Updates + Highlights:

Momma Percula has been super aggressive. She does not like to share w/ the new guests

CBB is a curious fellow. Also maybe even more aggressive eater than my last CBB

Favorite Picture all time of Mariano the Mandarin. Been with me for 1.5 years now and still dancing w/ Dolores every night.

Hi, where did you get the wild onyx pair from? Thanks!

 

[Salty_Taste]

Momma Percula has been gaining black over the years... Letting go of this pair might be a mistake :/

Fiji Yellow Leather (Sarcophyton Elegans)

This one is special and deserves its own post. There are a lot of "Fiji Yellows" coming out but if it aint like this, it aint it. I can guarantee this one is the real deal. Proud to have such a gem in the collection.

Great photos of a great tank. Keep up the good work!

ORA Neon Goby Update:

Blue Cleaner Goby got moved to the 180g downstairs since it was beating up the Yellow Cleaner Goby. I always wanted both cleaner gobies in the same tank but fighting will not be tolerated. Grabbed some quick shots on my phone before it got the boot.

 

[DIYreefer]

It sucks that they couldn't play nice together. It definitely would have been cool to have both in the same tank.

QT Success! Super Black True Percula's going into Display!

Definitely going to miss my current Spawning pair, but I know they will be in good hands.

Mangroves Growing! Time to Trim

LPS Corner: Button Scoly + Acans + Blastomussa

Despite all the roadblocks that I document on this build thread, the tank is truly thriving. I hope you enjoy

How do you have the mangroves secured?

Tonga Branch Hoarder?

This batch is super rare just because it’s smaller and thinner. Perfect for my lagoon!

 

[Salty_Taste]

How do you have the mangroves secured?

They aren’t secured, I just have them hanging in the back chambers!

Sad Update: Freak Accident

What a sad way to lose this specimen… Came home after a late night out around 3am, when I turned on the lights in my room, must have startled the white tail causing it to smash into the glass twice then swam directly into the mp10 at 70% which shredded it..
