    I have been very lucky with this fish. He is not touch the single coral and loves to eat mysis and hunt for pods in the tank. He also loves to eat aiptasia anemones so I don't have a single one in this new tank.

    That's awesome about the controller. I can't wait to be able to upgrade and get some flow control without having to move the PHs all over the place. haha!

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Is that the same zoanthid rock from the previous tank? Did you have to do any plumbing other than add the PVC?

    All of the Rock is the same rock for my other tank. However I have turned it around so you were looking at the backside of each of the two top rocks from where they were in my old tank originally. What you see under the tank is all but I had to add.

    I'm really loving this tank. Awesome job with the scape and I like the bare bottom.

    RE purposed my old water container. It used to sit on the floor and used an aqua lifter to pump into the old sump. I was tired of having to pump water out plus it needed a good cleaning.

    used wood I had and re-purposed parts. Had to buy two fittings. Cost me $1.50

    So, Slight update here...

    1. I added a piece of 4" pvc as a filter sock holder and i am going to try doing filter socks in the tank for a bit. I have NEVEr used then because I have been afraid of the maintenance, but we will be givin them a shot. I ordered a 5 pack and I am hoping I can get 5-7 days out of each. we shall see.

    also, did a mind map of my RKE system. Pretty cool.

    Night time photos are SUPER hard to take. So are some with just the middle blues on but I just had to try. the tank just looked so awesome the other night, so I had to try...Unfortunately all I had was my 70-300 lens so I put it in macro mode so I could get close the results are well.. OK.
