Roasted pork loin....
Simple, no mess
Oh yes and a plate of bacon behind the green bottle Cameron....
We had hummus and cheese with pita crackers and a bowl of fruit chased with a yellow can of La Croix Tangerine.
 
Ok everybody update.
Serpent star is fine he disappeared which is a bit creepy.
Turbos seem to be alright but the two Mexicans are hyper extended like the last ones I had.
Ceriths all good
Ox tounges great
Finally chitons... Unknown one is dead for sure but the other I have 0 idea, he dosent smell but he doesn't move either.
They move super slow, just wait and see if he leaves a trail of clean rock

Yep. I have an air pump with 2 outlets, so I figure I'll try to do 2 different strains, 2 gallons each
Agreed. I think it's best to isolate strains for culture. You can then mix when adding it to your system.
 
Thank you I am ok, I was doing testing this morning. The new tank is already above 0.6 on phosphate. Now I have to work, waiting for the week end. You all good?
Yes, Remi, everything is good here. I'm at about. 2 to .4 consistently. And I passively run phosbond in the rear chamber. My corals are happy, and so am I.
 
@Remi are your hammers still looking as great as they were ? Mine got tangled in a bit of coral warfare
Photo as 1 min ago. Only 1 on the front with 2 heads not as fluffy as usual otherwise it is ok.
