Kev, how are those lemons doing?

Flowers are beginning to fall off so lemons should be coming.

I just did a Wendy's remodel not to long ago. Fun fact, fast food joints always suck to do because they think you can remodel and entire restaurant in 2 weeks lol

And the liquidated damages they try to enforce are very friendly as well.

I use Egg Crate but my Leopard ended up on top when she was a little girl. My Diamond Goby found a way through, and my Halichoeres garnoti also went through, but she was a small girl.

Rimless or rimmed tank?

Rimmed

I've considered making a screen top for mine but the egg crate was easy and I already had it.

Neither is cheap these days.

What wrasses?

Thats what I have currently but I know momma would be pretty upset if her and the baby came out to a dead fish in the morning. Exspecially if the fish jumped out while he was by the tank.. because everything goes in his mouth right now...

I mean, egg crate can be repurposed for frag rack so not a waste

did you pollenate them? I used to use a mini paint brush. otherwise the fruit just falls off. I have a pitaya that hasn't matured enough yet but only flowers at night. Then bats are supposed to pollenate in the wold but I'll have to stay up when I see them flower.

Not sure. I like the flasher wrasses and there were some others I liked. Definitely a "reef safe" one or 3 lol

Or Eggragoracks.... I made hybrid egg crate Aragocrete shelves and racks in my tanks.

Flasher's and Fairies will find the holes in the Egg Crate. Almost guaranteed, especially if they get spooked at night.

Yea, I'm glad I only do a couple a year tops.
