Thank you hopefully you all like🪸🐠
Awesome freshie tank/s. I used a 90 for a little over a year as a discus tank til I had an accident happen and lost everything. Then it had new life as a reef for the last 2 amd a half years at the place I was living at. Right now I’m limited for space and renting a standard lease( the one that I had the biggie was a sublet on a condo) so I’m at 25,” gallons at the moment.

Morning Steve !
 
Tank looks a bit better today gonis not great but looking like they want to live. Took some shots before taking off. Amd wouldn’t you know it. Darned ReefRivals torch showed. I’d completely forgotten in my excitement about the movie. Right now it’s in a closet away from drafts. Should be fine til I get home.

Absolutely beautiful Steve!
Yes I was very upset when I lost the tank in what looks like a hypoxia situation when the AIO pumps died suddenly, apparently overnight while I slept on a day off
