Jimmy is.
 
I use to rent a place that had a massive screened in porch and I had a big hammock hung in it and there were many Spring/Summer nights I fell asleep on the hammock listening to the storm and enjoying the breeze.
totally understand....when I added on the back of the house, girl wanted a huge entertaining patio so we built a 25x35 with 16 foot ceilings
 
All are out and about and ate well and in addition to the food the tang has been eating nori.
That is awesome! I would love a video or more pictures of you get a chance.

I’m struggling to get good pictures, the ones I posted yesterday were with orange lense. Still to blue to see the colors. If anyone has some suggestions on how to get better pictures I would appreciate it.
 
Been thinking about getting my clowns another anemone. They still hover a lot around the rock where the last one was that died for some reason I can't figure out. The last one was a bubble tip are there others that are pretty that you guys would recommend? The LFS about an hour and a half from me had what I think was some kind of carpet neme that had clowns hosting it in one of their display tanks last time I was there.

Maybe adjust the colors of your lights for pictures then put them back at the normal setting?
 
cup number 2...and now I am free of taking those 2 meds that messed me up...this last one is ok, just take at night but been waking upp at 3 or 4 am now....
changed out all the bathrooms air/humidity fans yesterday to ones that use a 6 inch tube, installed new 6 inch tubes so when i redo the roof next month I can just cut a bigger hole and pull them through and air cap them..
They are so quiet and have color lights with blue tooth speakers....now I can shower with amazon rain forest jungle sounds...loll

Love the blue tooth idea! I have a Google speaker in my bathroom because I love to listen to music in the shower. I keep telling my husband I want to remodel the bathroom and put in a really nice big shower with those rainfall shower heads.

I'm excited to see your big tank come together! Do you have a build thread already for it?
