I am. There's hope. What about you?
Box on it's way this morning some time. Can't wait to load all my goodies into the tank! Can't put them in the frag tank until I finish the antibiotic course though. 8 days... started yesterday when everything came in.

Well good news and very bad news. We got back from our trip to Legoland late Monday so the lights had been off on the tank for a few hours. I did a quick glance in the tank and everything looked normal so i went to bed. My shipment was at the house yesterday when i got home and knowing i had a monumental task ahead of me with about 60 corals to acclimate, dip and place i got right to it. After finding places to put all the bags to stary acclimating i grabbed some frozen food to feed the fish that have been on auto feeders since Thursday. Well apparently one of my fish decided it didnt want to eat freeze dried, flake and pellet food so it ate a ton of my zoas including my acid trips, exospheres, SBB haephastus, SBB marvin the martian, SBB aphrodite, death star, citrus circus, bob marley mini colony, island time mini colony and worst of all 10 of 18 stratospheres!!! It looks like it aimed for all of the high end zoas and left the cheapies of course! I took the top off the cage i built for the strats to get a little better flow and light to them and they have been fine, but stupidly didnt put it back on before leaving for my trip knowing the fosh were going to be on prepared foods for an extended amount of time. They have done fine for 3-4 days on auto feeders in the past but never 6 days. At least i still have some strats left! Anyways, after 4-1/2hrs pf unpacking i only managed a few photos of not great quality with the corals on my new sky deck. Here is also a short video to start the day.

That sucks. Sorry to hear about the zoas. Hopefully, the strats will bounce back.

Man so sorry to hear about that. That fish has expensive tastes.

Also, yes, of course I clicked it.
