Thank you sir…..I’m trying. So far the only loss was the original Moscow nights but luckily I had that accidental frag that is growing well for a booger. Stay tuned. Shouldn’t take longer than 4 or 5 years before they’re big enough to frag

Great stuff Charlie!
Your tank is probably getting tight. Any plans on expansion? Look forward to seeing your collection grow, outstanding job keeping all those facy beauties!

Thanks @Perry
The tank is jammed pack.
No plans to upgrade bc I’ve seen too ppl/“pros” lose a bunch of high end acros in the aftermath. Not worth the risk to me….buuuuut, I have had this new 30g Fiji cube rimless tank that I found a matching sca stand (matches my main stand) and all the equipment for it to be added on since May. I just haven’t had the courage to sit on my knees for 5 hours to replumb everything.

Sorry for the caps, mostly so I could see where I responded already. Either way, next time I am down, we should play golf! I usually get into San Antonio but can make the drive over for sure.

Didn’t you go skimmer less awhile back? Thinking about taking mine offline for awhile, which is why I ask.

That was a longtime ago bc my po4 was 0
I also only ran my skimmer at night for a while too but now that I use a co2 scrubber to boost ph I run it 24/7 but it runs really dry. I only have to clean the cup every couple of months

That would be great. San Antonio is only a 3 hour drive to Houston. I haven’t swung a club since October….so I’ll need a heads up so I can get some practice in.

 

[biecacka]

Why not?? You have year round golf! lol
Reefing and golf. Be a great conversation in the sunshine!
