What did you do with your reef today? Did you do any maintenance? Work on any projects? Just sit and appreciate your tank?

Give us a quick answer and maybe share a photo of your tank!

Thanks for the reminder, I need to feed it!

Cleaned the glass, filled the ATOs, harvested a tank of T-ISO and finalized parts list for rebuilding my saltwater mixing station as cheap Lowes valves are failing. Wow. Did more than I thought. Failed to take a photo though and lights are out now.

been cutting up/hammer drilling and hammer a chiseling the 150 pounds of pukani rock for the new tank.
The 0ld 300 is coming down and new bigger tank going in its place.
90x36x24..
The new tank is still dry...almost done with the new rock structure. Then off to soak in the dark for 30 days or so

Checked out an LFS that apparently moved right down the road from my parents’ house, while I was out there with my daughter. Treated myself to these 2 as a Father’s Day gift to myself.

Bought a new light and an ATO, then stared at this goober for a bit

Now those are some great gifts to yourself!

Oh man, hope he recovers ok. Glad he's getting the TLC.

Well yesterday got a shrimp and moved a few corals around to see if they would be happier there. So far have only spotted the shrimp this morning. Has been hiding the rest of the time but it at least ate my aiptasia.

I tried to move my ruby red xenia, my derasa clam was underneath it, and it has clamped down on it. Rude. I am hoping it will relax and open back up so I can relocate the derasa

Changed the carbon and took BC contest pics. Also emptied the protein skimmer.

This a thoughtfully executed and visually appealing scape. Great design!

Glad he is getting rid of the aiptasia for you!

I cleaned my Tunze powerheads by soaking in diluted muriatic acid while running and then brushing with a toothbrush. Flow was greatly improved since coralline and green algae was clogging the inlets.

It's been over a year since I started the tank with then, so it was overdue. Not my favorite chore, however. lol

Fed fish, as I do every morning. Dosed some Elimi NP, and added some water to my CO2 scrubber.

On Saturday, I got a TINY skunk cleaner shrimp and a couple of XL nassarius snails that are huge (beyond what I've ever seen before).

I just setup the QT on Friday so had moved some rock from the back of my main tank into the QT and did a water change on main tank.

This guy is TINY -- pictures don't capture how small he really is:

Micro brittle stars came out of the rock I moved and started spawning:
*I started the QT at 34 ppt salinity instead of normal 35 ppt so I think that probably triggered a survival instinct spawn
