.... with help.

My used noop light is out for delivery so I'm waiting on mounting those power bricks until the last one is here. Hopefully I can get it to sync up with the others without too much trouble. It's been so long I'll have to remember...

Got the third noop light up, by the grace of God. I have no idea how I eventually got them to sync because things were not going well at first....

Anywho, BEHOLD! LIGHT!

The things.

Love, LOVE the new mushroom. The zoas will contrast and mix in nicely on the zoa rock. The yellow hammer is nice too, little worried about the acro though. Hopefully she pulls through. It's peeling a little, started yesterday, but didn't completely go overnight. When the lights are on more I'll judge of I just iodine dip it or cut and reglue.

Despite my best efforts and vet care I lost the little turtle.

Tortoise/turtle forum blames the breeder, vet thinks he was too young to ship and stress brought on whatever he was already exposed to environmentally.

My research did tell me that hatchling survival rates are low, even without the stress of shipping so it may have gone that way no matter what.

Will try again but with an older "well started baby" or juvenile so 6mo-1yr.

Don't know where to look anymore. The one I went with has a bad reputation on the forum, which I wish I would of pre checked that. I found a handful of reptile websites, but cross referencing those on the forums leads to not so good things to say about each of them.


Reef is great though. Need to set up the doser again and find a bigger ato container. Bit other than that it's gravy.
