@tbrown @Imrahilwjz

Dont you guys basically have your own versions of display sumps?

I was talking with my friend @SaltRookie78 about them and I was wondering if you guys had any advice or thread links to yours.
Sort of. I have a sump underneath that isn't really for display. It has some critters that were causing problems in the display tank. I have a separate 90 gallon tank plumbed into the system which has rock, sand, and my son's white spotted hermit. It is fed by the pvc manifold which splits my returns, but its overflow is a 2" pvc pipe that goes to the display

I call it a refugium, although you could also call it a species tank. Sorry not super clear pictures

She’s lovely! I believe only Chinese emperors had them a long time ago.
That is true. I read up on them once. Almost went extinct during wars.

The photo of her in pink is her sitting in a basket on my bike. Used to only have one tether on her. Then she jumped for a rabbit. She was swinging from the basket. Now there are 2 points of attachments. 🤣
 
Baptismal party for my nephew this afternoon.
These are some of my nieces.

Ditto! We also had a Baptism party and just got home... my daughter is too young still at 2, she didn't make it past 6pm but my son danced as much as he can until he crashed lol.

Good morning Peanut I hope it goes well for you today!

With everything else going on this weekend I didn't get a chance to introduce you guys to Henry... I picks him up Saturday from the LFS and I haven't seen him since I put him in the tank until this morning so I wasn't sure he made it. My last one disappeared after a few months but I'm hoping this guy makes it.
