Thank you.

I do try to make a point to keep up with them. They remind me where I started and how far I've come. And at the same time that I need to cave and cover the back glass, I don't like how the light from the fishroom shows through so brightly.

No particular purpose. I was trying out utilizing different combs and eggcrate to see the effect on the overflow sound.

Default The LAST big upgrade

I actually really like my lights. I love the kessil for spot lighting, e.g. for my bay of clams or plates. Its incredibly easy to use. I feel like I got a great fixture for the price and I will definitely be purchasing another in the future. For spread though and price I am pleased with my Hydras.

Eventually I do want to add two more fixtures, probably Hydra types, and kessils as needed.

My fish lately are just plumping out. I haven't added anything to my tank for awhile. I did add a fish to my QT yesterday. I'm very excited for this fish, I've wanted one for over a decade now.

My tank otherwise is just chugging along. I wouldn't mind adding a second auto feeder to my system, but its not something I really need. So in the mean time I just work at keeping my parameters where they should be while seeing how fat I can make my fish. I'd like to add more SPS, but I just can't justify the cost some of the local stores are wanting per frag right now.

Sailfin or Scopas tang? Looks like you were in front of Ocean Creation.

Thank you.

As of this morning Batman has made it to day 4/42 in his great QT adventure.

I also ordered a webcam this morning so I can creep on him, and eventually my tank from work.

Here is his original packaging.



And some of the rest of the gang. Excuse the algae, I just returned from driving coast to coast via the U.S.
