Lights hung. Or I guess light mounts hung as I’m hoping to kill some of the algae on those rocks and use them as bacteria fuel before I actually move the lights over.

Just a Leopard. They roam free down here in Arizona as you get closer to the Mexican border.
If interested in a cougar instead, they famously roam free over here in OC.

Well I was hoping to finish filling it today and then went and stepped on a paper wasp. Poison ivy, wasps, maybe I should find someone else to move my Foxface when the time comes

It’s up and running though only with my backup pump. Also added the rest of the sand as you can see from the cloudiness. Any thoughts on flow. Current plan is one at the bottom of the weir box and two on each side plus the outlets at the top.

Also boy am I glad I’m not a little closer to the center of Atlanta as they have had no water since Friday and probably don’t get it back till tomorrow. I know the aquarium is struggling

First fish and corals are in. A frag of montipora, a couple of mushrooms and my blue flasher. It swam around a bit before hiding. Hope it’s alright. First fish always makes me nervous

I would add another of your wrasses to allow him to be slightly more comfortable.

It's been alone in the sump for a couple of months. I don't know if I can catch any of the other fish without removing most of the rocks.

Two fish and several corals. Luckily the Midas blenny is not very smart and just sat in its rock for me to move over.

Fortunately, that is a plus on some blenny. Their worse enemy is their home when it is time to evict or move them.
That's a nice archway.
