My automatic feeder has been WAYYYY overfeeding my tank... today going to be a long day of cleanup....

Here’s what my slimmer pulled since Saturday:

Did a bit of work to my sump installing my new reactor as well as picked up some new additions thanks to @BoomCorals and their irresistible acros.

Paul looks like a wrasse.

Some recent eye candy additions from WWC, Supreme Reefs (local to me) and Pacific East Aquaculture(also local) which I got to go view in person, which was pretty awesome. I also picked up a golden blenny.

Unfortunately, it seems a few of the guys I picked up from WWC did not handle shipping well, but I have no doubt they will be awesome like always.

We must be pretty near each other. PEA is 20 minutes from me. I can’t wait to get in there and go wild. I’m holding off on corals until I move in the next few months.

It’s just shy of 2 hours for me.. I’m located in DC. Their store is awesome, and the frags are very reasonably priced, with pretty much all of them at $25 a piece, including some good size acros (the very encrusted ones on my rack picture) and those orange acans I picked up.

Welcome back to the hobby. If you're interested, theres going to be a frag swap on Jan 19th at Thatpetplace in Lancaster, PA, which maybe is about 2.5hrs from you. Many people from our area travel up for the goodies.

I went my first time in October and there was a great turn out with great people, great pieces, and all very reasonably priced all around.

Finally getting the hang of this photography thing again... Ordered a proper macro lens for my A6000 which should be here on wednesday!

cant wait to see this guy from @BoomCorals grow out!

...And finally a halfway decent photo of my anemone from @Supreme Reefs

Here I was lurking through threads trying to plan my first tank and find some locals.
I am near Annapolis Md.
Thanks for the name of two coral shops to write down. I thought I was going to only have house of tropics.

Check out www.wamas.org its our local club and has an awesome LFS map. I’ve been to most, Supreme reefs has the best coral by far, PEA is also awesome but it’s a bit far. Tropical lagoon in silver spring usually has a great fish/dry goods selection.

Fintastic is also up in the Frederick, MD area.

Thanks I’ll check those out too

Ordered a ClariSea SK-3000 in an effort to reduce maintenance as much as possible on my tank.

I’m tired of leaving for a weekend away and coming home to a disaster of a tank, and my traveling will only progress as the year moves on.

Next on the list is the Reef Octopus Regal 200INT
