Got a few more corals from Blue Line Coral auctions. picked up an old RODI I am turning into reactors. got two used BRS 1.1 ml doser pumps. And I came across a dragon wrasse that needed a good home...
re-upped my Phyto water, cleaned out my saltwater bucket and started a new batch.
sucked-out a bunch of detritus from the corners of the DT.

Looks like a frag tank, you do have sand for it right as it's a sand sleeper. It's gonna tip over your frags NON stop and toss your sand everywhere. Had one for about 6 months, he got exiled back to the LFS. Got tired of the cloudy water from its sillyness. But they are a COOL looking fish when transitioned.

he is in a 15 gallon tank attached to my 120. It was originally going to be an exile tank for the misbehaving fish but it turned into an 'off the Timmy menu tank' when I got an Emperor Angelfish rehomed to me. He grunts like Tim Allen.
Eventually the frags will go into a proper frag tank and he'll have the 15 mostly to himself for awhile before I trade him in. I have smaller fish in my 120 - which is bare bottom so not really a good fit for him.

Awful shot because of blues… but here is another one of the bite marks
I dont believe they are bite marks... when large leathers split they almost look like they start rotting from ulcers in the middle...

Back up to 90 ml/hr Kalkwasser. Its so nice having the ATOR auto fill and the Kalk automatically made...
I don't have daily tank chores besides feeding which is nice.
My aqualifter pump broke and the CO2 scrubber got too hard for the skimmer to pull through so I disabled it for now... I need to redo it on the ceiling of the cabinet so the hoses stay empty of water.

I built a 10x10 gambrel style shed with a loft just before covid, I can't believe the cost of wood now!

I know! I was amazed this kit cost as little as it did. Usually I design/build like my kids climbing structure; but this one my wife just got it and told me I'm building it...
