Is it possible for a fish to look devious?

Feed me Seymour!

Ouch. Those zoas must be toast

Actually no. Didn’t seem to faze them lol

I’ve seen MF melt corals to nothing before. But those look like radioactive dragon eyes... weeds. But beautiful indeed

It’s all relative. On a long enough timeline, anything can take over lol

I think those zoas are pretty tough. Andrew's weren't phased by his frogspawn or bta.

Caught in the act...

Did you have enough toilet paper to clean up after that animal?

Love these two...even if they don’t love each other!

Jeez. Just spent the better part of 6 hours carefully taking apart my hood and putting it back together. The screws holding it together had badly corroded (my fault, should have replaced them a long time ago) and getting them out without destroying the hood was the equivalent of major surgery for yours truly. Got it back together, with new stainless steel screws (with larger heads) and a fresh bulb!

Step 1:

Hardest part done:

Back together! Salvaged most of the screw holes:

What I was working with:

All done!

I have been stressing about this, it had to happen and I didn’t know how it would go. My tank is 10+ years old so I can’t exactly order spare parts!

Looks good. Nothing like a DIY project to feel like a job well done.

HK is cool man. No work for me for 3 months now. Just chillin at home. Corona seems to be dead here. Everyone has been super cautious. How about in your neck of the woods?

Unfortunately my partner and I own a small business, and the government ordered us to shut down. Corona doesn’t seem to be doing much at all in North Carolina, except destroying the economy :/

it’s just been a complete snafu, but we are hopeful that things might turn around soon.
