The whole bottom is white around the edges but I’ll mount it on the rock work just above the sand

I’ll just keep my eye on it for now if it looks worse in a few days I’ll iodine dip it. Everything looks like it’s adjusting.
i also think I have a good amount a flow going from front to back I have my Nero 3 in the middle of my back wall on a pulse and it seems to be okay

Gopro 9. Do not buy. Total rippoff. 8 is better
I agree the 9 is a complete rip off, so many bugs and so laggy. The 10 however, is the best ever made. GP2 chip, 5.3k at 60fps, and Hypersmooth 4.0? It’s an insane camera.

I used to have a HERO6, but I sold it to get my sw setup.

The HERO10 also has a full 23 megapixels of photo taking capability. A huge setup from the 5MP of the original HERO.

Hi shadow,just read all build thread,few ups and downs at begginning but you perservered and now winning so good stuff and some nice bright lovely looking corals at cheap price so win win hey.
My best cuc members is the tuxedo urchins imo,maybe you could add one to your tank and also my 2 conchs always active unless one my large hermits isnt trying to kill the smaller 2 inch one lol,maybe you could add a conch but look up recommended size tanks for tuxedo urchins and conchs first ovbiously.maybe few trouchus snails,i read they very hardy and sometimes get baby trouchus and at night mine always very active cleaning glass and rocks.i also need to up my cuc ( been saying for over a month but not got around to it) also want add foxface and pistol shrimp mia for over a week which is unlike him and his ywg friend all over tank which is unusual as never leaves shrimps side or 6 inch from burrows entrance so im guessing had a bad molt and died so will want to add another pistol so lots for me to add but im getting another wave of diatoms i believe since coming back from vacation pffft
Anyway keep up the good work ^_^

Before the crash I had 2 Astrias I trocus snail 10 blue leg crabs and 10 nasarius.-. I’m pretty sure that’s why I wasn’t able to get my nitrates down a lot of dead things in there
Anyways !
Goodmorning all long day at work !
