Don't like chicken but I baked it, trimmed it and burnt the crap out of it in a pan with salt and pepper.

looks like a brand new tank! did you congratulate those Bergh's for a job well done? do you see them at all?

It really does I know!
Yes I saw one yesterday.
I only have 4 giant aiptasia left.
I saw 3 little aiptasia yesterday but their gone today.
And they've eaten all aiptasia from the powerheads since I leave them off at night.
The whole thing is absolutely amazing and I can't believe a couple of months ago I wanted to break the tank down.
I really feels like a miracle.

Alright, what does everyone think? I cant decide if i love it, or think it looks too much like a random jumble of rocks. I also think I might be overthinking it and forgetting that once I get coral i'll never see it again haha

Yea, I think i'm sending the sand in tomorrow after work and getting the powerhead setup! Forgot an ammonia badge the other day so I'll pick one of them up after work tomorrow and if it doesn't register any, I'll keep an eye out for a fish!
