I haven’t been to tcr in a while but Seascape and gateway have been getting good shipments in the last 3 weeks or so.

I got a massive red serpent from gateway and they had a gorgeous marine betta when I was in there. Do you ever stop in gateway?

I've never been to gateway actually, I keep meaning to but haven't. I guess now might be a good time. I'm not really a fan of seascape. I don't QT :eek: so I'm pretty picky about where I get my fish from.

I only have two fish! The first one came from seascape, the other was from divers den. Two healthy so far, scared to roll the dice again. I’ve gotten nice coral and the starfish from gateway. Here’s the betta they had last week and a teeny tiny clown trigger!

Received two new fish from Divers Den this morning. Royal Gramma and Exquisite fairy wrasse. The gramma looks good, but the fairy wrasse seems to have a spinal injury. :( He's not using his tail at all to swim and the tail is kind of pointing downward. I hope he makes it.

How do your like your rock from KP aquatics? Was it loaded with coralline algae? I’m contemplating ordering some for the biodiversity just not 100% sure

I love it! It looks great mixed with the live rock from my other tanks, blends right in. There is a ton of coralline, there was a bunch of orange that faded, but still lots of purple and dark red left.

The new exquisite wrasse seems to have recovered from whatever issue he was having. His tail is working now and he's the fastest fish in the tank. The new royal gramma is doing well too, and we also added a midas blenny, cleaner wrasse, and powder brown tang on Sunday. Everybody is getting along and quite active.

It looks fantastic!! Your water and glass are crystal clear. Are you happy with the amount of rock you have now that it’s all in one place?

Got the utility sink hooked up and water station moved opposite the sump room. Need to get longer RODI tubing though. Now to run plumbing to the ATO container for filling and hooking up the DOS for auto water changes!

We did something similar in our basement except our tank is just a 180. We built it into our full size bar (built at the same time so it wasn’t too bad) with shelving on either side and all the equipment in the back behind a "fake" wall so to speak. I'll see if I have a good pic on my phone.
