Nice shots!

Took the UV out for a while so I could use the basket and sock etc... looks like the dinos started to come back so I swapped out the basket and put the UV back in... Not working as quickly but hoping i dont get another dinos break out...added some extra snails and CUC also to hopefully help keep diatrus down and what not. Always something

Been a couple years since I updated tank. Just wanted to say I’m very pleased with this 24k Leptoseris I got at HIGH TIDE AQUATICS in Oakland over the weekend. Thanks for all you do Kenny @hightideaquatics

 

[Coral reefer]

I think I recognize that one!

Im on a reset tank midway situation… gonna clean it all out and then add the live rick and sand back slowly so i get a much better scape. The question is what fish should i be getting ? Its a 40g tank… i definitely want a cool goby…

Went to HIgh Tide today and painted my future control board black and picked up my empty 40g from Kenny. It’s time to get shit cracking again… Also my AF Bio sand arrived

Dwarf angel for sure-they look pretty neat and do a great job on algae.

Let’s see the ‘scape!

Coming soon! Still working on set up. Here’s my control board laying out options

The scape is being a reality. Got a little floor cave for my pistol shrimp/goby ready to go. Thoughts?

I'd definitely fill it with water before adding the shrimp and goby!

Control board ready for some hinges and to get wired

Looks good as long as you get good flow through the gaps
