Whatcha looking at ;)
Either Palmetto or Zuess. Zuess is locally CNCed in the shop I'm probably buying from. Gonna do the regular one first and then a 300 Blackout upper eventually - maybe at the same time.

So I got ambitious and went ahead and made the "Egg Crate Fuge Stand" EggRagoRack shelf today. Annnnnnd another Smidget rock.

Also, set up the 10 gallon ATO under the tank instead of using a 5 gallon bucket.

I used egg crate, a heat gun, Aragocrete, and some silly putty but it works!

Well... I got some Sea Lettuce when I first set up the 125. It died.

Recently I started finding what sure looks and feels like Sea Lettuce in the Fuge growing on some of the media. Yesterday I noticed some green on the hanging rack. Today, I looked and noticed what appears to be Sea Lettuce - and quite a bit of it - growing on the rack.

I'm thinking about taking it out and doing a peroxide dip.

Thoughts? Will peroxide kill Ulva or whatever it is?

My Blennies, Tang, and Foxface are keeping it short but that's the rack for some of my Acros and I don't want it taking over...

people changing their profile pics should be a group decision or disallowed completely. It's really throwing me off. I DO NOT DEAL WELL WITH CHANGE

I got a few frags with that stuff and it started to spread. Only way I got rid of it was scraping it off everything it was on and or peroxide.
Mine started in the Fuge.
