Update: removed more pieces of rock, somehow it looks the same as before, lol. I moved a few things, I have a lot more room on the right side now which is nice.
I brought the salinity down from 1.033 to 1.029. Probably get it down to 1.026 by tomorrow.
Scrubbed some algae away and everything is looking much better. Clam keeps getting aiptasia on it for some reason. Ordered some Joe's Juice, I'll do some killing when it gets in.

While neither list the ingredients (don't have to by law, stupid, but true), Joe's Juice IIRC pulled a patent so you can patent search and find out.
Jeremy the website must not be updated then?:

If true PA can get in trouble for sending it to California.

MD states it can not be sold to anyone in California. I bet they would if they could. Sounds like PA is either not aware (no excuse and still illegal) or doesn't care.

Did some massive maintenance today on the tank, so I decided to snap a few pictures. Lots of gunk flying around in the tank from moving stuff around, so you'll see spots everywhere.
I cleaned all the pumps, totally disassembled the skimmer to clean and pull out baby trochus snails... actually mostly just pulled millions of snails out of pump impellers all day. Reloaded GFO/Carbon, and all that good stuff. Took like 3 hours =P
Anyway, on to the photos

Hey Art,
Nice tank, looks a little familiar lol
Is your chiller still in the cabinet? Do you have a fan to exchange air in the cabinet? I'm wondering if it is able to do it's job efficiently in a closed space. After lots of consideration, I've chosen to keep my chillers outside of cabinets and find they work much less hard to produce the same temperature drop. I too keep anthias (two survivors out of an original 5 juvenile Lyre Tail anthias) and feel great that I'm able to provide for their special needs. I also had a couple porcelain crabs that looked a lot like yours and love to watch them waving their filter claws from their perch. One of mine resided in a duncan colony until it disappeared. I almost bought two more yesterday when I visited Neptune just because they are so cool.
Great work, Art. I also enjoyed reading your blog a bit. What do you do in all your spare time

Hey, yup, the chiller is still in the cabinet. It fits so nicely, I didn't want to take it out =) My stand is open back, so it's not too bad inside. I'd imagine it'd be better outside the stand, but I've never had any problems with it working too hard. The house is usually cool, even in the summer, so I'm not too worried. If I lived in south bay, I'd definitely have it somewhere else.
