He is a good speaker... and philanthropist ;)

This is my algae dealing method: (I said rip-clean because it was easier but I do most of it in the tank.)

I clip the filter socks into the sump but basically the same!

Trying to talk my wife into a FAT one spot. Dude is healthy looking and $70. She said I get paid on Thursday so... Maybe.

We all know why it’s “almost”!
Nope, that would have been a "ask for forgiveness" purchase. It was labeled $35 I believe so it was under the threshold of "I might get killed in my sleep" aka $50... The fish wasn't looking healthy so I didn't want to risk it.

Yep. She's the one with the .308 that sleeps next to me.
 
I was having so many bad prints from poor adhesion I fianlly made a decent enclosure for the enders.

Rock for the 15Gallon is cooking! I drilled many frag-plug holes in the rock because they'll make it much harder for the dragon wrasse to dislodge my corals.
He'll still pile gravel on them though...

This feels really nice to see. I could never get these numbers without CO2 scrubbing. My Top-of-Skimmer scrubber has been effortless to maintain.

Which Petco do you go to? I'm right across the border in NWI and don't mind a drive. I've never been to reefwise either. Field Trip this weekend? Lol
Took that field trip. I didn't have the time to get to Petco. I did visit reefwise and Wojteks Reef. Reefwise has an awesome selection of coral and their display is gorgeous. Wojteks Reef has a very large selection of ABSOLUTE FIRE and he's a really nice, down to earth guy. I grabbed five frags from him for a very reasonable price. If you're in the Schaumburg area check him out. You won't be disappointed!

I'm gonna throw a huge second to Wojtek's Reef. If you've never gone, you cannot appreciate how much this dude invests his time and care into his tanks. He and Adam remind me a lot of each other in the best ways.

He must definitely does.
