I wish mine would get fuller instead of taller.
I trimmed the skeleton back an inch or so when I moved him. He’s still mad at me so Im wondering if it was the trim or the possible heads getting knocked off the did it...

I wondered if it was almost like pruning a plant. Same type of response.

Well I threw conventional wisdom out the window as usual and added a few SPS frags. These pieces were struggling mightily in the 40B and likely would have been gone sooner rather than later had I not gotten them out of there.

A couple of Stylo’s known for being hardy as well as a PC Rainbow and a tiny bit of a Milli that was hanging on for dear life are the tester pieces. We’ll see what they do here over the next couple weeks if they make it through a night.

As usual pics will be decent viewed on a phone/tablet and terrible on a PC.

Story of my life...

Oh, careful with the larger IM tanks. Amoo had/is having a heck of a time with his. I havent peeked yet but last check he was still MIA with his 3rd tank just delivered.

Hadnt read of Amoo’s issues. Will take a look for that. No IM tank for me but I do love those dimensions!

Sorry you missed out on the brain. I had the same experience recently trying to get a trachy.
In my very best David Attenborough voice.... The ever elusive Trachyphyllia Geoffroyi would have made a nice home for the gobi surprise we have coming tomorrow for the Biocube.

Yes, we kept the Biocube after heatergate which is now home to our Naked/Midnight clown pair and their Nem. Theyll have roomates tomorrow :)

Heatergate... love it.

I need to look into a replacement for my Neotherm. It's approaching 2 years old, and since I had a brand new one stuck at 94°F on the dial and seem to never turn off even after the water is well above 94... peace of mind, ya know. Going to go with a titanium heater with an external controller. Not sure on brands yet.

Ive had good luck with the Finnex 300w. Can be paired with their controller or Inkbird, Ranco etc. Comes with a plastic guard that I remove as it collects detritus.

I knew she'd insist!
Yeah, she was bummed out losing her favorite clowns but didn’t like the idea of No tank in the bedroom. She gets the blind Naked and slightly challenged Midnight instead.

Blind, naked, and slightly challenged. I think that would be my match.com title. (I've honestly never even looked at a dating site. Do they have titles?)
LOL, I think I saw that profile!

No clue on titles.
