Nice tank ! .
 
Same here. Have to stay within a budget. And all that drooling 🤤 makes my wife uncomfortable. 😋
Yes and that’s before you start looking at coral . Lol!! 🤣
 
Mine does fine with my sixline wrasse that I added last after seeing that Remi had a yellow and sixline wrasse in his tank.
I almost bought a six line for my biocube but i'm waiting. He'll be last if I do one

That looks great! I love the big stones.
 
Unlike last year no huge fight, police and pepper spray on the field after the game ended. I know, kinda disappointing.
