Way too kind, and thank you. Lots of respect for the other services. Y'all had your finger on the trigger during Desert Storm, and that added a level of comfort. Well, except what one time when a Patriot went after a C-141, but that wasn't the Army's bad.

Give YouTube a go! I'm sure you have lots to share. Hit me up if you want tips on gear, but remember I'm just a hobbyist with a camera, mic, lights, and an interest in knowing. Always so much to learn!

Cheers, and thanks again!

LOL!

Thank you and :

I'm honored to have you visit my build thread and a well known Youtuber to boot! Thank you for your service! (I'll forgive you for being Air force just because you worked on high level "stuff" LOL) Army vet here. Worked on BIG bombs as "glow worm" 55G.

I've been tossing around doing a Youtube channel for sometime now, just don't have all the "stuff" to do it yet. Maybe by the end of the year.

Update:

It's been a long, long time since I paid any attention to the frag tank:

Yep, plenty of green film algae! LOL

I've had L.A.R.S. pretty bad! LOL

Beautiful yellow sponge growing wildly in the sump.

Water change done. Killed several aiptasia this afternoon. Cleaned the skimmer cup, changed filter socks.

Tank is in great shape:

Just a couple random shots from Flippers Reef tonight, some of the newer corals:


Purple stylophora with it's crazy polyp extensions:

Pavona is still setting in. Not much if any polyp extensions. I think it's encrusting still:

Cyphastrea looks to be melting off the plug on to the rock, pretty cool!

Tyree pinky the bear acro is doing well with it's crazy polyp extensions:

And last but not least, the blue green Favia starting to spread out:

Yes, most of them. She has very good taste in corals!

My x used to help pick things too... she would bring home gems like... gsp and brown palys.

Update: Water change water made for tomorrow. Needed some frozen food and went a LFS that has it close by. Came out with some Acans that are orange. Pictures hopefully before lights out. Got to dip it first.

 

[Flippers4pups]

Still closed up.

Looking better today:
