Ha! I have been extremely busy. My kids started back at school and that has filled up my schedule with meetings more then I recall in years past. Got a fantasy football draft tonight to prepare for!

The tank is still wet and the fish are swimming. Hopefully I can get a legit update later this week.

Did you call me sister? :D

I hear that! I’ve been slammed at work since my employees all went back. It’s hard for them to work 12hrs a week with school... lol!

Glad to hear tanks doing well!

Sister haha! Always! Tired of the “bro” trend ;)

Rearranged the mushroom collection and moved them all together in the big tank, we will see how they like their new spot front and center.

A few cellphone shots:

That is a very nice collection! What is your favorite one?

The origninal WWC Bounce mushroom is my favorite, I have had her just about 5 years now :0

The Berserker on the far left is a favorite too, it gets so big and has great color and texture. It is a bit shrunk up in the picture from being moved around.

Here is a live look for those interested: https://video.nest.com/live/1kJYjB15OH

The golden rhomboid wrasse was just flashing its colors and dancing with the female flame wrasse on camera. Those two have been doing that quite regularly.

How is the tank doing? How about some new pics?

Funny you should mention it. I was thinking about taking a big batch of pictures tomorrow. I have the day off and the kids will be out of the house for most of the day! So, if I can pull myself away from Battlefield V I will take some pictures!

The tank is doing fantastic, some of the best acro colors I have ever had and I will give much of the credit to rock solid stable Alk thanks to the Alkatronic. I have been busy and not tested very often, but the Alkatronic tests every 8 hours :).

Like I said, I have been busy, but I did manage to be a guest host on Tidal Garden's latest live show (which is really fun to do).
