Waiting on Coral Depot to respond to the DM.
 
My kids are now at the age where they bring new words home, most of which I don't understand. I just wave it off.. "something something big back daddy" (laughing hysterically).

Yep not sure when it will arrive. I am actually kind of happy for the delay as I am going on a cruise from the 9th to the 12th. 🤣 So I am hoping they do not send it when I am gone. I do plan to set up my Auto feeder for my 25 gallon with TDO pellets although with the amount of pods in my tank I should be safe. I mean I have intentionally not cleaned my glass since there are so many little white dots all over it crawling around it lol. I wish there was a good way to take a picture but my phone can't focus on their size.

Back away from the glass and use manual focus?

I got the IPhone 16E and its camera is terrible. Did not think about the photos I would take at the time when it came out lol

Look I am hijacking Kingranch's thread now! lol hopefully this is good enough. There is a lot more towards the top of the glass for some reason but this was the best I could do. I definitely see them move and then stop and move again very slowly lol. The glass is dirty because I think it acts like a food source for them I assume and its not too bad other than towards the bottom of the glass for right now.

Post away! The more the better.
I can actually see them very well, that's impressive. Im at the beginning of your build thread when you're talking about wanting to hopefully have a healthy pod population one day. So this is great to see.
 
Holy smokes... What's the secret. Neon green to pink to 3 different shades of purple?
Trick photography! 🤪

The lighting and lens filter help. I try my best to mimic what I actually see visually in the pictures. This one is almost spot on. Some of the purples are actually more on the red side with the tips being a bit whiter. It's a very nice piece and picked it up for a whopping $45 at the LFS.

And it's looking even better now, looks like! Im looking forward to seeing that colony grow out. Im getting more into acros these days, and colonies like this are why lol
 
My Naoko's fairy and McCosker's flasher wrasse come in tomorrow. Im a little nervous because I've never done an online fish order. Ill post an update here tomorrow!
 
Haha yessir! How's it going beard? Hopefully everything is good on your end and with that awesome tank!
:) Stuff is crazy, like trying to take a drink from a fire-hose. Hopefully it calms down in a month or so, fingers crossed. Tank is doing good! I think i have my algae issue starting to take a positive turn.

That sweet lips is hands down my favorite coral though, love it! How have you and the rest of your beautiful tank been?

Haha sweetlips is hilarious man, I appreciate it. She kept moving so much, I blocked off that entire corner for her to slide around and act like a sesame street character all by herself.
