Spotted my Mystery Wrasse after a while with no viewings. I think the pair of six lines keeps him hiding.

This is why I had to cut loose some of the bigs... a few top downs from my last tank. This is what I’m working on recreating!

First water change using the Sin Bin since I added the skimmer! 180 gallons... Whoosh!!

Easiest bulb change I have ever done 3 new 400 watt radium bulbs installed without fingerprints

How does that feeding stick work? Do you wrap a sheet of nori around it and hold with a rubber band or something? Very curious.

It's just a piece of PVC - 1/2" pipe with a Tee at the bottom, I spray the nori with water then wrap it around the pipe and have some reusable zip ties to hold it on the pipe even more. Rubber band would work well too!

Bottom sheet is 3/4" thick, sides and ends are 1-1/4" and the top will be stainless steel powder coated so I can light this bad boy up!!
