What a great upgrade! Things seem to be coming along nicely. The Kessil 160 in the fuge is a solid choice, I do not regret mine in the least. If you’re having issue growing Chaeto try dosing some iron. Made a huge difference in my success rate. mine would melt away sometime after the first harvest until I started adding iron.

Not sure how it happened but I missed a bunch of happenings with your tank. I read through and caught up. I liked all the posts and pics except the one below where you slightly resemble Quasimoto!



Sorry about the loss of your Foxface. Losses are always tough.

Thanks for sharing that hitchhiker site. It's one I've not seen and will also be passing it on in my travels.

We need a pic of your blenny!

Haha!! I felt like Quasimoto down there

So this is my coral QT a biocube29 That will later get changed into a bare bottom seahorse tank. I have another I want to use as an anemone and clown fish tank for the kitchen and cubic 6 gallon I am going to put on my office desk for noon jelly fish.

I can't believe I haven't run across this thread until this morning. Had to read the whole thing before getting ready for work. I am always the last to know. :)

The tank looks great now and I am sure it will blossom into an awesome reef tank. I will be following along to see what you come up with next.

MACNA 2019! It'll be in my stomping grounds of Disney-- at the Swan & Dolphin Resort.

Dang I wish it was in Disney during the winter! That's always when I go down. We're always forgotten in the northeast... Maybe one day I'll go to Jersey when reefapalooza is up this way

Many of us are hoping that whatever @tdlawdo comes up with next will NOT be any more odd looking selfies!
