Progress is slow due to my injury, but thanks again to @derek_SR and Kessil for helping me with the A360XE light mount. Finally get to use the raffle winning light! It's up here temporarily while I figure out hardware, rocks, etc. I've been ghost feeding and added one trochus snail from my main system plus some hitchhiking brittle stars and an asterina from the swap.

Panamensis pods added thank you @Coral Hub (Nathan) for the raffle prizes! One bottle of them was so packed, it basically covered all the glass areas in a 140g tank to about 20 per sq inch.View attachment 62206

Picked up my first new refractometer in 20 years yesterday to the day even!

Tank is just sitting now until I'm able to drive again and pick up my rocks.

Where are the rocks located? I can see if I can pick them for you if you want.

It's a large structure currently in Kenny's sump so might be hard to transport unless you're coming down to the Mountain View area sometime. Plus I need to go into @Kensington Reefer's yard for others, but I'm pretty sure his stairs would take my leg clean off haha.

You moved to the Mountain View area? This is a bit outside my typical weekend radius, although not totally unlikely. Will keep that in mind. I have been hearing about these infamous stairs (more than the Point Reyes Lighthouse?), and the various yard finds. Very interested to see this with my own eyes.

Big shipment from Algae Barn came in Friday. They were VERY generous with free pods and phyto for the bumpy tank delivery process (not due to their own actions I must add). I used up my pod points from the tank purchase on 10x captive bred trochus and 25x cerith snails. Also picked up a Tunze magnet scraper plus some PNS bacteria to jump start things. Added 40lbs more sand too.

Today, one rock structure in thanks to @under_water_ninja and @Coral reefer plus a delivery from my parents!

Next steps are to let things cook more and figure out the lighting design.

Yellow sno first I believe. The ProBio comes only later from what I remember. I also think Ken/Hydrospace mentiond to me that the yellow sno has phosphate in it, so you might want to watch your phosphate levels with the NSW already having phosphate in it. Although one bottle will not be terrible. Are you thinking of adding Prodbio too?

I should have sold you my Tunze scraper. I have so many of them now which I am not using…
