Maggie's Mixed Reef Build V3, now a 75!

Dipped and back in.

Polyps on all but the Millie are peeking out. Color is actually better on the brightest one, but the one on the right has some browning on the tips I think, I identified it yesterday during the dipping. But all look intact today still. Planning a water change today.

Lights are pretty dim this time in the morning, I'll do another later in the day when they are brighter. I was just eager to start inspecting.

Got a package from my cronie SS, they obviously stalked me well! Thank you!!!

My Springeri damsels have eggs. And holy moly are things weird under flashlight.

 

[Mhamilton0911]

And separate issue, should I dip this hammer? It was near the top and I forgot to move it when I adjusted flow for the new sticks. So it's been getting blasted and it's very unhappy. Moved to the sand bed now.

How's it looking this morning?

 

[Mhamilton0911]

I would say a little better since it's more open, doesn't look like it lost anything overnight.

Twhs?

I've got the printer and have made a thing. If you never see me again you all know why.

Test print is not perfect but for a complete noob not having a dang clue I'm pretty happy about it. Need to read and research stuffs now.

Nice!

Now making a nut shaped pencil cup.

Need to figure out a spot for this beast since on the kitchen counter might not be a good permanent location.

 

[Mhamilton0911]

Finally submitted and received my ICP test results. Not much going on. Which is good. I started my reefing journey with tap water, and only have been using rodi for the last 4 months. So I kinda thought there might be some weirdness in the test results but they were pretty bland. But in a good way I guess.

 

[Mhamilton0911]

So my reef must be consuming iodine, I've been adding drops every few days. That's my takeaway from the whole thing. Kinda nice to see levels so basic so if things start going haywire I can send another test in and have something to compare to.

THANK YOU!!!
I received my "not-so-secret Santa" gifts today and I LOVE them!! Thank you, Maggie, for reaching out when you saw that I missed the Cronie SS exchange - all the Cronies are so generous

 

[Mhamilton0911]

Or cronie, same thing, lol.

Glad you like them! What did ya think of the look of the sexy shrimp? I was hoping I captured enough details.

It looks great! Very lifelike

 

[Mhamilton0911]

Pretty things.

 

[Mhamilton0911]

Torch.

When angry it's very yellow.


When happy it's this color.


Both together. It looks good though, loves it's spot so far. It's in a single frag rock from @Aquarocks so I can move it easily. Right now it's near the bottom, I'll move it up higher soon.
