had to break up a small rock yesterday. The orange bam bams were taking over the exosphere zoas. SO now they have their own rocks... Girl was NOT happy about the zoa war...lol...going to have to set up this 4x2x2 frag tank I got cheap and start sells zoas cheap.....got like over 1000 bam bams and hundereds of exospheres, green apples, bob marley, blueberry pie, aoi's, daisy cutters, god or war, kedds red, sunbeams,fruit loops, scrambled eggs, pink diamonds, and others, The girls collected these over the past few years...her tank flowers as she calls them...
 
Here's a rare whiter light pics of my tank. It's a pretty honest shot with less blue light. Goodnight good people

What in the world have you been feeding sweetlips?
 
It was so entertaining! I’ve seen them so many times but this was like a show. She changed outfits between songs while the big screen showed iconic scenes from the 70’s and 80’s. I wish the sound was better in the videos.
You can see her energy and the band is excellent. She was born for that!
 
hope ya get better soon...my girl has it too been sick for days coughing...I am fine...she seems to be getting over it.....
Its been a week now it seems like no matter how much I sleep I still feel drained.
 
Thanks, the nano cube idea came from feed back from reefers and from my friend who owns a company that sells tank stuff.
I am working on tank lids designs too.
MIght as well make use of the cnc, laser cutter and acrylic bender...
I can tell ya my plan is to sell them at affordable lower prices, if market bears prices on acrylic, polycarbonate and colored materials...maybe we should chat.. I can use a few test people out of AZ...once I make a few...
You would be helping to make the hobby more accessible for more types of tanks. Ive seen quite a few scenarios where a reefer could really use a turf scrubber, but they were cost prohibitive or just didnt exist for their tank. Please keep us posted on your progress
