New corals from @robanister looking good. Settling in nicely. 4 Acros (3 full frags and a little cookie)and what believe to be a leptastrea.

This last piece is a little branch tip I knocked off my Cosmic Bubblegum when cleaning. It’s doing well after getting glued a free plug

I counted my gonis

New project coming. Gonna try to do nano again. Not sure when, but fairly soon. Reconvert the 16 gallon Biocube back to salt. Use the Noopsyche K7 Mini light I won and I have plenty of live rock that I can spare some from the rear chamber of the 90. I’ve got a spare Sicce 270 gph wave pump and I’ll look to find another inexpensive pump as I’ll be using a Fluval HOB filter for mechanical and if need be chemical filtration which won’t push very much water. Basic set up with maybe some neon gobies and I haven’t decided whether to go softies in the for of zoas mainly or put some lps in.

Good let me know how you like it and how orange it really is ….cuz I be wondering

So a couple days ago I decided to add more flow to the tank. Took the canister filter offline and used a Mighty Jet pump in its place. The canister was barely pushing any water flow anyways. I’ve been working on finding a good flow pattern with stronger pump and I’m finally about there I think.

Since I have 21 corals of various types and sizes coming in next week I’ve started to think placement. Here’s what it’s layout is at the moment roughly

Took a bunch of pics as usual today.

Wednesday is the day! 26 corals incoming. Did some general housekeeping. Moved a few corals and put more rack space in.

Frag racks are key

I’m just like Spock in the movie Wrath of Khan when Saavik says “you lied”. No i didn’t- I exaggerated in the opposite direction.

I finally confessed the cost of my Goni garden to my BF….. the look on his face!!!

My spreadsheet for my corals does in fact include original cost of each coral - along with the vendor picture. It is in need of a small update.
One sheet contains all corals with columns for vendor, name, type (acan, Goni, ect), cost. I have a running total for each vendor, and each type off to the side. I also have separate sheets for each type. Oh and a column for if it’s alive or dead….thankfully the “dead” are a small percentage of the living

That's really cool that you keep track of that. I might try to do something like that tonight.

What I've really been meaning to do is get a plastic ruler and take some reference photos so I can compare growth over time. It never looks like anything is growing until I look at old pics and realize it is.
