my new baby... AKA The Café

[Lost in the Sauce]

Old house hit the market Friday, and is on contract pending inspection as of yesterday. Inspection is Thursday.

Old house sale gives me the tank money for big peninsula at new house. Time to start thinking.

Dang, that's fast. Congrats

They're on my list.

Really it's a matter of if Matt wants to deal with building the stand right away or not.

It's going right in the entry way of the house as a room divider and this dude is all about aesthetics lol. I know whatever we do needs to either blend into the bar nicely or be a perfect match.

Just to have a tank upstairs that's never been compromised. In case the aquabiomics comes back terrible.

Awesome! I’m so glad I went with a peninsula it gives you twice the viewing pleasure and way more area to fill with corals.

Mine matches my bar but I plan to sell my bar and build one into my tank and stand.. that’s the next project when work let’s up a little bit.. this side will have a “ L “ shape bar top down this side of the tank and out a couple feet. I don’t have any good pictures or recent ones but the cube is gone obviously.. the bar top will be flush with bottom of the tank and wrap around and create a little sitting area on that side.. my set up now looks just like the last picture but the cube has been replaced with the big pen…

I am local to Tidal Gardens and saw these in person. Fell in love with the semi industrial look as well as all of the customization options. This video explains a lot about them. I will get you personalized pix as well, or check our my build thread. I made my own slide in panels for the sides and doors because I had a specific look I wanted. Hope this helps.

I know, you run a lot like me. But I still value your opinion!

But, are corals looking happy?

Just the Gonis and one Alveopora seem a little sad. I lost a Mille to RTN two or three weeks ago as well. LPS over all seem to o be loving life but the torch has his cranky days. Two or 3 Milles are really basing out, 1 more is growing and branching some, but the rest just sit there with no PE but good flesh and good color. In fact, one Tenuis fell in my torch the other day, lost a branch but that branch is almost fully healed after 4 days so I'd guess it's doing good even though it has little PE? Leptos are encrusting, Porites is good, BTAs are full and bubbly...

We are going to have gains and losses when it comes to settling in frags. You know that.

Reducing nutrients, don't dose coral foods if you have been. Let the ulva grow in sump. It should take awhile before they show results in removing access nutrients.

Does the ulca have a good light source?

Any nippers in the tank such as a coral beauty etc? Polyp extension isn’t really a sign of healthy Sps.. I have some that are super fluffy and others don’t show a single hair but grow well.. check at night time if they’re extending or not and that will give you a better idea. If they don’t extend at night it could be an issue.. to be honest I never saw day time polyp extension till I started feeding reef roids during the day. From the sounds of it your tank is doing fine..

If I still had my melanurus, i would never find these babies. Ever..
Yes, I remove what life I can from filter socks.
The current wrasse don't find these littles tasty. I wonder why?


Yes, they're alive.

And a micro star.
