(See below)

@Tidal Gardens does that too I think.

If you make print in PETG and make it thinner it could flex a little. That may make it fit snuggly. Or upside down wedged in the cup.
That's what I did. The center "prongs" are 0.5 ml and the base is 1.1 mL. Upside down could work but what I'm aiming for is the lid holding the holder securely in the cup during transit.

They were filled with water and tied tightly in a small bag. Im sure with that being the case, they still bounced around in the bag.
Yeah. Riptide does bags of water with the deli cups as well. The bags are slim enough it mostly.holds the cups but they still get rolled around in there. If the frag is taller than he deli cup, it has the potential for breaking or smashing against the bag.

I'm getting some insane growth on the Birdsnest after raising my magnesium.

What is it at now?
Not sure. It was sitting around 1280 per my ICP and I've added a little extra over the course of a couple of weeks so I'm hoping around 1450-1500. All I know is that lately, all my Montis and the Birdsnest have gone crazy with growth and the only change has been increasing the magnesium.

Currently I'm sitting outside enjoying the rain while making some RO water.

I assume that's the tap TDS? Not terrible. Mines almost always 800 plus.
Yeah, tap. Not too bad. I've used it without RO for several years in the past.

So GHA has been creeping in and now I've got a slight amount of Cyano showing up. I'm going to start designing a filter cup divider for my filter sock chamber so I can install a skimmer in there.

In the meantime, I did a small dose of Flux. I don't like treating chemically but it's what I've got right now.

Direct center of the tank more or less.

That is looking real good Tim. I've lost track, what do you have on there for lights? It looks to me like maybe a couple of Noops and a bar, maybe an Orphek?
