Mike's Red Sea Reefer 525 XL build

[mta_morrow]

I trust my lfs implicitly, things float, water cupped in every 5 minutes, more the last 2 times, I then sink the bag and fish are allowed to swim out by the scape, less stress.

I would love to have my old LFS back.

Full quarantine prior to sale. And 800 gallons of prime frag tanks.

Bring anything home, temp acclimated, in the tank

I trust my LFS store too. I trust that they will have 0.1ppm copper in the water with their fish and that the salinity will be 1.017. Not a chance I would let that water (or untreated fish) into my DT!

I'll send microwave popcorn. You are gonna spend mindless hours watching them!

 

[Crabby48]

@Katrina71 I got a box of popcorn from Costco so it’s the lifetime size box.

I think it would be neat if everyone gets to gather and stocks my tank when I’m not home. I like surprises and trust that I would end up with health happy fish

Amen! My lfs was crowded last night. It was wonderful. They have just made some changes and it was great to see them busy. I would miss them greatly if I didn't have them to rely on for my livestock.

I added the nudibranchs on December 27.

Over the last 3 days, certain patches of aiptasia are GONE!

Including 2 that were huge.

I’m hopeful!

Oh I'm sorry. Did a quick scan to catch up and missed that ;Bookworm

 

[mta_morrow]

So I’m off Friday for a WC and tank maintenance.

Figured I would order something to add to the tank as well.

Sandbed will soon be full!

I think this is the most excited I have been about getting a piece of live stock!

 

[Fudsey]

Curious....
