Yep, Kouts the small little town that got its first stop light 6 years ago lol..
Avon is really nice area. My parents are looking to move To Fishers in the next couple of years.

I love the dimensions of that tank. I would love to build a tankin the wall. I would love to do something similar, but my house doesn’t have a basement. Pretty scary after my wife saw this one block away from our home earlier this week.

So for now I have my “little 29 gallon reef in my office at work.

Oh wow that’s pretty horrifying! I’ve never seen a tornado in person. As odd as it sounds I’ve always wanted to be a storm chaser.

It was pretty cool because they used this picture for all the local news stations as well as Chicago.

This one never officially touched down thankfully. It was just a funnel cloud.

In like 1998 we had one go through a neighborhood in Griffith tore it apart scarywq

I cannot say anything bad about Fishers other then the traffic....but Avon traffic stinks too. My in-laws moved down to Noblesville a few years back and they love it.

The depth on this tank is really the only annoying part. I am basically swimming when I need to do anything on the bottom [emoji23]

Tornadoes scare me pretty bad. When we were building our house we had a big squall come through and mess up our rental really bad. Tree fell on our cars. It was a mess. Since then I am petrified. [emoji45]

In 1998 the region also had that huge blizzard. I remember being without power for like a week!

Argh. I am now battling bryopsis. Trying reef flux now, already looking better. I think this came in on a couple pieces of live rock I added without QT. #rookiemistake

Current livestock:

DT
black ice clown, mocha domino clown, coral beauty, 3 lyretail anthias, royal Gramma, red lyretail hawkfish, lawnmower blenny, lavender Tang, marine Betta.

Notes- lawnmower blenny now lives in my overflow...he is so stinking fat and he seems to love it in there. I give him his own nori and made him some perches. My coral beauty is the devil. Lyretail hawkfish is the most active fish in my tank and I love him/her.

QT
3 Pajama cardinals and greyhead wrasse.
Notes- wrasse is in terrible shape but looks to be turning the corner. He is pretty big and colorful so I really hope he pulls through.

This will be the end of my fish stocking unless I decide to swap out devil coral beauty for a foxface.
