haha yep! He only asked for help on the day of the tanks delivery but I want to be there as an extra set of hands on the days either side of that just in case! Even if I only spend the day talking haha I also fragged up a bunch of things for him as well, some uncommon goodies so he can show off! lol

I tried two before but they got beat up by the basslet and each other so I'm hopeful that with odd numbers and more of them, there won't be many issues

Well a small pictureless update lol things are doing really well in the tank! I've upped my dosage of Chroma+ and Energy+ to 4 drops a day and things seemed to have taken off from it! I've also started feeding a small amount of AF Power Food as some corals were definitely lacking a bit of extra food and they've responded really well!
I'm in the process of a mind-blowing non-sps order at the moment as I'm waiting for my LFS to get acro's and the new tanks done so I can start buying from him!! Also I have the 5 day weekend of helping out with the new tanks arriving at the LFS next week and I couldn't be more excited!! Going to be a fun week lol and I'll probably go in after work on Thurs and Fri to help out with the bucket loads of corals he's got coming in haha 7 orders in total arriving next week!!

Not nearly as much as I should be haha been pretty slack the last few weeks! lol
Seems my coral have been thriving at 6dKH, took a week to bring up to 9. Crazy, I guess the lesson is, test alk!
Also, mind blowing should be accompanied with pictures, blow my mind, brah!

Well as you know I took a few days off at the start of the week to go help out my mate at his store get his all new tanks setup and installed and they look INCREDIBLE!! Here's some teasers but no pics till he's posted them lol I'm not going to steal his thunder haha @samparker and I spend all day lifting and filling and there was also a lot of chilling too haha wasn't a particularly stressful day haha
Here's all the crates ready to be unloaded and yes every single one of us cut ourselves on the steel framing of the crates haha
The calm before the storm
The destruction we left behind
And you'd never even know there had been new tanks delivered!

It's definitely gaining a lot more popularity with improved AIO systems and the accessibility of Facebook but it's still very niche here and it's very easy to know/recognise most of the serious hobbyists names too so still small but growing and getting better knowledge

Well I spent the weekend giving the tank some lovely love! Cleaned out all of the grossness and snail graveyard in the sump in preparation for some new goodies that are coming soon! I had a "helper" for most of the time too, this little butthead knows she can get on the calcium reactor to see in the tank haha
I got myself a new fish, one that I've been wanting for some time now. A forktail fang blenny! This means I know how two blennie who don't eat algae haha but they're so nice I couldn't!
It's pretty amazing how quickly he turns on the stress colours too. One moment in the acclimatisation jug he's looking gorgeous and the next after I add some more tank water I get this! lol
I also finally found a goni to add to the left side of my duo! A beautiful pale pink goni!
The sump is definitely spick and span and my big orange mumma shroom is just the best!
I also went a little hotsauce mad last week haha
And to finish it all off, here's a REALLY quick FTS under the halide with everything looking terrible haha
