I’m another old guy who returned about 1 year ago. It is great to be back in it. As you have probably noticed a lot has changed. The plentiful and beautiful live rock is harder to find. Prices, wow! But new corals and a lot of domestically breed fish. What is with these frag plugs? Best of luck and I’ll be following!

Thank you! Yes shell shocked haha! Glad I have the skills to pay the bills! It saves me a ton of money but I can’t make coral or fish :sad: hopefully can trade some work and fill this thing!

Picked up a bigger skimmer.. I wasn’t happy with that little red devil skimmer it was underrated for my system.. scored a curve 5 for $40! I cleaned it up spotless and it started skimming in less than 10 min! No break in that’s crazy! The cup from my other is the size of the neck on this bad boy lol..

 

[Troylee]

Traded my little skimmer for a purple and green hammer.. also picked up a pair of baby storm clowns today.. got them acclimated and put them in the tank and my chalk bass chased one into the rocks and I can’t find him now . I need to get what ever filter to take pics it’s driving me crazy lol.. hopefully the little guy comes out.. the other one is swimming around lost lol..

I like all the DIY work you've done, the stand, light mount and lid all look excellent.
