Good morning all!
It's been a busy weekend.
We tore the deck out in the back of the house to have a bigger patio poured and new deck put on.
Added a pic of the clowns loving their herectis magnifica.

Good morning Keith, you’ve been a busy bee!
 
Forget the radions. I literally cannot afford them. Instead Im gonna go with RedSea 90 led. Two of them. Has all features I want!
 
@BubblesandSqueak , I got one also that I’m just waiting to color up. :winking-face:

I have a bunch but just one is ripening. I had to put them outside because they were getting too big in the greenhouse. I have lots of peppers but I need to water them more and I think turn down the sun. Maybe break out the plant ATO.

Ya, I saw yours was way ahead of mine, just trying to be competitive.
 
If I get my lights soon I might buy a torch from SBB as I've got 75$ from gift cards.
Just gotta find a way to pay for shipping lol

yeah, that's another $40. I'd wait till you can get a few corals from them to make the shipping cost more worth it.
 
It’s going to be hard to find fault with this Paul. Double bacon, tomato, lettuce and mayo.
