ESHOPPS Mariner 70 Build

Dirty glass. Definitely going to have to clean tomorrow. I was hoping for a FTS tonight...

These short tanks are difficult to get the flow right.... Fragged the Green Goblin Anacropora again on accident by dropping the powerhead on it.
 
Blastos moved today but they're super irritated right now... Hammer and chisel tends to make things irritated.

Bowers are in the process of moving!

And their final resting place (unless I move them...)

I stirred up some sand. I figure I'll snow the tank and then maybe do a water change Thursday because "why not?".

So I still have a few more things to move over but the major one is going to be the Alveoporas. I think I'll move the Dragon Soul Favia over a couple of inches:

That should make room for the Alveoporas here:

And a map of most of the remaining corals in the 125 that need moved over:

So do I move the Alveoporas over today? Or do I try to catch fish today? Moving Alveoporas would startle the fish too much to do both I feel.
 
It's a lot brighter in person.

He's moving over currently though.
Wow - he is uniquely patterned, love it. I might have missed if you said the name?

Welcome to my world of what I now call “rubble frags”

wait - you’ve been busy in there. Give them the weekend
 
It's a Yuma Ricordea.
A rainbow? Saw them in WWC and TSA’s farms. One of the first corals I bought for my first tank - promptly melted as I had no clue what I was doing - lol

Not rainbow, just a standard Orange Yuma Ricordea. Some people sell them as "Rainbow" because it adds $$$ to the selling price. I think Orange, Yellow, and Green are your standard colors but there are others available. To me Rainbow means multiple colors where the orange is on mine.
 
Micromussa and Ricordea are often marketed as rainbow even though there's nothing really rainbow about them. :slightly-smiling-face:
