Got a few more corals from Blue Line Coral auctions. picked up an old RODI I am turning into reactors. got two used BRS 1.1 ml doser pumps. And I came across a dragon wrasse that needed a good home...
re-upped my Phyto water, cleaned out my saltwater bucket and started a new batch.
sucked-out a bunch of detritus from the corners of the DT.

- So Cal., Near the water!
Looks like a frag tank, you do have sand for it right as it's a sand sleeper. It's gonna tip over your frags NON stop and toss your sand everywhere. Had one for about 6 months, he got exiled back to the LFS. Got tired of the cloudy water from its sillyness. But they are a COOL looking fish when transitioned.

he is in a 15 gallon tank attached to my 120. It was originally going to be an exile tank for the misbehaving fish but it turned into an 'off the Timmy menu tank' when I got an Emperor Angelfish rehomed to me. He grunts like Tim Allen.
Eventually the frags will go into a proper frag tank and he'll have the 15 mostly to himself for awhile before I trade him in. I have smaller fish in my 120 - which is bare bottom so not really a good fit for him.
I dont believe they are bite marks... when large leathers split they almost look like they start rotting from ulcers in the middle...

Been MIA doing chores for the Mrs...
Building shed kit...
Back up to 90 ml/hr Kalkwasser. Its so nice having the ATOR auto fill and the Kalk automatically made...
I don't have daily tank chores besides feeding which is nice.
My aqualifter pump broke and the CO2 scrubber got too hard for the skimmer to pull through so I disabled it for now... I need to redo it on the ceiling of the cabinet so the hoses stay empty of water.

I built a 10x10 gambrel style shed with a loft just before covid, I can't believe the cost of wood now!

I know! I was amazed this kit cost as little as it did. Usually I design/build like my kids climbing structure; but this one my wife just got it and told me I'm building it...
