The 90g, which has an experimental Cyanobacteria filtration thread on the side, a 12g nano (cycling and awaiting my thread to start when i stop getting interrupted by life haha) and I am about to also start a frag system build/thread soon as well. I post a lot of threads so I get lost in my current ideas a lot. I also have a turtle tank and exercise pond for him along with a freshwater all in one angelfish setup.
I had more before I moved, just haven't got around to making accommodations for my goals. Most of my income is from this hobby so I get caught up in changing my stuff around so much, equipment, rocks, and corals...lol, i wouldn't have time for guitar if I documented all of it. I wish I had that much time, soon I'll have it all leveled out and can spend more time watching and documenting. This is the most fun I've had with any hobby that is not music.

Yes I know life and work really interferes with our Hobbies
... so you say you make most of your income from the hobby ... so are you a reseller or a pet store owner ... or just a hobbyist who frags and sells etc ... And what to you mean by Cyanobacteria filtration on the side .. not sure I understand ...
True the more threads one creates the more difficult is usually becomes to keep up with all of them ... my problem is that I am on too many forums, and FB groups, and of course write articles for Magazines (mainly UK) and the Book and the Newsletter that comes out every two weeks or so ... and email from hobbyista about the book and its content etc ... etc ... so it seems like I spend the whole day on the laptop ....
I always start early in the AM like 5:30 or so ... but sign off around 7 or 7:30 most evenings except on the days where I am the guest on the Blogtalk Radio Under the Sea Radio Show every Sunday at 10:00 EST ...
I mainly frag corals or sell equipment I get traded for corals, all from home to save on bills and what not. I do a lot of custom sumps too. People set up tanks and don't know what a sump is until they have a 6 month tank...which is a pain to add a sump to. I design slim sumps or double sumps that you can slide into the stand but still have good filtration.
Its a fluctuating income but I make up for that with musical equipment, which is never out of season.

Here's by cyano thread, easier than explaining it lol. https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/re...445-my-self-induced-cyanobacterial-bloom.html
Now back to more nanos haha.

Yes I see that it now and the best source is probably the sumps ... if I had the space and time I would build some advanced once too .. with the fuge built or or separate ... and thanks for the link to the cyano thread ... I'll check it out ...
Nice!
Looking good D.Don't have a recent FTS shot but its a 1/3 of the tank.
It is a Blasto Merriletti

In fact on that Fighting Conch ... I think it was this one :
My favorite shelled creature of the reef! Ours is always bonking the glass at full speed on his hunt for whatever he smells. He eats just about anything the starfish don't get to first. In the day all we see are eyeballs sticking out of the sand. Haha.
They are great indeed and interesting and that picture taken by Neuwave of his Conch is a real special one because of how the eyes etc ... are all visible and how they are positioned ... And yes they can be real fast indeed ... faster than one would think they can move ... but that applies to other snails too ... I have some Long Island Mud snails in a 10 G Nano, and they are real small, maybe 1/4 inch but they can move like a Formula 1 car and swirl their shell around and back and forth at an alarming speed ... Great cleaners and they too bury themselves in the substrate most of the day and come out when there is food to be had, or during the night ... They were sent to me by that friend of mine who has that reef tank he has had for 43 years or nearly so ...
