I received a box of rocks today.

I wish I could send you this, one of the blue kenya frags in the puddle, it would look nice next to your cespitularia.

[Lowell Lemon]

Love the tour through your city! Now I can visit anytime I like without the crazy of traveling these days! Have a great day Brian!

 

[PanchoG]

Great pics Brian on the Rockefeller Center, they make me miss traveling.

Howdy folks.

Is been a while since I've checked in.
I'm happy to see everyone is doing relatively well despite our current troublesome times.

@NY_Caveman your pics really make me homesick.
I miss my city!

I see all the reefs and corals and fish pics on here. They are fantastic. My build is slowly coming along but not near where some of you guys are at. I've still got a lot of work to do.

Anyway...
Just wanted to stop in and say hello, see the pics and spread the love.

Hello brother. Love the clowns been together! Thanks for sharing the beauty of the city. So much love and hard work went into things back then. Not so much anymore

 

[Crabby48]

Misfits of the best kind glad to be one with you

I second this. Proud to be a misfit with the rest of you.

Your clowns look amazing dancing in thier anemone

@NY_Caveman your pics of NY are breathtaking. So much history and architecture.

Had a weird morning with the tank. Came home from work and the water level in the display was high. I looked in the back AIO chambers and the level was over the baffles. Happened to be investigating right when the float switch alarm on the ATO went off. Hmmmm....

First thing was to power off the return pump and the ATO. I pulled the return, tubes and RFG nozzles to check for blockage. Despite months past due maintenance, they were surprisingly clean. Scratched my head. ATO sensors seemed fine.

Then I found the issue. Both overflows were clogged with gunk and algae growth. Yeah, I have become pretty lazy. Seems the level in the display rose due to that. Then of course the back chambers were lower causing the ATO to dump in RO/DI. The conductivity was down to 50.7 mS/cm from 53 (down to about 1.045 in specific gravity).

I pulled about a gallon of water out and left the ATO off to allow the SG to rise slowly. All seems to be working fine now.

Yeah, the algae shows how lazy I am. BTW, check out how big the clone anemone is now (left) compared to the original (right)

Finally, a decent shot of the Clownfish together in the original anemone.

Naughty, naughty snails! ;Hilarious

Good the floors stayed dry.

Tank looks perfect to me I love it. Did the male clown grow since I was there? He looks much bigger but hard to tell in the photos

 

[NY_Caveman]

The male has really grown the past couple of weeks. Seems after a long period of learning to submit they are hanging out socially all the time. My guess is this makes him bolder at feeding time, although he may just be growing into his stature as a mature male. Maybe they will learn something from the dirty snails, LOL!

 

[Crabby48]

That is awesome. I’m excited to see my pair spawn. If your clowns spawn before mine send a video I can play for mine.

beautiful....
