It all started with a used 20 long which I built the stand and set the whole thing up with a bummed finger

. I had a week off so I had to do something to occupy myself. But it ended crashing and being ich infested. Then I moved on to this.

I've had quite a few tanks since then. But this one now is good enough for quite a few years to come. I'm finally happy with where my adventure is.

Decided to re-scape had to make room for my ever growing hammers. I didn't want them to get crowded or have them kill anything

Picked up some new friends for the tank today. A pair of snowflakes an algae blenny which I get a kick out of because he's got so much personality already. A pearly jawfish. An ultra maxima and a frag of goniopora that's like a blueish purple which I've never seen. Pics of the pots and maxima tomorrow when they open. For now here's the swimmers.

Unfortunately kind of a crappy update. Some how I've been infested with nudis. I thought I had them all gone last time. But maybe not. That was months ago. I did get a new frag of flower pot but didn't think I'd have a problem but dipped anyways. Idk how it happened.

Just thought I'd do an update.

Rearrange things in the tank. Had quite a few euphyllias hanging round in different spots so I decided to put them all together and make a cool garden. So far I've got a big wall hammer a bicolor torch a green torch a purple tip branching hammer a real branching hammer and a pink tip frogspawn. What I have coming is a pink torch and a purple hammer from a cousin and a rainbow torch an orange octospawn and a girls hammer coming from fish finatics.heres a close up of some of them

Also my wife has her part of the tank decorated with her favorite schrooms and ricordeas.

The rest of the tank is pretty much the same

.

Have a few new frags from a frag swap and auction winnings too

The full plate is from the swap and the fragged plate is from an auction. Both there colors are cool also from the swap are cloves that are constantly being attacked by stupid asterina stars. Captain America palys,favia, pink candy canes and a giant paly.

and finally really impressed with the come back of this lobo. It had shrunk so much that it's skeleton poked through parts and was just not really happy where it was in the tank. I kept moving it and moving it but it was never happy till now. The white spots are from the skeleton. There use to be a lot more but it's regaining its color
