Patience
I feel your pain CB, losers lose. I'm a Pirates and Raiders fan. I know the feeling.
They beat this team like 12 times . It’s like the teams on a break . Frustrating is the word .
 
So this is the small amount I added to my cube tank. The list includes the three hammers & a frammer, the torch on top, the Elegance in the back right, the bernardpora/goni in the back left & the willow toadstool on the top left hand side of the rock. One of the hammers heads was bleached it looks like & another has almost no flesh band so we will see if it pulls through! The elegance coral looks so nice though. Going to take photos of my other tank.

Wow, Thomas, great haul, looks beautiful!

Can't win them all. Or in our case even half of them most of the time.
 
So in this tank the new frags are the exosphere zoa, the blue tip Frammer in the back, two sets of acans, the three hammers & another torch + ORA red goni (the torch & ORA Goni are not happy but I moved the torch around a lot and will update if its still not happy tomorrow, it may be getting too much direct flow), & last but not least I have the 3 Acros (two RR Pink Floyds & one POTO Boomerang).

I increased my flow a lot and also moved one Nero 3 to the back left lower part of the tank and moved the front left one more towards the front. I still have them on pulse with Parent & child relationship but may change them to random and make them independant. I think part of the issue is the front left one pushes water into the other side glass and puts a lot of one directional flow for the torch but I will have to wait & see how it looks tomorrow.

Just kicked my 4 year old out Kevin! His room is all yours. It's the smaller room, but there's a chance my 9 year old would shank me if I tried to kick HIM out.

This is really weird . The second string just brought them back from 30 deficit to within 4 at 5:42

I've had a ****e day. Nothing seemed to go right and I'm sick of it. Being a functional adult is nonsense and I'm going to quit.
I feel you on that.

Please please tell me that there is a Lightning McQeen bed in there! Not a game changer though.
 
I am still trying to figure out how to take better pictures as well. Sometimes they turn very orange and other times they look nice. Uploaded how the torch flows in the first tank. Its not too much but i may just leave it for now.
