This quiet over here. Think maybe I need to drop a nem in here to get things going.

It amazes me that neon green toadstools can get THAT big. Crazy… how big was that one across?
I'm going to be heading to Golden State Corals this week to pick up my Desjardini. I'll take a picture of the toadstool they have in their welcome tank. It's 30 in across at least.

Been working instead of updating so I guess I should put this down before I forgot.

Made some progress. Leak test number one found a connection in the PVC that I had not glued. I'm dumb.

Leak test number two was successful and ran for 48 hours on hose water (I expected more leak tests than this, I have no idea what I'm doing)

Yesterday I drained the tank and started adding SW @1.024. I only have the ability to store about 80 gallons at a time, So I'm using the tank as a storage vessel for the time being.

Tank swap happens Saturday starting early morning.

You need to order a 3D printed urchin hat. If I can get my tux to come out from the back side, I am going to measure it and order a cowboy hat one.

I'm hoping if I send her some sweet California only beers, Dani will print me some cool ones. I really want a Hogwarts sorting hat...

All those nems are beautiful! Very nice :)
Thank you. All the nems are moving into the nem tank other than one baby rainbow that doesn't mess with anybody and doesn't walk. New rule will be, If it walks it's out. Goes to the walking is ok tank.

Realizing recently that the corals moved this weekend may like light and I haven't made the upper unit yet, I need to throw together a temporary solution. Had a piece of old ply that was use as a temp cabinet backer.

That'll do.

No glue, sanding, kreg screws without the jig.

Ok it's go time.

100g SW in the 180. Added some cleaned sand, still cloudy as all get up.

Tonight I'll be swapping the sump ( including a deep clean) down to the 180. Tomorrow I'll be up with the sun and going hard until it's done.

Wish me luck.
