Despite the looks they're actually incredibly loving and friendly cats hahaha (he says with scratch marks everywhere haha)Man, these cats would give me creeps to enter the house...
Can you not exchange them for something like this
But I love how the tank is coming together.
No one wins that battle but the cats ;Hilarious
It would need to be a very strong structure!
Shots fired! ;Hilarious ;Hilarious
Don't let them fool you, they love attention almost as much as they love food!! haha
It's okay, we all bow down to them in this household haha it's a requirement for any and all guests!
Whippeee
might have had to jump on some new fish! I do have some sad bad news from the tank world, I'm not sure what happened but one of the days/nights I wasn't at the tank I lost Burgers, the declivis and Marcy I have no idea what happened but it was a huge blow to me to love such loved fish, especially Burgers On the flip side of that one of the lfs's that I trust with fish messaged me out of the blue to say that he'd come across another prognathodes marcellae and so in a moment of weakness I made the decision to get another because opportunities like this are rare and far between! They also had a gorgeous little flameback angel that I also threw in!Overall these are really healthy baby fish and I'm excited to watch them thrive and grow in the tank! I also picked up some new rock and the RADIONS today
I will be mounting those bad boys as soon as possible haha

I have ALWAYS wanted a flameback! I have had about 4 opportunity's to buy one over the years but I still can't make myself pull the trigger on a pygmy/dwarf angel in case it wants to eat corals and clams!
I am really keen to see how your one goes.

You best not look at the list of dwarf angels I want to add then haha plus the butterflies
I've completely abandoned the idea of any LPS in the tank lol it's all going to be sps, shrooms and zoas haha I'll definitely be posting lots of updates though!I can't remember haha and yep, anything that's micro-brewery or fancy commands a premium price haha definitely worth every penny though! Beer for you guys is so much cheaper though haha
Whoever works at that place has fantastic handwriting.
OH, and $$$ on those Radions, this build is adding up fast!

They can definitely be very cute when they want to be hahaStuff the lights I'm sure they will be fine, awwwwwwwwwww kitties!
I know right! I was very surprised how nice the writing on the bags was!! haha
Definitely $$$ haha thankfully most of it was in store credit from coral selling otherwise I definitely wouldn't have gotten radions haha bought all the kit and caboodle for mounting the lights too!
I'm hoping they'll be mounted by tonight!! Need to find a better stud finder though haha the one I have isn't very good lol
My favorite stud finder is a powerful magnet, great at finding the nails that attach to studs!
We FINALLY got our couches!!
That room looks great. We just finished our move this past week. My couches don't have the legs back on them as to not scratch up our new floor. And all my crap is still in the middle of every room while we finish painting.
I had this idea in my head that we'd be done in a weekend, moving, painting, etc. I finally understand it now when folks aren't really even moved in a year later, lol. The tank is the only thing left in the old place, it's kind of cool, like I'm starting an aquarium!

Thanks for the 35 notifications @bubbaque hahaha
It's a bit of an odd wall otherwise I'd go the magnet route haha I'm just going to buy a decent finder, turns out the one I did buy is garbage haha
I'll let Georgia know haha she's put a lot of time and effort into sorting that room out! Our garage is lined with boxes haha and we still have a fair bit of stuff to sort and sift through but I definitely want to be 100% unpacked by the end of the year haha it's so much work to do isn't it!

So ~4hrs of ab+ 100% and then 4hrs of blues 100% plus some ramping? What, total light time do you, run and how high off the water?
I plugged one in last night and holy smokes they're bright! I really like the colour of all channels on too!!
bubbaque
Follow me on Instagram @ Bubbaquecorals
Total of 11hrs that includes 1 1/2 hrs ramp up and down and 8 hrs full intensity. I run that at 100% 17” off the water surface.
Yeah they are bright for sure. They get hot also when on so be careful not to have the lens laying face down on something or it will burn the lens.

Awesome, thanks for that Bubba! I have them now mounted at about 17-18" and I'll be doing a similar schedule to you!
haha I've seen that mistake made by others and I know how hot those things can get!!
In some very exciting news, I got off my bum last night and finally got these bad boys mounted
The cats are loving the new couches too and it's SO NICE TO HAVE REAL COUCHES AGAIN haha

It took me quite some time to get the hang of it but they're all programmed now too!! haha
Next job is to sort out a few things in the sump and get a small crappy led light for the clowns to live under haha
Then it'll be onto organising the electrical! Haha (I'm hooking the Skimmer co2 tonight haha)
