What do everyone think about these? ^

Yeah, I know hopefully they still look nice.

Love that arch! I am watching that SBB sale closely too, but waiting to see what remains after more markdowns—I’m not picky, haha.

Curious about the feather dusters—did they come as hitchhikers or did you buy them somewhere? I have one tiny tube worm but would love actual feather dusters—but the ones I see for sale in the LFSs are all in super big tubes.

They came as hitchhikers, I love them.

Jealous! I have some interesting hitchhikers, like a Medusa worm and a peanut worm (and the aforementioned tube worm that is barely visible) but nothing actually attractive like yours. Weirdos are fun, I guess

Curious what kind of stand did you use? I’m currently looking for a stand that would work for this exact tank.

Hope you grow enough algae to keep it busy! Mine goes nonstop on my heavily-encrusted rocks, scraping them so clean I can barely believe it. They’re so fun to watch, check out my weirdo:

Yeah I’ve been watching mine nonstop

 

[ZzyzxRiver]

Yeah I’ve been watching mine nonstop

It’s even better after a few days, they get more comfortable exploring and being out at daytime! Mine has 3 months of algae buildup to catch up on, and watching the rock surfaces reappear bit by bit is sooooo satisfying.

Another SBB coral today

Sbb "king kong" mushroom

Nice setup and coral selection! Can’t wait to see this tank exploded with colors.

Btw: I have (had) the same tank and literally just drained it 2hrs ago due to recent upgrade. Sweet setup - I love the low profile setup, very easy to do maintenance.
