tank looks wondaful! i've read the full MBOTF twice, I'm on and off rereading it for the third time including all novels and novellas.
I can’t wait to do my first reread! Will probably be after I read TGINW, while we wait on the second one lol. It’s amazing to me how, before reading it, people tend to shy away due to the sheer volume. Then, those that have read it have almost always have read it, in its entirety, multiple times. Have a favorite out of the big 10?

I really like the bone hunters. They are all pretty solid imo.

Gardens of the moon is really good on the reread due to the huge amount of foreshadowing/knowledge bombs that you completely miss or don't get when you read it the first time.

The Bonehunters is so good. I think of the first 5 as the tutorial, with BH being the first level on your own. The convergence in BH really stands out to me, as well as their birth under Y’ghatan.

I loved GOTM, but it’s tone did not prepare me for the brutality and despair of DG. Lol

Pics of the frags please. Going to trade them?
They’re all cranky and closed still lol. While they seem to be hardy and grow quickly, they sure tell you when they’re mad. Current plan is to let them grow out/fill the plugs and then trade them in. I’ve never shipped frags before but I could potentially save one for it.

How did you frag them up? What where they growing on?

Did you find fragging them hard?
I’ve been growing them on a disc, this is the second time I’ve done it. I used a scalpel to scrape under them to lift them off the disc, then cut to separate them. Doing it that way’s not too hard, they have a pretty hard foot that comes off whole.

Some more pictures. I’m loving the Disney’s colors as it continues to grow. I brought home a couple new acro frags, unfortunately they had several aefw on them. I dipped them in an aggressive coral rx mix that made removing them easy and did kill them, cut them off their encrusted bases to not risk bringing in eggs. Should be good. If my calculated risk fails I’ll buy another bottle of flatworm stop and go from there.

It’s been a few minutes! Not a whole lot going on. The tank’s coasting while things grow. I’d like to get a couple more acros, dunno what specifically though. I’ll probably end up grabbing the first things that catch my eye locally lol. enjoy some pictures from around the tank!
