No worries expected the **** storm. No matter how slow ya go mud and sand get into column. I could have let it settle before kicking returns on but figure try to get some into socks so it’s outta system instead of just sitting back on sump bottom.
Hindsight shoulda took pic before storm tank was looking stellar! :eek:

I added the "cave" gobies about a month ago, they must have shifted 10 lbs of sand so far, I love my snow globe! ;)

Possum comes out pretty regular. He’s out a little less since I had to reset the gyres. New flow must have him a little miffed but he’s looking good. I need to catch some pics of em again

Goooooooood Mooooorning Reefers, not much going on with the tank. Slow steady looking pretty good. I’ve shortened my light cycle a bit and lowered peaks on light channels to a max of 75 % over last 4 days (very little gha around appears in control by cuc and want to stay that way of better). Will fine tune today when I’m home for peak hour and tweak for visual appeal.
Other than light intensity and duration change going to mix salt for 25 ga change tomorrow and get sump wiring heat again after I tore it up cleaning ;Sorry and work on a tank video.
For equipment have a apex jr on the way. The price was right and for what Im going to start using it for will serve its purpose. Hopefully I will not feel a need to upgrade it in near future.....
Stay salty my friends and thanks for stopping in.

Ps still working on an index for ease of finding info in thread it’s a pain in the bleep but will get er done eventually

LTA is hunkered down back right corner and really stretching out. Amazed at how big this has grown. Cpl shots from right end. Tanks 18 inches deep for point of reference and missing about 1.5 inches on left
