Tank update. Glass is dirty because I was distracted with a house project this week. Gotta clean it up later today and test all params. Everything is looking good, though.

One of my frags that accidentally grew onto the frag rack decided to become murderous. Had to move his neighbors out before they got digested.

Well, my poor little wrasse went carpet surfing. Bummed by that, but it inspired me to de-anemone my tanks a bit. Got all but 8 of them out of the main, and moved to the other tank, then I traded about 90 of them to the lfs for store credit. Probably still have at least 80-100 in the tank. The clownfish are in heaven.

Doing some much needed maintenance today. Cleaned all pumps. Cleaned skimmer. Cleaned up the sump a bit. Etc.

Looking forward to accomplishing "tentacle zero" in the main tank, so I can finally clue corals down around the joint, and try some more at sps.

Full tank shot for the permanent record. Removing all my nems threw the tank outta whack. The good news is, I got some credit at the lfs. Once things stabilize a bit, and I cycle through about 70% water changes over the next few weeks, going to start moving corals around and gluing them down.
