Just wanted to get out a couple baseline pics of this acro. I hope it enjoys my system parameters.

Tried to get a picture of my damselfish. Serious pain to get him to stay still. Please ignore bubble algae

. I'm saving it for something special

Anyways I will introduce my yellow tail damselfish. I completed TTM and 3 weeks in observation in may/june.
He has been a shockingly efficient pod destroyer.

Got home early today. Snuck in to check on the tank and found skimmer overflowing. Panic set in as I was trying to figure out why my rock solid skimmer is suddenly overflowing. Just finished completely opening skimmer outlet when I realized the sump was quite full of water.. Yup, ro reservoir completely dumped into system.
Anyone using a better float valve for their redsea sump?

I got rid of my Red Sea ATO and went with the AutoAqua smart ATO. I had went through 3 of their float valves with multiple issues. Not to mention the reservoir would condisate too often because the temp in the reservoir was lower than the sump temp.

I tore the float valve apart cleaned and rebuilt it. So far it is working as it should but I am looking to do something different.

Well the Peninsula is hitting the year mark this upcoming week.

Also giving recognition for two snails that have been in 3 different reef tanks with me totalling 5 years so far. (These are not my oldest snail)

My ORA filefish. I really enjoy watching this fish. Just floats along the currents in a very care free manner. I got the filefish hoping it would have a taste for aiptasia but that has been a total failure. It does eat almost anything I put in the aquarium though and hunts pods constantly. Curious to see what this fish will be like long term.

Just a quick update.
First up, I made the switch from mp40's to tunze 6105's.

next update, my ORA filefish has been a complete failure. Has more interest in eating coral than aiptasia. The only lps he hasn't taken chuncks out of are ONE of my 6 acan colonies my duncans and hammer. So far those 3 are the only untouched pieces. Conclusion I may have to get rid of this guy.

Finally, the magnificent foxface I got from diversden is doing good. Had a few concerns. I realized he is missing an entire pectoral fin and somehow he hasn't grasped the idea that the coral banded shrimp gets moody if his area is occupied.
