AliExpress. But honestly, I would go with a good blackbox unless you're looking to do a small-ish cube. Par just wasn't there.

@samnaz how is your CUC acclimating? Seems half of mine started moving, but the other half seems dormant. Pretty much none of the hermits seem to be moving. Dwarf ceriths for the list part are moving, trochus are moving, nassarius moving. Emerald I can see is alive but hasn't left his spot on the rock.
Hoping the ones not moving aren't all dead.

I’d pull em out and sniff, quickest easiest way to be sure they aren’t dead. My CUC order is doing fantastically but it only consisted of two Mithrax crabs and a cowrie (and some macro algae). IME hermits are pretty hardy. Hoping for the best.

Yeah I'm gonna yank em tomorrow and give them a sniff. Most snails seem to be good. The red hermits are the questionable ones.

Moved into the big house...
CUC update:
Seems none of the 3 red hermits made it.... Well, jury still out on one. The other two have become lunch for the blue hermits. Not sure if they're going lord of the flies on me or if they kicked it overnight. Snails are still cruising. I dropped in aglea wafer and have dropped in some reef frenzy for the meat eaters. Hopefully it's enough.

So for some reason, within the last week, PO4 has been bottoming out. I've been dosing it back to 0.08 but so far it goes back to 0 within a couple days. Not really sure what's using it up as I'm not running GFO or any macro algea.
Uglies might be starting up and that's what may be taking them up.
Next order of fish is approaching:
Flame hawkfish
Diamond goby
Melanaurus wrasse
Carpenters wrasse
Red Head Solon fairy wrasse

That's why im a bit hesitant about dosing, but I also REALLY don't want to get dinos, haha.
I guess I'll see what I end up with.
