Yesterday was a productive day. Scraped glass on both tanks, manually removed hair algae in biocube and pulled the powered head and got that all cleaned up. I also ran some tests on that tank for the first time in a long time.

I knew my Alk was gonna be a little low from neglect in dosing that tank but I was surprised at how low.

Ruh roh. Corrective measures taken.

Waited until lights out on the big tank for coral feeders to come out and then released a bag of Jason poop in the tank.

Tank looks good though!

We need to start bottling Jason poop. We could make 10's of dollars. JB tank enhancing elixer.

Nate has also proposed this idea.. I don’t know that I want to share but it is….

If Jason was a unicorn.

If Jason was a unicorn.

How do you know I'm not?

It's funny because, these are exactly my thoughts when I see @F i s h y 's tank..

You think about licking unicorn poop when you look at @F i s h y 's tank?

Yes, with the same face as well.

So I had a custom size screen made at a local supplier using Mesh I ordered off Amazon. Cost was $34. I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out. Visually I don’t think it takes away from the rimless too much. I need add some clear guards to the sides so it can’t get bumped and then fall into the tank.
There is 2.5 inch gap in the back where I didnt want to deal with the cut outs from lights and return. In my head I figured I would just leave the clear mesh back there but I’m not really liking it. So it’s just a temporary solution. I will come up with something more visually appealing eventually and eventually will add a feeding port.

looking good!
If they can shoot the gap they've earned their freedom!

Nate said something similar once. But I am too much of a control freak and cheap skate to waste money on freedom jumpers.

 

[rmorris_14]

I have an idea in my head on how I'd like to potentially deal with the gap. But I tend to overcomplicate things, so it's best if I wait and see if I think of something different.

I redid my rock scape

Before

After

I think it will look better once I get the corals mounted.

Thanks to @F i s h y and @fishguy242 for all the awesome pieces to work with.

This morning I made the executive decision to move the command tower closer to the tank. Originally we had it on the other side of the window, but it was getting too annoying thinking about ways to extend cables and tubes. Hubs hasn’t seen it yet. . Eventually I would like to build a box that is more low profile, and can sit under the window.

I also ordered a more powerful return pump and trident solutions to finally get that up and running.

Your new scape is awesome!

Thanks!!! I love it a lot. It actually looks way better in person. I kept looking at the photos and trying to capture it better but :::shrugs:::: I couldn’t wait to show the husband when he got home. He thought I was pointing out something new about the screen.
