What a long strange ride it's been! 9 months in, and now a 9 week old child needing my attention too! I've fought dino's and cyano, and won. Now it's GHA, which I'm not worried about at all. Wife won't approve 2 more MP40's, so there's cords in the tank now ;Blackeye. But all in all, this pain in the rear dry rock is maturing, FINALLY. I've been using cone head snails to up the biodiversity (they tend to carry a lot on thier shells). Unfortunatly I can't get the cone heads through QT alive. The nerite and cerinth's survive though.

But wait, what's this. I couldn't get the MP 40's... but I did get something to go in here!

Have you found you have less time for the tank with your new child? My wife’s due in June...
looks like your reef is thriving!

First child?? Congratulations and get ready!! These first few months have been a whirlwind! I try to fit at least 2 hours a week of maintenance in. If I'm really lucky I can service the tank twice a week for a total of 4 hours. Since I beat dyno and cyano, the tank is a lot less maintenance. Older tanks typically are!

The scape is so awesome man! How's the crazy mad scientist fish room treating you?? :D
Thank you! Sometime I think, man, i would do everything different. But like just now, I mixed new saltwater and did a water change with the press of like 3 switches and a ball valve. It's all good :)

Oh yeah, cant forget to mention I started dosing amio acids this week, and the hype is real. My yellow tips austere started showing its first yellow tips about 2 days ago, and all the other frags look 10x better.
I also added a chiller to my system as temps we going over 80. Now it's a nice 77.

Looking good. How are the corals in QT doing. Or have they made their way to the display,
Thanks! Their all in the main display now. I was having issue with temperature in the fish room, even with HVAC, until I got the chiller for the display. All the corals are from WWC, so I'm not too concerned with it not being a full 76 days. Not all a are "planted" yet though. Few still on racks.
