What a difference! Awesome vids and updates. The pics came out great too! Hope the tamarin settles and joins more as time passes. Mandy is a chubbier!

GL with the acro. I'm doing a bunch of tank stuff today. So maybe I'll trim my acro and bonsai and send em over.

Evening boys and girls guys and gals. Another view from the couch. Not much action but I’ve come to love the fading lights fish for most part in their nooks except for FF who is something of a night owl getting his laps till the last light goes out.

We are finding that the new lights have rendered the window film unacceptable can see the cords in back now. Thinking on options a zero Vic paint or sticking craft paper to the film layer. Thoughts on best way to darken the glass up to rehire the cords?

I had a feeling you'd be loving the new fixture!

Depending how much room is behind the tank, I believe the better option would be getting a long-stemmed skinny roller and painting it. I could see craft paper getting wet, creating a mess and having to be replaced.

I used something like this and it worked very well. There’s also some that you can attach to a pole to make it six feet long

@RichtheReefer21 has inspired me to get er done today! Big jerk went to town on his sump and tank so I would feel the shame if I didn’t jump in and get some wet salty knees myself.
On tap 25 gal WC pull and clean skimmer, gyres, socks, and the dual reactor. Last thing will be painting the back glass picked up low Vic matte black paint.
Before I dive in Anemone is Huuuuuge today. how bigs yours here’s mine

Gooood Morning! Happy Easter and if your not into Easter hope ya have a great Sunday.
Weekly vid below and ordered the new lamps today. Looking at a indoor growing fixture to season the t5’s in rather than changing light schedule on ATI.....As Hedley Lamar said : My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
