately I am STILL waiting on the replacement tank. GLA had indicated it...

No worries Doug, we try to get together once a month - especially since I believe our next event isn't until MACNA.

Great company, conversation, food and drink. Looking forward to the next TREAD gathering :)

Another great swap - Great seeing everyone and a bunch of new additions to the frag tank.

Happy Swap and TREAD Day!

I'll be arriving at 10:00 and most likely staying until the swap starts (or until the beer runs out - whichever occurs first)

I try to find the most beer-centric venues for TREAD events, but most are not open on Sunday Morning. The Road house has a pretty respectable beer list including a few of my favorites. Here's the tap...

The bar at the swap is closed this year - Come join us for a Pre-Swap Libation

While I ponder putting a CaRx on the grow-out tank, Picked up larger, 2.5 gallon jugs to use for 2-part. This should provide up to 45 days between refills...

I think I might need to change my plans for Ca and Alk supplementation on the grow-out tank. It's a 100 gallon stock tank, holding ~70 gallons. It's currently stocked with about 100 pieces including...

I've got a few weeks remaining before the replacement tank is delivered, so I started to lay out the equipment in the sump and estimate the plumbing and electrical runs. I installed 32' of...

I wouldn't worry about a pound-a-gallon Jamie. I've used far less than the 1:1 ratio, in fact I've had tanks with no LR whatsoever, using Marine Pure spheres or plates instead. Assuming you have...

I was hoping I'd be posting photo's of my newly delivered tank at this moment, but it was not to be.

Delivery of the stand and sump went fine. When the tank was brought in and placed on the stand,...
