Is that for your night dive? That's a nice one!
Well I was going to use it for a night snorkel last night but was too tired. Maybe this evening

A person that I have never met (in laws financial advisor) is coming to my house on Wednesday to go over our old people plan. I am now freaking out because I have a coral delivery same day and have to clean the tanks so they are presentable. Looks like I am gonna take a half day to make sure everything is presentable. Made a new rock piece for the new frags. Need to add some more bits but it didn't end up fitting where I wanted it to go. They never do though. Crappy pic for reference.

You may think the pic looks crappy, but I see a beautiful tank and a plump, happy trigger.

Elvis is living up to his name to be sure. Plan is to clean the glass today. Then I'll get a better pic with no back light and shadow.

Evaporation has been a challenge so I switched out the mesh lids I had on the right and left sides with the original glass lids. This will cause ph to dip even lower, so added a big bubbles to the sump to help with gas exchange. @fishguy242 taught me this trick last winter.

Po is still blinking 200. Meh. A squirt of emimi po every morning hopefully will bring it down. Coral delivery today. Finished my new scape addition last night for them. Then interview for part time gig at noon (scuba trip) then financial advisor meeting at 4 to tell us what we need to do so I can retire early and still go on said scuba trips then my first dnd meet up this pm. Thank goodness it's a long weekend for me.

Holds 7 frags in holders. 1 I'm not sure will work due to the angle but there are other places I can put them.

Delivery received. Inside of cooler was wet and hot pack wet and cold. Giving them 20 min in the sump before I start dipping. The all looked good though so fingers crossed.

Tested yesterday. Po was down after the original lanthanium dose. Now it's creating back up again. Clam is looking iffy. Sening in icp test tomorrow. Something is still not right. Lost 3 of 8 new coral base up stn, the torch, my pink frogspawn is ticked too. Starting to feel disconnected from the hobby for some reason. Winter blah maybe? Office tank is still kicking but lost everything but nems and clowns. Need to get rid of all the nems they suck up any nutrients. Could dose there too I guess. 5g ok. Shrimp and goby are cute. Got feeder for them.
Tomorrow is camera check and fill the feeders. We leave Saturday am.

Hang in there spring will be here soon. If your not into snow sports winter just plain sucks. If your into snow sports it gets cold and doesn't snow so it still sucks.
This is why we do a vaca every year during this time. Recharge the batteries. First game for the Indians is March 27. So only 2 more months.

They're just so much cheaper through him though. I can always make a basket over $75 to qualify for free shipping. And to buy the same CUC at my LFS would be $120+ so it's usually worth it for me unless I only need 2 or 3 snails.
