Made some more filter socks this week. Finally got it down and the over lock machine threaded right. Went with powder blue for the color this time, like to be different:) also instead of the embroidery hoops I found these throw ring on Amazon and they work out perfect for my 4.5 hole. I cut the ring and took about 1 inch out of the ring and ran it in my collar of the sock. 91 socks will last me until January or March depending how much I change the socks.

Boom once again colored rings

Interesting tank week this week, My clown that I just added is gone, anemone kicked it, still figuring out why. The water has been the cleanest and parameters are all good. This morning I find the chewed up legs of my Halloween crab. I am thinking the existing maroon clown is ticked off that her anemone is gone and not just show her dominance. I guess I am going to have to switch her name to Miss Yellow or something along those line. My thinking is that I will look for another anemone today to keep her entertained. I am really bummed about the Halloween crab, he was all over the place cleaning.

I found another nem and have been focus feeding it, I thing the problem with the last was I thought the clown was feeding the nem and it starved. Never found any trace of the clown. The the clown was not a jumper so my theory is that he was warped up by aliens:rolleyes:.

 

[Afishionado]

Awesome tank!

Warped by the alien haha! I like that you can laugh about the situations like this. I would have probably pulled out some hair lol.

Great build! Love your reef and how you have built pretty much everything yourself. Amazing craftsmanship!
