I threw down the gauntlet at the beginning of April and set the challenge of 30 posts in 30 days and with some last minute scrambling, was able to complete the task! It feels good to get that many posts out and provide my readers with some interesting topics. A definite challenge, this task brought out some great topics I had in my head and I really hope you all found them enjoyable.

Don’t worry-the well did not dry up. As a matter of fact, it has invigorated me and was great to see so many new comments and visitors and has raised the bar for the site. I plan on adding some more information on Blue-Collar Reefing as well as some DIY project roundups, showcasing a variety of DIY projects from various people. Since not everyone has the same materials available, tools, skill set or budget, having a chance to see a handful of ideas in one place is helpful to creating the project that’s right for you.

I will also focus more on vendor and manufacturer news with a few interviews in the works right now. I enjoy talking about the hobby with vendors and the excitement they bring behind their products is invigorating. I also plan on attending IMAC West in Long Beach at the end of July so there will be plenty of interviews and product news coming out then.

I have compiled the complete list of all 30 posts below so you can take a look back and catch up on posts you may have missed—enjoy!
