Inflated even more today and tentacles are longer.

Placed an order with John @reefcleaners today for a bump to my CUC. Will arrive next week when I’m on vacation and getting a visit from my daughter and granddaughter.

100 dwarf cerith
20 Florida cerith
25 nassarius
20 zig zag periwinkle
5 limpets
4 porcelain crabs

All my base rocks and CUC in this tank and my last tank all came from Reefcleaners.

Never a disappointment

And still the clowns avoid it....

And still the clowns avoid it....

Me: Welcome to the Waldorf Astoria!

Clowns: no thanks, we prefer the Motel 6.

 

[Fudsey]

Same here, mine prefer the corner of the tank....

A local R2R member is coming by tonight to pick up my old IM30L system.

He checked it out the day I introduced the Mag to the tank.

That is such a great size to start with and I learned a lot with that whole system.

The best part is now I have a local reefer friend!

Introductions coming soon! @phongluc

I’ll give them some time. But sooner or later I’m gonna catch’em and send them down the clown tube straight into the nem!

The Mag is closing up properly tonight vs just deflating as it did the 1st 2 nights.

The tank is cruising along great. I’m super happy with everything right now.

All the fish seem very happy to and all 24 of them get along great. The coral beauty and the tomini tang have come to terms as well.

The only guy that just seems unhappy is Zorro, the foxface.

He eats pellets and nori and is actually a little chubby. But when he’s not eat, he just hides in a cave. He will move from one cave to another but he never has been out and about.

I wonder if my tank is large enough for him?

He doesn’t get harassed by anyone.

Anyone else with a foxface have anything to share? @Brew12 yours seems to be out in a lot of your pics?

Thanks for your time and lesson mike

My pleasure Lou! Looking forward to seeing the tank come together for you.

I’m here any time!

Loved that video, I have heard of doing that but never watched it done.

I may make my own video of it real soon! My clowns are in love with my power head right now [emoji21]
