Nothing too exciting- just installed a second row of DJ switches- it’s amazing how many outlets I need for a 100g tank- 30amps capable of handling 3600watts

Make sure you have a good top for 90% of them. I've had quite a few wrasses and fire fish not a whole lot to say on those guys. Had lyretail anthias for a bit the male kept killing the females so im not the biggest fan of them. Make sure you have a deep enough sand bed for the leopard wrasse they sleep in the sand and hunt pods all day. The ones I had were model citizens. Never had a yasha goby. Flasher wrasses I had were pretty good a little boisterous with each other at times but no real issues.

Someone in the fish forums asked for a pic of my Lavender Tang- not happening in the stock tank lol
Here’s a SLO Mo of her this morning eating NYOs Wild Goji- at full speed you can hardly see her

My low tech RODI/salt mixing station- $11. to implement.

Updates- the tank is delayed at least another week. Understandable considering how tricky precise cuts on a smoked glass overflow can be. I’m still hopeful I’ll have it set up in time for FFM.


Did a ten gallon water change tonight. On the system. A couple of the corals looked stressed and my large brain has been closing up. I had intermittent stray current from an old pump that is feeding the stock tank. I was heading to replace and the pump, once again, stopped leaking current. I decided to roll with it since the pump is temporary.

Here’s the stats from tonight-
1.025
76.5 degrees
10.5 dkh
500 calcium
.15 nitrate
.15 phosphate

Those numbers are spot on for my system. I’m going to feed the corals tonight and re-access tomorrow. Happy Saturday night reefing.

First pics of the new tank- panels are cut, bottom panel drilled, and the smoked glass overflow’s fabricated.
