Good Morning!

We are pretty happy at home.

Ok but with two new systems there has to be a decent sized LFS within 4 hours of you?
 
Thanks @siggy ! They're not a bonded pair, but they seem to be getting along pretty well so far. They were in separate tanks at the store which made me a bit nervous. Kinda took a big chance, but I really wanted both of em :) The smaller one is a storm and the other is a fancy snowflake. If they start fighting I'll have to move one of em to the 2nd QT I have in the basement until I can sort it out. The six line wrasse is doing good as well, just really shy.

Both of the clowns have nice markings - cheering for them!!!

*fingers crossed*

I think there is one at Columbus. That would be a 7 hour round trip. I have heard it is nice but I heard that about the one I go to in Ashland, Ky that's 50 minutes away. They sell xenia for 70 dollars a stalk.
Tiny pieces of soft corals are $200.
I still have issues. Long car trips are not my thing anymore.
I am about to start the process to maybe deal with that. I have a lot of willpower and have pushed through it but an reaching the point where I just sit down to many days. I still get stuff done but not enough.
I wont know until I try. The problem with here is you don't get the best doctors in the world.

Besides my cat needs me.
 
its not really morning anymore...but i got a late start on account of the whole "today is monday" problem.

that said: Good morning everyone!

This weekend my Apex Jr. finally showed up and i got that all installed! It has a temp sensor and a PM1/PH sensor. And it is currently controlling my Gyre, Skimmer, Heater and Return pump. Hopefully soon i can save up for an EB8 so that i can plug the rest of my equipment into the apex. (dont worry - my lights are controlled by a standalone system that i custom build/programmed - so i didnt want to use up a plug on the apex jr for it.)

also, i finally got around to putting together a decent RODI/saltwater mixing station in the basement! I got some cinder blocks to use as a stand to get my 20 gallon brute can elevated, and i got the necessary plumbing parts to put a valve and a spout on the bottom of the can. so now i can premix up to 20 gallons of saltwater, keep it heated and circulated in the brute can, and then just fill up 5-gallon buckets to my heart's desire using the power of gravity!

I hope yall had a good/productive weekend as well.

That was taken an hour ago lol

So this probably wouldn’t be a good time to mention that it was 75F when I left the house at 6:30 this morning and had to turn down the AC for the drive. :oops:
