Ugh. Woke up Monday morning this last week to all but 3 of my fish dead/dying.

Still not sure what happened. The clowns were still alive but heavily breathing and swimming erratically, they did not end up surviving.

I created another thread on this forum to try and figure out what happened but no one has been able to pinpoint what happed exactly.

The silver lining here is that I am finally able to get some Nudibranchs for my Aiptasia infestation now that there are no wrasses to hunt them. I also plan on going fallow for a few months as a precondition.

Really wanting to spend some time on cords managment and fix some plumbing issue.

Been having some noise issues with my skimmer and would love to replace it with a new tunze!

Been really enjoying the growth on this Tubbs Stellata Montipora. I thought it was an encrusting coral, didn’t realize it would branch out.

Had a rouge BTA get in the middle of all my Acros. Tried taking out the rock to move him and my whole structure came down.

One of my biggest regrets is not pre planning and securing my Aquascape.

As a result, I had to redo all my scape, which was stressful and awful. But the good news is I like my new scape more than my last.

Picked up a few corals this week, really starting to get into SPS:
Oregon Tort
Hawkins Enchinata
Pink Cadillac
Perlberry
And what was sold to me as Major Lazer but I haven’t found much info on it online (still love the coloring)

Got my first order of fish from Quarantined Marine, 3 lyretail anthias and a royal gramma. Couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of fish. The anthias particularly were super healthy and active right out of shipment.

Got some cord bundles on amazon which have helped, but I definitely need a controller cabinet.

Still having issues with my skimmer and wanting to replace it.

Full tank shot, hard to get one without window glare but I’m feeling really good about how everything is looking!
