ReefQueen's 90 Gallon Rescue Reef

[Karmann]

Yes we did, it was the perfect day for it too. I have to say after going so often (it's only about 20 minutes or so from my house) that some of the fun has worn off. If I had to drive 7 hours I'm sure I would enjoy it more though lol. My son is liking it more and more each year though (the first 2 years he was still sort of young for it) so I have more fun watching him then the animals...except the aquarium, everyone knows that I will fall behind in there lol.

Nice pictures, looks like a lot of fun.

Well I guess it's time for an update. The tank has been chugging along and has almost finished it's "uglies". Other then some diatoms and cyano on the sand bed and that "mystery algae" the popped up in the cube, it hasn't been bad. I went to CSEA and got a few things, honestly I was not expecting much from this one, but boy was I pleasantly surprised! It was much larger then I was expecting and we had a great time. I'll know to save my pennies for next year I'll dump some pics here, some of the corals are new, some I've had.

My center rock fell over in this pic, it took me a few days, but I finally fixed it lol. My 2 little wizards are creeping in there too, Merlin is up top, and Albus (known as Alby) is in the bottom corner.

OT: We also went to our first Steelers game. We both have lived in Pittsburgh our entire lives and somehow have never been to one before.

I really need to get my QT back up so I can get some more fish. I have had my stocking list picked out way before the tank was even set up. Also my clowns are back to laying eggs like clockwork again. Some day when I have more time I will try and raise a batch, that won't be anytime soon though so hopefully they continue to lay for a while

A few more from today/tonight.

Wish my phone would capture the color of this setosa:/ I really need to pull out the dslr one of these days.

still alive! Maybe sps doesn't hate me anymore lol.

I have had these leathers for about 6 years now, they suddenly decided they want to have green polyps, I'm not complaining

I have been thinking of selling my ramping light and swapping out the boards on the marsaquas so both sides of the tank match. I am never home while the light is ramping to appreciate it, and I really don't want to go through programming another light to match the one I have lol. Decisions decisions either way the tank will be fully lighted by sbreef lights wonderfulness

Weird, whenever you said "I love fleury" my phone changed it to asterisks I do use an app, to fix the white balance, but I don't care enough to do much else lol. If I really feel like getting fancy I will bust out the dslr, but don't hold your breath for that

Everything looks very happy and healthy.

I added these cuties to deal with my aiptasia that is getting out of hand. Joe's juice and aiptasia x are no longer taking these guys out, and a file fish and peppermint shrimp are out of the question with all the LPS, so here's hoping these guys continue to do a good job

I have the bestest friend ever, I got my Christmas gift early and it is an adorable little scoly! She knows me so well

I also had to work black Friday when one of the LFS were having an awesome sale on some clams, so she picked one up for me It is a squamosa who has been dubbed "The Tiny", I will have to try and get a pic of him tomorrow. He seems to be adjusting well, but I swear I have yet to see him fully open because my tang swims above him every minute or so, causing get him to flinch into his shell a bit each time:/ I also added an anemone crab, somehow I have never had one of these guys before and I feel like I've been missing out! They are so neat to watch and I want about 50 more lol.

Here is "The Tiny"

Great looking tank, glad everything worked out for you.

How was it working with the JB water weld? would you recommend it?
