Tidal Gardens had a flash sale today. I took advantage of it. Haven’t bought anything in a very long time.

Haven’t seen his new building but totally agree. It’s only 10 minutes away.

Been dealing with this for the last few weeks. I decided to buy vibrant to try and eradicate it. Seems to be on the bottom glass and all the plastic (ie power heads and overflow) not on the rock. I still believe that this is part of the bacterial bloom during the relocation.

Hair algae? Gotta scrape it off

An urchin would probably mow that down Dan.

I have a long spined. Doesn’t seem to touch it. Probably need a clean up crew from reef cleaners too.

Found a small cluster of palys. Although just babies, they need removed. Not making that mistake again. When trying to get them out, I had to move a rock. A bristle worm got me. Had those little white hairs sticking out of my fingers like what the photos on the internet show. Man its painful. Fingers are swollen and red today. Ouch.

I even have gloves. I just assumed that it was a quick and easy removal, I didnt follow the precautions.
