Cleaned and vacuumed the sand in my refugium today. Emptied my skimmer and replaced my filter floss roll.

Now you gotta get a couple of clownfish, really cool to see them interact.

I have a pair in the 120 that've seen over 90hours of hosting videos but never hosted (besides the corner) . maybe new clowns for the nem tank?

I had a less than 1" pair in my 120 for about 1.5 years. They were moved to my 30g remote and I added a nem. Took about 2 days and they have never left. They have laid eggs 5 times now.
The right nem helps as mine were tank raised clowns.

In my case, I’ve had success forcing the hosting relationship with tank raised clowns by using my acclimation box and all but pushing the clownfish into a good sized nem.

That is a great idea! I have a pretty big dragon wrasse living in that tank and I'm not sure there'll be enough room - I don't want to start any aggression. technically I should put the big wrasse in the big tank but I'm not sure I'm ready for their shenanigans.

Took my daughter fishing the other day. She got a nice crappy and I netted some top-minnows & a couple of turtles for the backyard tub. They're really cool looking; one has red details and the other yellow.

I know how lonely it can be up North and the endless days just run into each other so I included a little DIY kit for you! :D
