New "mediocreef" begins at the top of page 23 or with this post.

I will try to keep this updated with links to the latest data.

Latest full tank shot is here.
Where I try to understand 3d printing starts here.
Newest additions here.
Latest test results
Fresh water shots.
Stock list.
I have a baby!
nonsense throughout pages 25 onward.


Begin old news:
Here is what I have for my first reef tank. it's been up since fall 2021ish.
- 40b tank
- 40ish pounds of crushes coral and live cultured sand
- 60ish pounds of dry rock
- fluval 207 filter
- coralife seascape light
- jbj wavemaker 500gph powerheads (will be bigger when the time comes)
- seeded with pods and starter bac.

current stocking:
- firefish
- green spot dragonet
- dwarf hawk fish
- springer damsel
- cuc: brittle stars, conch, various snails, cleaner shrimp, tuxedo urchin, maybe a peppermint shrimp and hermit crabs, at least one emerald crab.

I'm working on stocking with corals and fish, but i have a 15 starting as well and this whole thing is a lot on the budget.
How is the dragonet? I've heard they only survive in established tanks, so we're waiting awhile as we are at the beginning of our journey lol

Fine, buoyancy. Then what's boyancy? Cuz the phone takes it as proper.
It's when the boy gets kinda antsy and can't sit still?

My phone doesn't take it as proper though?

Welcome! Dragonet was doing great for a while. Haven't seen him recently, but fear the worst. Life got chaotic and tank fell by the wayside. New additions are on pause for a beat, but I may add a new one or two down the road.

I didn't get the same treatment. Maybe my spell check has given up on me.
Anyone???
I gotta pay closer attention...

Now to justify it, what with the potential move in the future and the broke from just having a kid and all.
It's a perfect light for your Pico you were working on...?
