My 286g picture thread

Ok earlier this week I took my hand and rubbed this sea blade and ran my fingers up and down the blades and used my index finger to kinda brush around the base lightly. I've been tempted to do it again but have been putting it off. Well today I see light at the end of the tunnel. Its shedding. Good. Lol.
Now if that purple sea ribbon next to it would do good id be happy and in good business. Give it a cpl weeks and start adding more coral. Rn I wait. No more fish either for a cpl weeks.

Ok I cleaned my skimmer according to my thread on Monday. Its Friday. So 3 days of production. I can say the skimmer is working harder on this bioload than the previous tank...
The stuff is dark nasty green. And as usual it holds up to its reputation and blows out the top air hole lol

I've never fed seaweed so I'm gonna try this and see.
New fish. Wanted to show the blue on the lips of these naso unicorn tangs I have. They are so cute lol.
2 or 3 don't have any blue spots and are just all silver. Thinking they might be a different species.

Tanks a lot more active with the new 13 fish. Lol. The monos are really active which I find interesting. It's kool to see 8 or 9 fish swim around against the current. Lol. This pic is during a 15min feed session on my wave boxes.

Tank is very active with all the fish now. Idk if I like the monos. They make the reef artificial imo.
Really need to remove the filefishm decided to remove all the top rock and put it in a bin with the coral on it and remove the fish with a net and re scape.

Idk if I'm really liking these monos. They look artifical to me. They act like little piranhas lol.
Like they've never eaten. Lol.

Cleaned the walls of the display yesterday so naturally this morning I broke down and cleaned the nasty skimmer and screen on the pellet reactor.
My skimmer has a nylon detritus catcher. Thinking of sucking up detritus with my large pink turkey baster and just blasting into the drain of my skimmer in the troft. Lol! Thxs aquavitro.
Lol.
This is my nasty skimmer after an 8hr work shift. Driving and chilling. Lol.

Looks great! I was always interested in mono's but from what I was told, they eventually get zebrasoma tang big with the same bioload!

*WARNING it's easy to crack and break your aquamaxx xl lid using these so be be careful and just use the tool to tighten them up a little. Not trying to set them by hand 1st.
