One of the happiest days I have had in a long time. The worlds best fiancé, Ashley Price, surprised me with a Red Sea Reefer 350. I received a telephone call telling me to run to the house to sign for a shipment. A large freight delivery company dropped off a pallet wrapped in black tape. It is addressed to Ashley and I can see it’s from an aquarium store –fish tanksdirect.com. I removed the black wrap to expose a sight I had only dreamed about. I soon learn this is my Father’s Day gift from Ashley, Adrien and Taylon. I admit I am undeserving of such a gift but I will not relinquish it.

I went to Pets Unlimited where I purchased 22lbs of dry rock, 40lbs of CaribSea Geo-Marine Aragonite Florida crushed coral and 20 lbs of Caribsea Fuji Pink live sand. ($140)
I received a Bulk Reef Supply delivery of a OCTO Regal 150-INT protein skimmer. Another undeserving gift from Ashley. ($521.24)
The tank was set up and filled with water. I used the remaining salt I had before buying Fritz high alkalinity salt. ($50)

Added corals taken from Biocube and 2 clownfish with an anemone. Also added multiple bacteria products.

I have been battling cyanobacteria after trying to get my nitrates above zero. After heavy feeding and even dosing nitrates I think I’m getting to the end of the cyanobacteria battle.

A great Reefer friend, Mike Cormier, gave me another large head of hammer corals. I created a floating garden for them in center of tank.
