Oh well, sorry guys. I had a Chicken Pastor burrito from Chipotle tonight.
 
Good morning all, have a great day. Ok, woke up this morning and found one of my RFAs left the large rock structure, crossed the sand and planted itself on my gsp island. Now I have one on my zoa and gsp islands. Get a rfa they said, the don’t move around like other anemones?

I had a bta at the beginning and unfortunately I had to sell it because it moved every week and was disturbing the corals a lot.

Exactly why I haven’t had one. If I had a larger tank it would be different but in a 32g there is so little real estate for one to move around.

Incredible picture Kev!
Have a great day!
 
you made that??? wow!
Yes...using 8x8x16 cinder blocks and had the brick veneers made. Ordered the fire insert and gas line values from a place in CA. It is natural gas feed. I also build a bbq and smoker island to match . let me find a pic...today going to go pick up more veneer for a small wall I want to cover in bricks...

ok I found a pic of the bbq and smoker island, its natural gas also. The gray concrete is the new pour from where we added on to the back of the house and made the big patio with my friends..You can see part of the new patio roof has dark beams with corrugated aluminum cut to fit inserts that move allowing access to electrical. Ceiling has recess lights in the metal..The smaller stand alone brown gazebo has a second table under it.
