I've got a nice cart put together on TSA for my last Mariner GC. I'm probably going to submit the order this evening or tomorrow morning. Mostly Zoas since my Strats are currently doing the absolute best out of everything in my tank.

A couple other things as well including some Phyto and Pods and even some Macro.

Headed to Ye Ol' WallyWorld to buy some rounderish jars for my Phyto. Pictures once we're set up.

Also, prolly ordering TSA stuff including the 3 pack of Phytos and a bottle of Tisbe pods now that the Nanno is producing good.

I would take a look at Mercer of Montana, too. I have never had a bad experience with them.

Also pick up a bottle of StarSan.

The lighter one was 16 oz so this counts as my "cut".

Well apparently the TSA GC doesn't work on Phyto, pods, or shipping. I guess I'm going to hold off for a little bit on the order to keep my wife happy.

Happy spouse, happy house.

Well, since there's a live sale, there's no free shipping. After this weekend I can buy the Phyto and Pods plus a few extra coral and qualify for free shipping.

Happy tank, happy potato.

I couldn't think of anything that A) rhymed with "tank"; and 2) made sense. So, you get a non-sequitor. Thank @JoJosReef, he started it.

Plenty of dank leads to a happy tank.

Boom.

While you and I enjoy the dark, Tim hates its stank. He certainly wouldn't have any near his tank, or his wife may pull rank. That would make a sad him, and you can take that to the bank.

I'll be frank, Tim's tanks do look pretty swank. When my wife pulls rank, it usually ends up with me having to walk the plank. I can't blame him for being bothered by the stank, but if we play our cards right we can convince him it's just a prank.
