I feel super inspired by your plumbing, layout and overall design. This was a fun one to read. Keep up the great work.

Thanks! Stay tuned, this is just the beginning of fun! Can’t wait till the acros really take off!

Update: pharaoh has slowed his breathing to a more normal rate. Still looks battered and bruised. Feeling bad for him right now.

Any update on how he is doing?

Yeah he is still in quarantine. Eating well but left eye seems to have some trauma. Lower body is looking better as well as the bruising though

. Can’t get a good pic because I need to get a different glass scrubber for my quarantine yank since I did put some medication in there to help.

Well I’m dealing with a bacterial issue on the fish. They have all been moved to quarantine and are getting medicated. This is really frustrating to me since I have quarantined all fish that have entered the tank for 30 days minimum. This is the best picture of the purple tang that shows what is going on. It took me all day to get them caught and moved over. I am treating with BiFuran and I’m going to let the tank sit for 90 days with just CuC and coral.

That said I only broke one piece of coral when I was catching fish so that is kinda a relief. Here is the most recent top down update.

My large PC rainbow colony is starting to really color up on the base. Can’t wait till the green takes over! This pic shows what I’m talking about.

And another shot of the only euphyllia that will get to call this lagoon home.

4th harvest of Red OgO from the fuge. This macro is growing like a weed!

 

[Jgerm]

New mini colonies on the way. Gonzo blueberry diesel and space invaders

 

[Jgerm]

This space invader pectinia is amazing! Photos do not do it justice at all!!!

 

[Jgerm]

This is a little bit better but still can’t capture the beauty of this coral without a proper camera.

Nice progression my man. Loving that red ogo. Tangs eating it up? How often do you feed it To them?

 

[Jgerm]

Thanks! They get some each time I harvest. They love it. I could attach a piece in the display first thing in the morning and they will have eaten all the tips by evening. I would then just move it back to the fuge and let it regrow. Unfortunately since they are all in medicated quarantine I can’t reuse it so I have been giving them smaller amounts of the OgO and supplementing with nori sheets.

 

[Jgerm]

Well I got a happy email this morning! My clear view lid will be delivered before new year’s!

 

[Jgerm]

My PC rainbow colony is really starting to color up beautifully!

 

[Jgerm]

Can’t wait till this mystic sunset Monti has covered the island it is on!
Here are a few more macro pics with the phone....

 

[Jgerm]

After 87 days my clear view lid showed up exactly how I ordered. Extremely happy with the final product! I will say with the 3 sides of feeding doors i believe it will impact my par #s a bit. It should not be much but to be safe I will measure again here next week.

 

[Jgerm]

Got some diatoms blooming but everything in the tank is doing great!

 

[lafarrow]

I just ordered the lid. I should’ve told them to give you a commission. Looks like a good option for that size tank. Why 3 feed lids? Options or other reason?

A preference of me. The front door will be used as the main feed door. The two on the sides will be utilized as dosing doors since I have daily supplements I put into the water volume from my moonshiners method. The side doors are directly above the Gyer pumps.
