Good morning all! So yesterday, after settling in and having this for brakfast
IMG_4071.jpeg

I dozed off while watching something on tv . With my earbuds in. Woke up and the earbuds had fallen out with the right hand one nowhere to be found, thinking my cat absconded with it. Ordered a relatively inexpensive pair on Amazon . Then after that I decided to relax and play a game on my MacBook Pro. Second surprise of the day. Computer got real sluggish so I saw it was at 2% even though it was plugged in. Checked battery health like Google suggested and it’s apparently on its last legs so I’ll have to look for another, most likely used or refurbished.
Now here’s the funny part. I came home, had breakfast, came to my room and fed kitty and added small doses to the tank got changed and then noticed the lost earbud sitting in plain view iron top of the comforter and it was not there when I went to work. Well I still have the other pair as back up but it’s nice to have the others for sure.

And here's a few more of the old ones. The pictures really don't do the colors justice they are much brighter and prettier in real life.

Good morning CB! Not feeling great, the Mrs. Gets home today. My boys aren’t great house keepers, I got to get the house in order for the wife. While I was gone my return pump stopped and the water level in my tank dropped below my MP-40 causing it to slide down the glass to the bottom blowing All the sand to the other side of the tank and covering all the coral on the sand bed. My oldest son fixed it but it looks like I lost a scoly and my big plate coral doesn’t look happy. It could of been much worse, thank god my son was here.

I was thinking of converting one of my tanks and doing a nem system but i was worried they would climb into Nero 3 my wavemakers. Do you have guards over your wavemakers?
Click to expand...
Thomas, it's always good to have guards as a precaution in case they wander

Anyone got any idea on what these zoas are? Just trying to figure out of they are the super fast growing ones or the ones that grow slower.

Top ones are Magicians
Bottom is kind of hard to tell... maybe Vampires in Drag? They look similar to mine, but so many zoas look similar...
