Damselfish Garden, Endangered Staghorn Corals

Good morning all, how was your weekend out there?? I pretty much just laid around feeling tired after doing an 80k mountain bike ride Friday with the Dutch Navy and Army guys and gals, talk about an “in shape” group of people! We started at 7:00am from the airport and rode a giant loop that took around four hours and half of it was through mud and water sometime up to a meter deep! Sounds fun right?? I have a new “coral problem” for you all today that I found last Thursday out on our house reef.

Friends and Family

Involving friends and family with your hobby is on the wish list for many. Rewarding as it is, it can be hard for others to understand your passion entirely.  Having the support of your significant other goes a long way to make your hobby even more rewarding than it already is. Some of my closest friends just happen to be fish nerds just like me.  I met most of them on forums and over the years, we developed a friendship that has it’s roots in a common passion.  I think we all have that well meaning friend that thought your fish seemed extra hungry while you were away, and you came home to a jungle of algae. Friends that are not in the hobby are

Coral Reef Scene, Sea Fan

Good morning all, yes I know, long time!! Well, we have lots going on these days, we had the Smithsonian here for two solid weeks and that kept me busy around the clock plus we are crazy busy getting our house packed and ready to leave Curacao. I had to fly to Miami last week for one day to get us a car and put it in storage and then race back here the same day, that was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I’m still riding a lot trying to maintain my 100 miles a week but the weather has been really horrible!

Eshopps piques our curiosity with new EID Line

What is Louie up to over at Eshopps?  Earlier today he hit us up with a little teaser for a new product design that we’ll be seeing in the future.  It is being referred to as the Eshopps Intelligent Design (EID)™.  By all accounts this new and revolutionary design will be a real game changer. For now, we will just have to patiently wait and see what the good folks at Eshopps have in store for us.  The only other clue that I can pass on at this time is the awesome looking photo right above.  We are hoping that Louie will shed some more light on this in the coming days.  We expect a new product release to come sometime around the holiday season.
