Appreciate it ray. Ya the clown tang has brass fins. ;) too bad fish dont have CBD receptors or id have to add another dosing regiment to calm her down. Its hilarious how hard she tries to be noticed and everyone just brushes it off like a fly. Poor thing cant get no respect! :D

Great picture Rich! Feed them babies ;)

Aye aye cap! Thanks :) hope my acans grow out like urs before its tear down time! Nutrients shmutrients! ;)

I myself am getting ready to install a large sump in my basement. Gotta plumb it in an consider my basement environment... Looks like you are on your way with yours rich!!!
Hey and welcome! Thanks for checking the rags out! Fire up a build thread and claim your badge so i can follow urs too!

Feels like the tank has settled into its groove. Took long enough ;)

Rich,
You have come in here and took to this hobby like a fish to water.

There are so many things that you can do, that is just not in my wheel house.

You make a day sunny for each and everyone of us.... :), and have become a reefing machine!!

The hobby saved me from depression. Lost my dream job and my pooch. Feel grateful to have found this community and the passion for the hobby that made me leave the bars and come back home.

Cheers freddie. And rip to the best 4 legged thing i ever met. I wouldnt have started this salt journey if i hadnt lost him.
