Older notes.
Equipment in use
Lights Orbit marine IC led (I hate these things) Noopsyche K7V3 x3.

SCA sump made as a fuge
return pump sca something. Its just all so generic. Jabaeo 4000 return pump. Very very quiet. It's been over a year and still running well.



My aquarium is boring.

Edit: There has been a lot of live stock changes. The emperor and Powder blue needed new homes.
Powder blue was just too aggressive, emperor was just massive.
I have since added
scopas tang
Atrosalarias holomelas
Carpenter Wrasse Him and bristlestar are missing. :(
July 2022
Bristlestar has been found. No pics of the booger.

Melanurus wrasse was removed due to sand spitting on corals. Beautiful fish, but not working out.
Added a female ribbon eel. Named her Eli. She's been in main display since July 09,22.

looks good man. I thought about the same tank a few years back.

 

[count krunk]

Tank looks good, gotta like your own tank man?

 

[Goaway]

Oh, I love my tank. It takes time for sure to get things to look really alive.

Going through old photos of my last reef. Years and years of growth. The time it takes to keep things going and stable. It's all worth it.
Edit: These pictures back in 2012 -2014, before a serious heater malfunction. I've been away from aquariums for 2 years. A lot of work ahead of me now.

Powder blue tucking himself away for the night. Tuxido waking up to forage.
This is why territories are important.

Loving that wrasse

 

[Goaway]

Ty! He is a Camera hog. Not 1 scale is shy.

 

[flyfisher2]

You keep the tank covered?

 

[Goaway]

I have a canopy. Maybe I need to set up my mesh for the top. He doesn't show any interest in jumping.

 

[Goaway]

Partial front view. Will post more once day hits tomorrow. And under the tank shots. Oi... Its a sad story....

Some changes to the sump (miner) added a ball valve. Waiting for the day everything slips out of place View attachment 2230944
Here's where I tumble my chaeto and caulpera. And on the far left is the return pump. SCA return pump broke on me and I got a DC 4000 pump. Pretty impressed on how quiet it is. Some redslime growing in my sump, but it's not difficult to remove.

It's morning and everyone is hungry. My little one already had his breakfast. Feather dusters are caking up back of my glass, I stopped caring.

I think I'm forgetting something?
I'll post it when I remember.

And your little guy is a reefer too
LOL

My little son has nerds for parents. My dad was a mechanic/carpenter/ repair man. Loved his schematics. Always reading his books.
My husband's dad is a construction worker.
My husband is a guitar/pedal nerd.
Me? I love my fish and pets. I should have went into computer science.

 

[flyfisher2]

Sounds like smart parents to me. And you can do what you really want. My oldest daughter just went back to school to be an RN. She dropped out to raise my granddaughter and now she’s 10 and mom is back in school. Hubby is working and so is she so she goes at night and online.
You can do it!

I am thinking about it. I don't trust anyone with my 2 yr old. Online courses would work.
My husband works IT and you'd laugh at how many people can't type their own passwords.

 

[Goaway]

Added some yumas last night.
I didn't know they were yuma, but they looked really nice sitting in the lfs. Maybe, I'll get the rest he has. If my wrasse stops spitting sand on them.
I need to get a photo filter for my phone. List goes on of wants.

[flyfisher2]

Sounds good.
Get orange sunglasses
They work great as filter for photography

 

[Goaway]

time to find the husbands glasses.
