Cool - no more excuses for not doing water changes, just grab a hose? lol

Hope your 60g is doing well after the move?
It held up, overall. Currently in Miami about to head to Central America.

We shall see in a few weeks when I get back, then I'll really re kick it off. I had been so busy with moving back to the condo, no time to deal with it.

Look Ma - no more wires!!!

I’ve removed all 4 Gyres and added 2 more MP60s - 4 total on the back glass, much cleaner look and plenty of flow!

Looks good. Glad they aren't doing their usual, lol. Occasionally they would rumble with each other!

How's the Purple?
PT is mellow - the Gem Tang is the boss so everyone is calm. It will be interesting in 5-6 more weeks when they’ll go in the big tank. I’m planning to put these guys (after QT of course) first before the angels. These tangs showed no signs of disease but I’m still going to do the 2 wks QT just in case.

Excellent choice. I used to dose single malt scotch (still for a cabinet of them for “collection”), cognac, and whisky (sorry, no vodka). I’ve mixed my own usual gin-tonic, rum-coke, etc but my fav is still old-fashion, suits me. However, recently it’s just seltzer or modelo, easy to drink.

My palate rotates, sometimes it's gin, sometimes it's tequila, occasional vodka & soda/grapefruit/oj. Bourbon/whiskey is the devil's liquor anymore :eek:.

Just had my bar moved so I can position tank exactly where I want it. The floor grate is where the right end of the tank will be.
I wanted to assure when it was time for vodka dosing for the reef keeper I wouldnt have to walk far :)

That’s one sweet bar!!! lol

My main bar is too far away — may need to build another bar once the 175g is drained.

Very cool!! Man - where we you 3 months ago when I was kicking and screaming cutting these 1.5” PVCs?!$&@
Sorry bud. I actually got it a while ago. If anyone has many cuts to accomplish, I highly recommend this. I will be using the heck outta this hopefully within the next few weeks.
