I was there in the early 90s, i suspect its more expensive now lol
Flights are $1,500 one way. Hotel (increased rate for the marathon) $300 a night. Haven't booked ocktoberfest... Trying to figure that one out still.

That's a lot of coral :( lol

Demoted Bertha down off her perch to make room for some sticks.

Moved the sand bed slightly left to put the pectinia there.

Still need something to go on the bta island.

Thinking through scape movement/addition/move somethings around in prep for sticks. (Mainly monti caps)

Options....

1. Nem cannon the BTAs, put them in a box to live for the rest of their days. Replacing with torches for the torch island I envisioned.
2. Nem cannon BTAs, sell them/give them to someone who wants them. Repeat torch island

Same goes for big GSP rock , replacement with, new pile of rubble (kp aquatics maybe) where I place mushrooms to grow low.

Always inspired by the low lagoons with SPS at the top. Sorta got away from it somehow with the scape I made. More negative space.

Not going to crazy. Needs to grow in. Lol

Option 4: plank
