Is mainly the glass that hasn’t been cleaned.
We’ll be adding a gate valve to dial the drain properly.

Updated photos after cleaning the glass. Still a little murky but getting there

Also this is just a temporary light. We are putting an ati hybrid on it but the controller needs to be replaced so will be using this one for 3-4 weeks until it arrives

So happy, the controller arrived for the ATI T5 LED hybrid arrived and Mario helped get it setup and installed (he did it all).

Brought a damsel and my yellow tang down and it’s looking amazing. Super excited to start adding some frogspawn, mushrooms and zoas this week

I hope those wheels lock, hope the tank doesn't roll around if we get a earthquake.

The 150 build is really starting to come together. Spending the quarantine time getting the tank stocked and ready for prime time when hooper is back open.

Just added an amazing bta from Oliver with Bar, some GSP, a really nice elegance from aquatic collection and a couple of mushrooms from the home tank. Currently have a yellow goby, ocellaris, blue tang, yellow tang, blue damsel and fox face. And added another 8 hermits and 4 turbo snails plus a bonus brittle star from the GSP from Oliver.

Really hoping to get this filled out with more softies and lps before the baby comes in July. If anyone wants to trade some sanitizer for frags hit me up please!

Definitely can get you some softy frags if you want, off the top of my head some vietnamese zoanthids, they're nothing special but not like they're brown or anything, also have some ROYGBIV rhodactis mushrooms can put in there.

That would be amazing. I’m definitely thinking zoa gardens on the bottom with shrooms sprinkled between frogspawn and hammers. I’ll dm you to meet up!

I would never sprinkle in shrooms between anything. They don’t play nice.
