ALRIGHT. I'm doing the thing. Good Q3 bonus payout, I'm treating myself.

@PNWCustom you guys win The salt creep on the MCT is killing me, going to switch it over once that arrives (no idea timeframe, it's technically a "preorder")

Volume is the same, if it kicks me out of the "contest" oh well.

Nice. Totally love those tanks. they look so smart in the absolute tiniest package.

Side note, I got the cutest lil part in the mail yesterday!!! Even the package was cute. It was hiding in between bills so i didn't see it until this morning, ha. Planning a water change and will get it installed. Thanks!!

I have thought about buying 2x glass 2.5 gallon tanks, drilling one, doing a coast to coast overflow and making a mini setup lol. I have all of the crap lying around to do it.

Do it.. I always wanted a nano. No better person to learn from then a "Reefing Guru"

It may require someone to 3d me some stuff. That has been the hold up. I do not have a printer. We will see though, as I know a few who do and the wife wants a tank for her desk. She was looking at the other tanks, but I think I could do a pretty cool over and under setup that is appealing to the eye. Zoas and stuff on top and macro down below.

Yay I'm glad it showed up. It just pops right into place, super easy. Sorry it took so long!

No problem, I'm slow mover so it wasn't a rush!

Berghia nudis come today for this tank. Just 2 of them to knock out a few aiptasia that hitch-hiked over. Once they're done here I'll try to slip them into the cade and see how long they last before the wrasse/mb find & eat them.

Nothing too exciting since Wednesday. Ordered 2 nudis, got 3. Put them in, so far no movement on the visible aiptasia but lights aren't on yet for the day.

Did a w/c Wednesday and changed the sponge in the sump for the first time since setup. Oops, it was gnarly.

Tanks wet! Corals are angry.

The corals look massive in this pic

Aiptasia all gone! At least, the visible stuff. Trying to keep an eye out for once they start hunting in the open, then I'll know they got it all and pull them out for a fighting chance in the cade.

Sweet, make sure you add them after lights out in the cade so they have a better chance of not being expensive wrasse food.
