SaltwaterandLime's epic adhd build thread....

[SaltwaterandLime]

How do you like the lid? I'm thinking about going with them for my 40b.

I absolutely love it. This is my second lid from them, the quality has been amazing on both. And they are really easy to work with if you have a custom request

Oh..... and apparently I have an aptasia problem

Don't we all lol

Nice. Yours looks sharp with the green feeding tube.

My new lid and feeder cup came in from Josh at Kraken reef.

What was the lead time on the Kraken Reef lid? I’ve been looking at a few companies for one on my WB Cube20.

They told me 4 weeks but it was less than that

I bought some peppermint shrimp for aiptasia.

Great build thread. Adding the backstory really makes the thread that much better. And I enjoyed reading about how you’re planning and budgeting to upgrade. Well done and the Peninsula 25 looks great.

Nice haul.I was only wanting a a nice Scoly. They only offered one Warpaint. Oh well. I did order a Kraken Reef lid for my WB Cube 20 AIO since I didn’t buy any coral.

Been there before.

This little guy is visiting for a little bit. I'm borrowing him in the hopes that he nibbles at some of my aptasia.

File fish has earned some time in fishy prison and will be going back to his regular home this weekend. He decided he prefers to eat tracyphillia instead of aptasia, and I would rather not keep a fish that that expensive of tastes.

When I transferred everything from the 10gal into the 25, I used brand new sand. I knew that meant I would probably go through a few ugly phases again. I'm just annoyed that dinos decided to show up again. Just finished hooking up the 8w UV sterilizer again. Last time it cleared it up within Just a few days.

I have been slowly making the change from Reef Crystals salt over to Brightwell NeoMarine. It's a big difference in parameters but I'm really happy with how much cleaner it mixes and how stable it is in storage.

Received my 3d printed frag racks from Rhinosreef today. They are absolutely amazing! Chris found a way to combine both of my obsessions into one product and I couldn't be happier with them.

If you don't already own one, get yourself a microscope!! Confirmed that what I'm dealing with is large cell amphidinium.

Decided that before I installed a larger tank in the bedroom, I really wanted to get rid of the carpet. Started trying to figure that into the budget and realized it was going to set me back quite a bit.

Then started thinking. Only a few months before we decided to buy the new house, we had installed new pergo flooring in the old house.

(The old house is my great grandfather's house that I had inherited)

Currently the living room of the old house is being used as a home gym so the floor is covered with rubber mats anyway.

Now we are pulling up the planks of click together laminate from the old house to use to replace the carpet in our master bedroom.

I think it's going to look really good with the new furniture also.

This this right here. Good idea, great job, this kind of thinking will help you immensely. Awesome read, following.

And I'm totally geeking out about it, but someone designed an amazing sticker for me!! I can't wait to get some made up to trade!

 

[SaltwaterandLime]

Still have a few spots of dinos on the sand in some of the lower flow areas, but mostly gone after a few days of UV. Also, my torch is splitting! Yay!
