Been a bit since I updated.

Believe it or not, I moved the tank… again.

I have had a few LPs lost. Notably my og rainbow blasto, and raging rhino pectina. Both I will attempt to replace later.

Also lost my plate in the move. It got covered in sand, but had sold the momma with all the babies. So the local reefer has a frag ready for me.

Lost my peppermint that was eating my aiptasia. Still had one, b it it looks like clear glass and doesn’t eat aips. Just got two more.

Leads me to the fluval 15 gal that has been modified with a ext overflow. It’s so nice. Going to plumb it into the main tank to house and breed a pair of clowns!!!!

Will easily be added to my sump.

Thought I’d it will fill with aiptasia and I can get some betghia and have some fun. Hopefully the shrimps handle the few in the tank for now.

Added copperband, six line, fox face, tang (forget name, lawn mower blenny, and a engineer goby (who was added 2 days ago and not been seen)

Done with the boring stuff:

I must get a better filter for my phone camera.. sigh.

Here is the new clownfish breeding setup!

Got a big incoming order from bulk reef.

Refreshing my KZ suppliments

ATO broke, and decided to bite the bullet and get a hydros control system, the ATO, and wave maker light. I also ordered a newer xf350 to replace the current Nero.

Replacing a COR15 with a Vectra S2 pump. It has been basically just pushing head pressure at 100 percent for months. I cleaned it several times.

Got a quiet one pro 3000 for the fluval flex. I’m praying i sized it well. Got appropriate braided tubing as well.

Got a 360x to go in middle of the 180 where the lights isn’t getting. Excited to have a kessil to shimmer along with the radions. Big kessil fan.



For a fun note….. 7 shrooms, 1 shell (8 if you count the one already crawling down the back)

Some fun pics of a couple new pieces!!

Have been working hard at steering the tank back to optimum health! Everything seems to be doing well (except the one plate that is loosing its skin fingers crossed for babies)

Also… yesterday was moving some frags and placing them after finally getting some water weld.

Car has been out for a bit.

Wanted to move my mythical bounce and I discovered it had already taken ahold onto the rock. I also put if far to down and at an angle and didn’t want my mother colony sliding into the dirt.

So in all my glory, I just cut it. My stomach is still in knots about it. Was a very fast spur of the moment decision.

Here we are 24 hrs in. I know it’s gonna be fine, but still….

Can see the frag at the top and the missing spot on momma.
