Side A for me but I’ve always been partial to arches and open holes for fish to swim through. Whole thing looks good though!
Thanks! I do love the dramatic arch.

Very lucky last night
Some minor gutter damage and lost a section of deck railing but no serious house damage and most important for my tanks, no power loss.

So two of the fish are being sent to me tonight. However, the two going in this tank did not pass a health check, so they are on hold. The red coris wrasse and flame angel for the predator tank should be coming tomorrow though.

He sends two of the sensitive shippers sometimes. Were they shipped with sand in the bag?
Nope…
None are looking great right now

Actually the angel has perked up and is looking good. Both coris are laying. One on its side breathing heavy. Hopeful the other one is good

Timeline for today:
0130 Finally fall asleep because I’m an insomniac
0400-pick up parents and drive them to airport
0630-get home and try to sleep
0700 call from UPS saying my package was ready for pick up but at wrong hub
0700 feed pets and rush to UPS facility
0930 get home and acclimate fish
1000 work on tree
1030 sister and brother in law come by with chainsaws and spend the next 4 hours lugging wood around. Got stung as always and my hands are cut up but got 1/3 of the tree down to the curb/cut into firewood.
1430 I am dead tired

Look at the humidity!

Let me know whatcha think. Its on my list after fish stock is done.
Works a lot better! While my flipper took like 10 go overs to get the green coralline off this one is doing it in 1-3. And it moves much easier.

Thanks, very interested now. I hate my flipper and want to chuck it. The blades don't last long, it moves in jerk like motion. Does not glide across the glass.

And green algae is the worst enemy of glass cleaning. It just doesn't come off without me going in to remove it.

flipper gets 1/5 stars

That’s the rating I just left for it on BRS :face-with-tears-of-joy:
I’ll wait a while to rate this new one but for the moment it’s at least a 4 but probably a 5/5
