My 75 gallon reef tank

Hubby and I had to do some tank repairs. One of the over flow pipes started to leak. We drained the 40 gallon sump, removed it from the stand and took about 50 gallons of water out of the tank just to move it. Found out the middle pipe was missing an O ring. Things are back together.

Here is my progress on our 75 gallon reef tank. This is our first tank and I started in October of 2017. I have had a large handful of issues but it was a learning curve but I am enjoying this hobby

No one is stupid.
 
While getting ready for work, I decided to check on our reef... Our little scare this morning, the clowns decided to play dead and sleep by the overflow box...

Clowns do this so often It drives me crazy. I had to stop looking in the tank while the lights were off because, without fail, I’d assume they’re dead.

Silly clowns. My husband about freaked out one night because he saw one the Clowns hosting the icecap wave makers. He had thought it was stuck in the pump.
 
Looking good. My first shrimp molt I saw go thru a wave maker :oops: I thought he had bought the farm lol
bummer! I have never seen the molt from the Emeralds, seen a lot from my cleaner shrimp.
