There's something fishy about this build...

Happy might be a stretch. They are all at least somewhat alive…
Not dead, though!

Uhhh
I was about to say this is the best-named coral I have ever seen, but then I read it out loud and realized it made no sense.
@Battlecorals ?
 
@Slocke have you gotten a chance to try the mackerel yet with the eels? I did a mix of mackerel, octopus, and a couple shrimp (only for the zebra eel as he only eats shrimp and clam) tonight for eels and other fish in the 240 gallon. Everyone seemed very happy. I don't think I've ever seen the fimbriated eat so much at once.
 
Is it me or does that new guy in the wrasse thread seems kinda rude when he answers people?

Not yet. I don’t feed mine very often. They are on the rare gorge diet Lion King recommended.

Yeah… one reason I’ve lost enthusiasm for that thread

I'd wait till the weather improves to get a battlebox. Adam is great with shipping but why put him in a position that may make him have to resend an order. Plus if you wait a month or so they may start up a new grow out that you can hop in on too. @Mschmidt seems to have the dl on the grow outs.

For sure, Adam will hold onto your order for as long as is needed to make sure you're pieces arive in perfect health.

Fine, fine. He does have one millipora that is out of stock that looks awesome so maybe that will come back in stock. https://battlecorals.com/products/dirty-rainbow
I do have $600 of free coral, so I'm thinking a mix of battlebox and individual selections as I do not want more than 10 frags.
 
So, I finally cleaned the glass and pulled out a lot of algae. Wow, three panes totaling 20 square feet take a long time to clean (and, of course, the fish keep splashing too). Dino's definitely did some damage, especially to the birds-nest and my poor blasto. Strangely enough, my acro's did fine, across 11 of them, two have grown a good amount, and two have lost about half an inch. Another weird thing is my micromussa; my ugly green one, died while my beautiful red stripe-y one has grown a ton, weird. So overall, it's about par. Almost everything is opening up again, though, so I think I'm back on track.
