Good morning!

Hope you all have a nice Sunday.

I guess there is some game on tonight. If we have the TV on it will probably be tuned to the Olympics.
Morning Chris !
 
Forgot to post this one last night. I started to mount electrical stuff while I wait on my union to finish plumbing the pump.

I’m really glad I extended the stand and added compartments on each end. This end is obviously the electric side.

This looks nice Rocky !
 
I loved the shrooms !
Me too! I remember one time I was eating lunch with the Dalai Lama, Mahatma Gandhi and Jesus. Woke up on the beach missing one of my flip flops. This was when I was stationed in Hawaii and you could find them in cow pastures.

Oh.... wait... I apologize. You mean Fungiidae.... commonly known as mushroom corals.
 
I had this gut feeling that Seattle would be up by 2tds for a win. I thought the Patriots would have put up more of a fight, but geez, their o-line makes me sad how shaky it was yesterday. Maye could never throw the ball because of how much he was getting pressured. We turned it off after the middle of the third because we just got bored with the game.
Same here. It was a boring game for sure. You're 100% right about the o line too. There was a huge discrepancy there.
 
@kevgib67 you were wondering about nems for you clown fish to host right? I have read that sometimes they will also host Goniapora. I can't remember if you have any in your tank but that could be an option for you. I'm curious to see if my two clowns will choose one of the Goniapora I'm adding.

Nope, she definitely meant the same shrooms as you. She was, after all, watching the Magic take on the Ospreys as they attacked Parrots last night.

That would be gorgeous!! Unfortunately my gonis always seem to host death. 😢

Aww man, sounds like we missed a killer opportunity for #Smorgasbordafterdark last night

They will also happily be hosted by powerheads and feeding tubes... Also corners of the tank and silicone and rocks and algae patches and sand piles and Montiporas and Stylophoras and everything that isn't an Anemone even if you have 6 Anemones in the tank for them currently...

The issue with them trying to host anything other than an anemone, is they can harm the coral. Clowns are quite aggressive when they interact with an anemone.

My hammer coral is on life support and they've now moved to my beloved Duncan..... RIP my sweet prince
 
Good morning Tim!
I jumped on the mushroom thread that Gumbies tagged us on... I laughed when I saw what "The One with Many Badges" identified it as.
I saw that. I just wish he didn't roll in and try to speak with so much authority with as often as he's wrong.
