I’ll look into those. Some big tanks do get really up there in glass thickness but mines is a 65gl. They might just work. Thank you for the heads up.

So my tank is darn near perfect (to me) still a film algae issue on the sand bed. I been cleaning it up by using a turkey baster and getting it up in the water so it gets filtered out my overflow. I unfortunately do scare the fish when I make the mess. Had my first casualty. My Royal Gamma K.O.’d. Pretty sure it was like the 3rd fish in this tank. Going to miss it. Pretty sure all I need is my two fighting conchs and the sand bed will be all good though. Fish store has been out of them lately.
Here’s some pics tho:
Full tank shot, I impulse bought a coral pack from a FB group and am splitting it with my cousin. So the sand bed is cluttered. I have commitment issues with glueing things to the main rock work now so I will take the removal frag plug holders approach with my own twist eventually.
Wanted to try Gonnis and well AC had 3 color options for 25$ each. Bought the green one May 25 and since it fluffed nicely I got the pink one June 5. So far so good.
My little easy SPS section. Need to get one of those fluffy Acros that look impossible to keep in sloppy parameter swing setups. Just to try…
Mushroom dump section.
Lastly, two fragswaps ago @DaddyHook arrived late and I managed to grab his Sunkist Bounce mushroom! It started to split like crazy. During my tank crash I had like 6x maybe 3 inches wide. They slowly started to shrivel and disappear unfortunately. Only 4x survived. From dime size to now some quarter size. These are two that are making a comeback. My biggest one took a turn for the worse last week out of no where. Not pictured but it’s stable atm.

Well it’s been a month and a fragswap since the last update. Going to try to be quick with plenty of pictures as always!
First, the fragswap was awesome, really nice to see username matched faces. Didn’t see everyone I interact with but did see a few familiar faces.
Going to start something new and just put the Jar names of the corals I got during the rounds that way members know a little part of their tank is carrying on in my tank. Thank you to everybody who participates and makes the exchange worth it in true generosity:
All the corals I got from the swap are alive and well. I gave 6x corals to the swap and 1DBTC. I also gave 2x reefer buddy’s a ton of frags/ doubles I had the day of the swap. I also have added 2 Tiger Conchs and 3x Nas snails CC”. I haven’t done anything to clean the snand bed or rockwork in weeks! (No more film algae). Enjoying the white sand while it lasts lol Here’s a full tank shot and you can see the difference since my last update:
DiY rock work frag holders update:
The day before the fragswap I made 3x main rockwork holders (1st pic). 1 lesson I learned, is think of the angle the plug will be at because the two front holders in the first pic are facing the same direction and it annoys me. Although some frags are glued at angles and you can rotate them. Also shout out to @gmdcdvm because I had the idea after seeing your tank first lol
The bad: Gonnis went south a week after I posted about them. Only the green one is pulling through. Both closed up out of the blue. I did move them to higher spots in the frag holders I made (my cheap lighting). Only the green one responded well and liked the higher PAR. Also not bad to me but to others. I got some Xenia!! Love it, can’t get it to pulse lol Other bad news is I do realize my tangs are getting big but upgrading to a bigger tank was always the goal (Tang Police have Mercy). I’ll see how stable I keep things this time around to deserve the upgrade. Have to start testing parameters soon too.
Lastly some detail tank pics:
Thanks for reading!!
