It has Horizon in the name so you should have known. Encrusting as far as the eye can see. I can't wait for my tank to be ready. I'm definitely going to need some frag packs. You have amazing acros!
You speak the truth sir. Edge to edge encrusting!

Thank you! I got my clippers ready!

I was just thinking...you must have terabytes of pics of the kids you'll be able to cherish forever! ;-)
All on Apple storage with our cell phones. They don’t sit still long enough for my macro lens. :D

I did snag this a couple weeks ago on the old Nikon. I kept it for family portraits and use the Canon for the corals.

I was going to tell you Finn needs to work on his wave. When I picked up a couple of weeks ago he was standing at the door watching me. I kept waving at him and just stood there and smiled the whole time!

He was smiling because he just called the cops on you.

New sump Sunday! (Coined by @Charlie’s Frags )

New manifold I built out of 2” PVC

Old sump I made out of a used 75 gallon

This is why I did this. To be able to run socks and remove this build up of 4 years of goop

Where I temporarily stored all my sump equipment and rocks

The hot mess

Nice open stand

What 4 years of not maintaining your return pump looks like

New sump in place. Feels great to be able to reach in and work on it easily versus the old sump. Also, love that I’m being proactive about the buildup of detritus. It was everywhere! Lastly, looking forward to having a dedicated refugium now. Excuse the mess, I still need to organize the wires and place the probes neatly into the sump and also hang the refugium light.

WOW! What a massive undertaking. That new sump looks sweet as pie tho!
