For those with the BRS Brine Shrimp Hatchery, look what BRS just posted. Guess they figure it's a popular product.


I need to look into that

Hoping everyone's been well!
Tank is great, just confused on the next steps.

Where do I go with this tank? I can't upgrade now due to the market. (Unless a killer deal pops up). Should I just continue to live.. add cuc, corals fish etc?
Yes. That's what I'm doing. No plans on upgrading in the near anything. Keep adding corals off and on, updating CUC, and keeping fish swimming.

I have 3, one has grown very fast compared to the other 2. I am not sure when I added them. but compared to the growth of the other corals in the tank, the blue goni is the fastest growing coral I have at the moment
I will pass on goni for now. Slower growth for now

So I have a slight obsession with tiny cute things so I have to show you guys this adorable little Bluetooth speaker I bought for my office. That is a Samsung galaxy ear bud case beside it for size comparison. I didn't realize it was so small when I ordered it so I was super excited when I opened it and seen how tiny it is. It was also cheap but has great sound which is also amazing for something so small.
I also like small things. I have a tiny vase that in the spring I use for tiny early flowers.

You need one of Biotas tiny aquariums.
