Obi Wan Hello GIF by Star Wars


I've been in a galactic level funck. My mom died. And many other things have seemed to fall apart as a result. Which is the way of such things. I'll be honest. This hobby has been on the backest of back burners. But...here I am.

Thinking I should probably get my 120 set up before I set up my frag tank.

Reason being the location. Considering the low boy will be going about 3 feet from the 120...it occurs to me it would be better to get the heavy lifting require to level my oceanic done before there's a hyperfragile tank right next to it.

Alas, it's been hard to care about much of anything since my mom died. There's also the unsettling reality that I've got a 50/50 shot of dying from the same disease. And as of now there's no cure. Oh well.

Also have been feeling the squeeze of both the economy and being down to one car for the family. (Kellies f150 missed one oil change and decided it didn't want to live anymore)

So I've been a lazy reefer. But...I'm getting the passion back when I go watch my clowns and my foxface.

Think I'm going to take it slow. I have the majority of what I need. Minus extra plumbing fittings when I inevitably cut poorly at some point. That and I still need to find a more practical setup for my rodi.

Oh well. Life continues. And the coyote abides

No, you don't. When I say I've neglected things I mean it.

All I have left is that wild colony of brown zoas you gave me. Also some nems from one of the rocks i got from you. Think some are glass but the others are aip..

Pencil urchin annihilated any and all coraline. And then died when the temp probe for my heater was discovered outside of the tank a two months ago.

I apparently still have at least one
Pistol shrimp. And one snail. And maybe one hermit.

So yeah. No pics.

That gives us a starting place. You have good rock so the foundation is good.

True enough. But I'm now concerned about aip throughout all my rock. I still have the tub running. Haven't touched it beyond top up and the occasional remembering to feed it. And I put one of the two media bags from the 53s HOB in there.

Idk. We'll see how it plays out. Just feeling guilty for letting my LR get so munched and neglected.
