We want more pictures now! No excuses
You asked for it.

My fav out of these is the lesser starlet corals that came on KP rock and I have grown out. It is the first pic. Next is my garden of Florida zoas. Not the brightest or best, but look good under blues or full spectrum (what I run) and the fact I collected them myself, makes it even sweeter for me.

Still need to work on taking pics and slowing down, but a few turned out OK.

I wonder if anyone's ever gotten their tongue stung by a mertens?....

.Looks like mama Earl already split?
Almost split. Should be done tonight or tomorrow from the looks of it. She likes the zoas and they seem to like her, so happy about that.

Zoas/nems generally are one of the few classes I've found Earl doesn't clash with.

These three were all from flesh left behind when fragging shrooms from the rock.

Zoa’s are very nice. Can imagine the enjoyment of collecting from the ocean and growing them out in your box of water. I agree I’m not crazy about blue tanks. I’m little on blue side but run more white to wash the blue out. Great mushrooms collection. Do you collect mushrooms and RFA’s?

I agree. The “Earl” finally finished splitting, so one is now 2. Then will be 30 in a month lol. Earls are like @Lost in the Sauce and just don’t know when to quit lol.

Well, time to finish the wire dress up under the 180, changing the fuge light and then getting the chiller feed pump back installed. May not need the chiller, as didn’t need it last year, but would rather have it hooked up and ready then not need it.

Provided I have time, I will install the 61” hybrid over the mangrove lagoon.

The mess before.

Not perfect, but hard to do cleanup in a steel stand, with it running and all this crap lol. But definitely nicer lol.

Even put my valve for the ATO container to fill up on the panel. It will be a solenoid and controlled by float switches (top and bottom of ATO tank) soon. Crap just had to get here. Breakout box is already lol

Well, hoping the order I have comes in OK today. It has 2 standard haddoni in it and a wrasse I am thinking about getting. The observation tank is now empty and could use a fish or 2 in it lol.

@Crabby48 @SaltyT @i cant think what are your thoughts on Halichoeres trispilus? Thinking nem tank or 180, but not sure how it would interact with all the other wrasse in the 180 lol.

Nem tank has sand and plenty of non-nem space, crap ton of pods that need to be eaten and could use more movement outside of the clowns, goby pair/shrimp pair and the springerii.

Also going to try and pick up some mollies to convert to SW. I need some algae control in the macro tank. The seahare is getting some of it, but not quick enough. Tried a lawnmower, but it likes the macro better lol. The halloween urchin eats a little macro, and a lot of gha, but not enough. The rock boring are doing just that or eating coralline lol. I am OK with that, as coralline is a nuisance on the back glass lol.

Open to ideas, as I want to keep the macro from being devoured, but want the GHA gone without tons of manual removal lol.
