Thanks. He is a Half Moon, but the tail has “wilted” with age.

I did a 75% WC yesterday, teaching my 9 year old maintenance.
She scrubbed the rocks of 99% of the GHA, scraped the glass, replaced the filter cartridge and carbon pad.
I showed her how to use the python to clean sand and complete WC.
Recently switched to Tropic Marin Pro Reef salt, Brute can is clean!
Just received a john guest 3 way ball valve for the RO/DI to fill a 6 gal top off bucket and to fill the 44 gal brute can for WC and my tank's rocks.
Also taught her how to use the RO/DI system to fill our 6 gallon bucket and brute can.
The fish and corals are both happy n healthy looking.
The zoas that I freshwater dipped and cleaned are coloring back up and fully opened up as well, happy about that, it took 5-6 days for them to bounce back.
The neptheas haven't missed a beat they have to be at least 3x the size since I got them.
WWC slimeball is back/forth between whether it looks like it will live or not, now betting it won't make it. **** happens.
Hollywood stunner looks happy but never seen its sweepers out yet.
Miami hurricane chalice...is just there LOL. Hasn't really done anything since getting it.
I have lined up a light for this tank for when my 50 will be set up I will need my radion back for that.
The light is a Maxspect Razor 160watt 16K, it'll work for this temp 20 gal tall and for awhile on the 40 breeder.

I put more pics in my build thread but here’s a few of the frags that I got yesterday, they are doing pretty good! Especially the goni !

Its looking good. I want a red goni like that, but I hear they can be a bit finicky and my system is still young.

 

[astridaly]

I don't mind. I'm genuinely trying to make this tank healthy despite the size. Any specific tiny fish you recommend? I'd like vivid color if possible.

Yellow clown goby. Bright yellow and perch on coral and rock; adorable!

Yea I’ve heard that too. This one is called “bulletproof” so I’m hoping that’s referring to it’s resiliency lol.

Both the ones I got both melted in three days. Turned black and boom disintegration. The other leathers I bought at the same time and acclimated have opened up and polyps out.

I love my clown gobies. I have a yellow and a green

haven't we all? :/

Most recognizable in my bball game.

Ya know, I was thinking...some of our kids are pretty close in age and we are all involving them in the hobby. Ya think they will be comparing notes on a thread one day? Supporting each other the way we do? I hope so. It has changed my life.

I thought the same thing.

Was just perusing this thread. Can you BELIEVE that when you showed up 2 yrs ago with a simple ask that it would continue for over a THOUSAND pages? How cool is that?!? So cool. I love this forum! What an incredible community!

Sure hope my kids are here learning and sharing in the future...

Our kids will have some cool technology and bio-advances that we can only dream about!

You say that as though these will be so far into the future that you'll be dead or not in the hobby anymore. Neither of which will be true! So, stick around kid! The fun has just begun! ;)

Aviators, check
Galaxy buds, check
SiriusXM app set to Lithium 90s alternative rock and grunge, check
Lawnmower deck patched so it stops throwing pecans and rocks at my head, check

Up at at it 'early' today before its 100 degrees. Nice breeze, good day for cutting the grass(weeds).

 

[Katrina71]

Ok. I am tired of waiting on the tank. July 1 is my goal to start the stand. It may take a while, but...Andrew and I are going to work together to make it happen.

 

[Katrina71]

This is so much later than I had planned. Oh well. Fun summer project for us.

 

[Katrina71]

Goals. Sometimes they take baby steps.

Make a plan, and stick to it. Doesn't matter if it takes a year. Bit by bit and you'll have it finished.

I could write a book about this - but the way I do things, I may not live long enough to finish it. :-)

When I was younger it was Ginger all the way...but it looks like Mary Ann aged better! If you could get an idea of what people would look like as they aged some of us might not ever find a mate.....LOL!

Hope you all have a great day. I am off to church and later a memorial service for my young friend Reagan who died a couple of months back in a roll over accident. This is memorial #4 and I hope the family can start the other parts of the grieving process now.
