ah it Thursday..off for 3 days , coffee time here. Gonna put windows in, finish a few framing things, run final electric and then wrap the foam with tar paper and wire...and of course play with the 300..plan on making two 5 gallon containers out of cast acrylic, they will be square, one for RODI and one for kalk so I can use a versa dosing pump on each to control adding to sump.
I am designing idea's for dosing containers also. I am not happy with what I see you can buy. I bought some a year ago, they were round, they have issues, lids don't fit snug, uptake tube weak material, and they are small. I also saw some used ones at this place and they are also small and not made to my liking. designing a sump for a friend, he just bought a 180..saw my sump and asked if I would build him one. hmmmm perhaps this could be a pretty good side cash generator...

Need to buy more pineapple sword tails today. The silver and black mollies are still hiding by the protein skimmer.

Lta got into a fight with my octospawn. Lta tentacles are reduced by half size. I'm pretty dumb when it comes down to nems vs coral. I was sure nems won the assault?
I need a coffee.

I moved the lta last night. It looked awful.

Okay, all those jurks are getting off the sand. I'll smother the shrooms near the lta. Hasn't moved in 12 hours. We'll see if she'll settle after the fight. Freking corals.

octo is an ******* anyhow. Tries to kill everyone. Naming it Todd sweeny.

My lta is currently living with an H.Aurora literally squishing it against glass , do you think they’ll battle? I guess one will move if it doesn’t like it idk

Nope. That is like 2 toddlers batting hands at each other. No one will win and they will be fine. You could even throw a crispa into the mix and all good.

Maybe I should keep the octo close, that will teach the nem to move!

J/k
However, the nem crabbed got all that damage cleaned up pretty quick. I was awake at 4 am checking things out. It was grooming each tentacle one at a time. Amazing creatures.

Well, thinking of doing a build thread for the 180, as the fish barn is about to be no more. What are you all thoughts on that?

It will be a controversial thread with lots of bashing on me, more than likely. Although I do not care, still needs to be mentioned lol.
