Don’t have any tests for those yet. My lfs tested and said all is still good the other day. I’m ordering the Red Sea test prob tomorrow or something.
Also I’m waiting for a call about a job at my lfs!

The test kit costs are less than some frags, "Make it so!" or I will hop across the pond, drink beers with your dad and interrogate you about the tank!

Did that sound like a threat, not very good at threats?!

Ok so as of today the tank has been up for 1 month. I must say. The water is crystal clear and absolutely beautiful. And all I run is a single filter sock.
It about 2 weeks I’ve already had 2 polyps grow on my bam bam zoas and the frogs spawns have healed a little. Still haven’t fully adjusted and the smaller one hasn’t opened much.
As for the clown. They are pairing and I’m thinking they might eventually lay eggs. They live their food
Snails and hermits are doing great
Algae isn’t much to say. Looks like I have a slight bit of Cyano starting to take hold. Ordering a turkey baster too
Ok here’s what I know you guys really want. PICTURES!


Also if anyone has any tips for better pictures im open to advice!

Been cleaning my closet all day in order to make my tank area cleaner by moving extra equipment and stuff into the closet! I’m thinking about finishing the stand soon but I would rather do the sump first because honestly the open industrial stand is kinda cool. Makes me more inclined to clean it and make it purty

Wow! The water is crystal clear! I've been looking at a control panel for all my gear. It's funny how much we accumulate... and then keep accumulating. ;Hilarious

Yeah all my reefing friends know me for having the clearest water! Wanna know my secret?
absolutely nothing. Inconsistent water changes. No testing yet etc. I think it’s because I’m running natural sea water

I’m noticing all kinds of pods on the glass! Even with dry rock. Wonder if they came on the coralline or the corals or inverts
