So the tank is filled and all the rock is in, fish acclimated.


I am actually pretty happy with my rock work. It could be better but I'd need all the same type of rock rather than the piecemeal stuff I have now.


FTS:





Still a little cloudy after moving all the rock around today.
Flow seems good, nothing setting on the sand but no sand storms. Using ELSE mode on the Jebaos.

I think I decided to return the window screening kits and just go with egg crate. Mostly cause I'm having a heck of a time finding quarter inch mesh.


I have nothing small enough anymore to jump through egg crate. And I'm pretty much at max stocking levels. So they're likely won't be any new fish purchases until the next upgrade.


I'm not sure but I may have lost my Randal's Pistol Shrimp. I saw him for a brief second when I first started pulling live rock. Then never sighted him again. Although he may have just crawled up inside some rock. The water was salinity / PH / Temp matched when the rock went over so if he was there he likely survived. I'll have to listen for his water shots. As it was I never haven't seen him since I first added him anyway.

Well everything is in and connected, the sand storm is cleared, still have a couple pieces of coral to place, but so far so good.
