Still beautiful John. Love the tall look

Thanks my friend. I realized I had to use that vertical space in the cube. Then I started loving sandbed corals lol

You have one near a beach. No pouting.

Haha ok that's fair. Your Christmas pictures will be way better than mine though.

Good morning everyone. Nice looking skies over the Back Bay Bridge, coming into work this morning

Busy day here been down to feed the horses and spent about an hour grooming them and just being with them. Its a nice cool morning and it was so peaceful listening to the birds sing and the horses eat. Now I'm getting ready to head over to their main pasture and help my husband put up fence to extend the pasture more. Hopefully if that doesn't take too long then we are going to a gun show and to get groceries and horse feed.

This’ll be very different than what I’ve posted musically. I love watching anime and this is from the ending credits of a favorite of this season. Enjoy. Or not…

I love it because it's uniquely you! The best.music is the music that stirs us. That's what I really love to see, someone playing what they love.

So tell about you new tank..

It's just a 50 gallon AIO that im using as a frag/growout tank. I plan on keeping the system simple and will use as many natural components as I can. Luckily I have two mature systems around the house that I can use to help start a quicker cycle. Im still planning out how Im going to design the system behind the back wall

I’m definitely picking up a few Leptostearis . Pick from this morning. Tweaked to look like it does in the tank color and intensity wise.

Just a note on the music selection. I started with some of their op or ed of a few of my favorite anime and then picked by finding a song and scrolling from the list that pops up under a playing piece while on my phone. Made for a very random but enjoyable (to me at least) ride.

While it isn't 100% necessarily my thing per se, I was glad to see it. We can play anything we want during the day. Afterdark is your time to mix it up a but!

In my opinion, it makes for a much more authentic experience then picking "themes" based on phrases or a word that someone happens to say
