Ok, so I had a ton of photos that I took with the video clips for the Marine Depot video and a bunch of them didn't get used, so I figured I'd share some of those!
Fun angled FTS from March 12, 2016

I also took some photos of the sump and equipment. A few of these got used in the video, but I wanted to share them again since I don't photograph the sump often. Its dirty, but oh well! I wanted people to be able to see how my system is set up.

Thanks! The sump is a mess, but I just don't see the need to spend hours scrubbing it when no one really sees it. It has lots of fun coralline, macro algae, breeding limpets, and pineapple sponges

@FeliciaLynn she told me that she's never been stung but had been bitten by her eel before.

Eel didn't get me nearly as bad as he coulda. Blind as a bat eel Came out of water while I was popping frozen food out of package up on a ladder above a tank and got me on a finger. Probably shoulda gotten stitches, I used super glue... worked pretty well!
Lion fish has been twice actually. First was full size, good penetration into a knuckle. Quickly got hand in hot water, still hurt bad like a super bee sting and swelled some. Had a weird little hard spot there for a couple years that eventually went away.
Second time was a dwarf lion that made it into an overflow box that I thought was a different fish and I reached in to get it. This one somehow wasn't nearly as bad. Maybe dwarfs aren't as bad or maybe none of them spots I got stuck were very deep, but it seemed like it got me several times and places. Maybe the hot water I used was hotter and applied faster.
