Thank you! I'm not sure if it's the coral food or dosing the red sea AB+ but they are happy. I have a big list but I really want a lawnmower blenny, a yellow eye kole tang, and a pink streaked wrasse.

I like it! Love the kole tangs. Good luck on your hunt!

So I was able to find 2 fish, a lawnmower blenny (which I cant get a picture of since he likes to hide in the corner) and a 6 line wrasse. They are in QT and so far its going great, both eating and copper starts tomorrow.

I also got 2 new corals, Mowhawk zoas and Radioactive Dragon Eye Zoa. Love having @TopShelfAquatics as a LFS!!

Also worked on stand, plasti dipped my magnets and some hooks to hang tubing and my measuring cups. Cut the cutting board down to size, it works great! Makes a really nice area to work on coral and tank.

The stand is looking awesome! Really like the cutting board, work, frag spot. Good luck with your new friends. I know you mentiond the wrasse and a blenny (beautiful wrasse by the way....I’m sure the blenny is equally splendid) but I don’t think you mentiond the black drunken boxer octopuses. Careful....they look aggressive.

Also nice zoas! Sorry don’t want the zoas feeling left out.

Thank you! Those drunken octopuses have been fighting back hard. When I tried screwing them in 3 out 4 ripped the plasti dip right off, hopefully they sober up a little tonight!

Yeah I could tell they looked like trouble.

Did a water change today on both tanks since it was 3 weeks of reef flux treatment. Tank looks amazing, no bryopsis and GHA is basically gone! I was able to get a picture of the Blenny as well.

jk_s124 · May 16, 2020

Looks great! Nice blenny!

Lazydayz · May 21, 2020

Got one panel on but still needs a coat of paint and the corner trim pieces but I'm really liking how it is coming along. Also got to frag for the first time on the work station and it was awesome!!

Wow that turned out great! I already have a stand for my 40 b, but I might make a separate stand for my ato with an ABS top work surface. Love the Nemo toys too!

Thanks! I highly recommend it or a pull out shelf. I'd like to say those are the kids toys but who am I kidding. My favorite Disney movie!

Quick update not much going on with the tank, was working on getting the living room finished so I could get the tank back into place. While running wire in the attic for new lights I felt a sharp pain in my knee (which I tore when i was in high school) thought nothing of it until the next day when I couldn't bend it and it was swollen up the size of a grapefruit. Been back and forth to the doctor and it maybe torn again

So progress is very slow now since I basically hobble around haha. On the positive side though I get to stare at my tank and be at peace while icing my knee

Hopefully I'll finish up the living room this week and be able to finish up the stand in the next 2 weeks.

Sorry to hear about your knee. Hopefully it’s not torn and it gets better on its own. Enjoy the rest and take care.

Thank you! Yes I'm hoping it isn't torn as well the last time the surgery had me on crutches for 3 months and I wasn't allowed to put any pressure on it

How’s the knee holding up?

It was confirmed I tore it again, I go in for surgery on Thursday. Good news is that the doctor said the removal usually heals up in a few weeks.

jk_s124 · Jun 8, 2020

That’s too bad! Was it the meniscus you tore? I wish you a fast recovery.

Lazydayz · Jun 8, 2020

Its been a good and bad week. With the knee surgery coming up I've been trying to get as much done as possible. Got the livingroom finished up, and working on the stand now to hopefully get it done in 2 days.

I think the fish have ich (not sure but I'm not taking chances) so they are back in QT with cooper started yesterday.
So for the good news I won a Hydros WaveEngine from the Coralvue giveaway with Michael Paletta on Friday. I also grabbed a few new pieces including my first SPS in the Topshelf Aquatics live sale yesterday!! I'm super excited and nervous.
