I get that a lot. Wife says I don't make sense to others.

But it makes sense in my head.

I'll try to be better for you buddy

How's that tank set up going

I'm awake , ribs going on no fancy pants business just going hot and fat for dinner time.

Red coris is much much bigger than the new little yellow wrasse. Not too much aggression. Only a little bit of quick movement after. No pursued chase or nip.

Apparently previous owner had for a year. Think just a much smaller tank. 29 gal.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Complete!

Nano just overflowed eek. Luckily a bin caught about 7 gallons.

Rest on floor. Cleaned everything off at least.

Lil too aggressive on the tune of the gate.

Rather limp the new leather is.

Cable management project at a cross roads:

Controller and updating the light bars requires ordering the controller and new PCB's that work with the controller.

Pros: Dimmable
Cleans up amount of cables needed and power bricks
I think I could sell the current strips and power supplies to someone who wants to retro fit them.

Cons:
$750 price tag
I already have a DIY way to schedule the lights

What would you guys do? I have a feeling ya'll would say save the budget for something else... thinking on it.

If it stays limp, make sure it isn't getting blasted with flow in one direction.

5 of these. I think I have a plan. They basically made a much bigger power block power the bars, and then got a WiFi controller.
