What are the small clear bubbles on the rock?

Just gas being released by the diatoms, not sure if it's O2, or Nitrogen gas. All diatoms are pretty much gone at this point though.[emoji106]

Outstanding dude! Of course, I really dig the minimalist look. The rock on the left is bad ***! Well done.

Thanks Chris! I love my rock work too. It's was inspired by Chris' Algae Farm. The island on the right is pretty cool too. Pics don't do it justice. It has some cool little caves and a really cool little chasm in it. Thanks for the compliment.

Got my AquaForest products and my new Reef Octopus Classic 202-S skimmer last night. First dose of BioS this morning. I need to fabricate a stand for the skimmer today. Need some egg crate first though.

Will have to keep a better eye on this ;)

Figured I would fix a few of my photo issues for you all.

Love it!

Thanks Rev, and happy Birthday!

Gosh you guys are demanding! @Fudsey under the hood shots.... Well under the floor shots for you.

DIY Rapid LED lighting system from my last set up, skinned in oiled mahogany.

Soon to be QT tank... This tank is my first reef tank 29gal tall repurposed now for the third time. It's been with me for must be 18 years.

@Chriscrna for you my fellow murse (male nurse for those of you not in the biz)
Full lighting

Now with blue channel off

 

[Chriscrna]

Oh yeah! You know the old saying.......Murses who reef together, well......ok, not much of a saying......we are still murses.

But the light coverage looks good. Perfectly placed over each island. Any thoughts on a floating canopy?

I won't ask or demand anything, I'll just say your tank turned out fantastic. Congrats and you should be very proud!

I thought about it in the initial design phase. But after I opened up the wall the open space was so nice I decided against it. Having the open area in the space adds a lot of openness to the layout of the house. So no floating canopy like yours. I do have some really nice mahogany, walnut, and maple that would make a really nice fixture.

I was joking come on now[emoji6] lol! I am very proud of how it is turning out. Truly my dream tank only 1/100 the size. Thanks for the great compliment. Now to start adding livestock after the holiday weekend!

 

[Fudsey]

Looking GREAT @fragit ! ! !

This is for my reference, as a reminder of fish I like/would like to keep. I would love feedback on any or all of these fish from you all, as I have not kept about 1/2 of this list before. I think I should be pretty well set up to keep all of these fish once my fuge is well populated, and I am able to collect a variety of frozen foods.

Fish List
3 x Chalk Bass
3 x Randall's Anthias
1 x Lamarck's Angelfish
1 x Copperband Butterflyfish
2 x Firefish
1 x Red Mandarin
