I also love tattoos so I decided to show my sleeve off.

Morning photo dump. It’s been a bit since I posted. How is everyone doing? Any tips on getting engagement on my build thread? I guess it’s the perfect setup because no one responds?

Had a battle with bryopsis when I got out of the hospital. Had to use fluconozole. Unfortunately lost my orange passion, fortunately I had a buddy that offered me a piece! I have added some more coral, and mounted several frags, I will post pics later. Finally got around to pulling my skimmer and cleaning up the siezed pump. I still plan to replace my return pump with a Sicce I purchased awhile back, but that is a project for another day as I am still recovering medically. Here’s a vid for fun.

Working here, tank looking good. Awesome a buddy stepped in, I try to pass my frags around as insurance

Just ordered all the stuff to turn the old 40 breeder into a zoa farm system. Updates to come soon.

Been back in the hospital for a week now. I may lose my colon. So demoralizing to want to work on my tank but can’t. Fortunately I have a nephew and an Apex so tank has been fine for the most part. Lost a couple sticks on the racks for unexplained reasons.
