Nice to see Jim still working hard and using MH. Must be hard getting bulbs these days.

Hi Pat,
I still have a stock pile of 400w radium's should last for another 6 years...
By then I hope a company is still making them for us coral guys....

September update:
I am 5 months with a new Knee .... doing lots of PT, and I am please to say all is going well (thank GOD)

I did make the connection with Andrew and just recently gave him the coral.
They grew pretty large. All started sometime during summer of 2021 on 3" tiles

Last weekend, I brought a bunch coral to LFS.

With the extra space,
I did some housekeeping & mounted some coral on 3" tiles to spread things out a bit.

Next I'm going to be bringing some these colonies to the store
pink stylophora, JF bugout stylophora and montipora undata

January 2025 update

Yesterday, I brought another bucket of various coral to LFS for store.
I've been working with them building store credit for a tank swap out, and am now just about at the point where I can put it in motion.

My plans are to have them come and remove my 300 DD which is still sitting in my living room (wife not happy) & set up a new tank on the stand, and plumb it back into the fish room below.

I am thinking on doing something a bit different- like a floating reef structure and more of a focus on swimming space for fish.
