I so need to aquascape the upper tank. I have all of Franks awesome live rock to distribute amongst my tanks and there were 2 intricate rock structures that fell apart in my tank move that I need to fix still.

So when my wife and I got our place the garage was 'as-is'. 6 or 7 years later and we still havent dealt with it till now...

The original slab, poured in 1963, was cracked in a few spots and was spreading and taking the walls with it. I was worried it was going to fall down and take the cars or worse a person. Nonetheless, its on a grandfathered 2' setback instead of the neighborhoods typical 5' setback so it was uber important to keep it as is.
Ready for inspection and concrete!

reef just humming along.

Finally addressing my mangrove situation. There is enough room for it at the end of the bottom tank. It'll be behind the screen most of the time and will get its own dedicated light. I'll need to add a few more mangrove and add a fan.

got 2 cheep bumblebee shrimp for the mangrove tank!
already started putting my asterinas there...

Got My R2R Partner Member box too! my kids are so fighting over the keychain; it'll be a battle royale.
If you got extra tickets, which i did, they said they would toss in a towel, which they did not. :crying-face: Do those come separately?


drat. the asterina starfish don't have the kind of feet these shrimp eat.

Bumblebee shrimp after settling into the observation tank.
They’re eating!


Added a valve to the lower double tank so I can get more flow to the upper tank.
