Yeah Memorial Day weekend is a busy one. Have a blast!!

Here is the build thread for my two tanks. Definitely been a wild journey with the ups and downs of dialing in a new system. https://bareefers.org/forum/threads/therealmadmax-monster-tank-build.31172/

Blenny are definitely jumpers. I lost two in my open top 180 before deciding that was not the fish for that tank.

We can sing you happy birthday!

Somewhere around there. A 180 and 480 ish display tanks, sump is pretty big too as well as a 50 gallon grow out tank.

One issue I ran into when deploying large WC to deal with high phosphate levels was nutrient deficiency. A lot of my feeding is automated so when doing a number of WC events all the coral started to suffer.

Welcome to da club! I love all the softies in your tank! Those I absolutely struggle with. SPS do amazing in my tank, but LPS I’m drawn to like a moth to flame …

I’m down. In Los Gatos. Maybe Robert can come too as he loves to have BAReefers critique his work

With those fish I wouldn’t worry about any of them jumping. I have a bunch of similar ones in an open top rimless tank without any issues. As others pointed out getting glass or acrylic lids to cut down on evaporation is something you might look at but I wouldn’t worry about those fish.

I thought they were plants? ...... Says just about everyone who comes and checks out my tank for the first time :)

Glitterbomb is still super pricy. I got a small frag about a year ago that has turned into a nice sized colony. Looks amazing in the flow!

Welcome to da club!!!

My high school son has a freshwater tank. Since getting a girlfriend the tank maintance has dropped off a bit and all the fish and plants are mostly still happy. So much more forgiving than our saltwater tank where keeping everything in check requires constant diligence.

I’m happy to be part of a South Bay tank tour.

We went Sunday, Saturday in Disneyland! Definitely need an appointment, sometimes someone from the business as well. Most of the fish for the US market are imported in through LA so some large operations running.
