Thank you Brett. It's coming along

I love the scrubbers.
They work really well , take up zero space, (except for the air pumps which I hid in the cabinet)

Frags are all incrusting and I really need to get on the ball setting them!

So it's Friday! Start of New Years holiday weekend and I actually get 3 whole days to work on my tank.
I am looking forward to gluing frags in that I have been watching so I can carefully choose just the right spot.
I am at the top of the ladder and have glued in 2 frags and drop my 27"tongs. Of course they broke.
Fast forward to today Tuesday the 6th and my new tongs have arrived

Now, if I drop one of these, hopefully it will only dent my floor and not one of my dogs heads.

I have only glued in 4 frags in this whole vast area of reef.
So why then does this one Aiptasia decide to settle under my Oregon Torte?

beautiful tank! i would have to say that is one of the nicest collections of fish i have seen in a long time. Are any of the wrasses aggressive towards each other?

Reeferdude56. Thank you!
The tank is coming along.
The Scott's wrasse can be a stinker.
I make sure he is well fed and that seems to help somewhat plus the other wrasses just stay out of his little area.
All of my fish are extremely well fed and they do get along well.
The large reef area helps.
The re building of the reef was specifically planned out to provide for not only better flow but more open rockwork for the fish to swim in and out of.
In doing so, many rocks were turned over and I hated doing that to the nice purple coraline algae but it is already incrusting again.

I am "growing out" my male Blue Star Leopard wrasse in my office tank hoping to be able to eventually add him into my main tank with the leopard girls
