Needed a little break from the tank but hope to address a good chunk of stuff this weekend.

any updates on that fuge? Curious how youre going to divide up your sump.
right now it’s a ball of cheato sitting by the filter socks and the AI Fuge light cheesy mounted. I have a hanging kit for the light but haven’t installed it yet. I ordered a baffle kit from Octo Aquatics to divide my sump. Fed ex said delivery is Thursday’s then Friday now it says Monday. Lol once the baffle kit comes I will update.

Ya let's go Don... sheesh.

The tank is a mess but my sand bed is improving slowly. Picked up a conch snail but think it’s defective. Didn’t move for 24 hours the the next 24 hours he moved 6”. Haven’t look today so he may have made it 1/4 way a cross the tank. Thinking of getting a arrow crab this weekend.

Attica Attica Attica we want an update! When do we want it? NOW! ;Hilarious

The gorg has had polyp extension every time I saw it but the last couple days. Thinking it’s because the cheato lowered my NO3 little lower then wanted. A little fresh or frozen food and polyps come out and thing are good again and it makes fish happy.

Fell off notifications again and was left behind. I love that anemone garden you have going! So cool theyve stayed put on that one rock and are getting their bubble on!

The Pits.... my word Such good dogs!
One tried to run away but the clown keep pushing it back in the sand. When they get bigger for the rock I will sell them off.

I’m late but have pictures.

Spent today working on my mess. Cleaned the salt on the lid from the wrasse and cleaned the glass. Had about three clams, bunch of LRS and 1/4 pack of mysis down the glass and cabinet. Skipped vacuuming sand bed this week. Swapped out the wet side powerheads for a clean set. Did my weekly 10 gallon water change. Got motivation to move a few corals around.

Lineatus in upper right of picture is starting to get more orange/golden yellow on the dorsal and tail. I can’t belive how much she grew since getting her.

Confused my skimmer cup has been filling up every other day. It’s very light colored waste. I adjusted water level and air screw but nothing seems to help. Because it is pulling so much water it is lowering my salinity.

Picked up a new little dude. Such a great addition to the front left corner of the display. Thanks for the push @Fudsey

He been staying on the Goni rock. Since adding him Goni has not stretched out.

Will the Acan’s become a problem for the Goni when they grow out?
I’m guessing yes

He also likes to hangout by the Gorg.
@Raege check out the polyps. It’s always happy

Removed the gsp rock and hacked it up. The loose rocks in the sand bed are waiting to get some gsp

Hung my AI Fuge light and installed my baffle kit from Octo Aquatics.

My wiring is a bit messy and dangling from swapping equipment or remove for maintenance. Need to find time to clean it up. My living room looks like a disaster from today’s shenanigans.

Me also. Found a worm in one of the rocks today. I will play with the rocks at a later date. I have more rock to make a scape

The hawkfish looks awesome ! so nice addition.
Thank you

Looks awesome, Don!
Thanks Brian

Sweet hawkfish, love those guys.
They add a nice shape and color to the tank

My hawk will actually sit inside a couple of my Gorgs ;)
I need some branches for mine to perch in the Gorg. I may have to take Rays and leave him with my stick.
