Ok, so I nabbed the plastic box and drilled holes. I'm going to set it on the sandbed rather than hanging with magnets. Acclimating the single damsel for reintroduction to the other two. It was previously too nippy and aggressive, but paired with isolation and the other two doing really well in the big tank, I think they have a better chance at living together.
Or I'm making a mistake. We'll see. Onward!

lol... LINKS! put them in your signature!I sold a few towels on Etsy over the weekend, so I'm sitting here waiting on my press to heat to warm up thinking, "what a perfect time for a shameless I-sell-things plug"
If you don't know, I dabble in making hand towels. Not the towels themselves, of course I buy those, but I create and press designs or sayings. Kind of a hobby trying to jump to small business. This originally started when I made my secret Santa on here something, it went over well and got a few requests, then I launched the Etsy page and .......
Currently I'm not promoting much until I get a larger selection of available designs. If anyone has any ideas, or requests I certainly welcome those, plus I have a few designs ready. Currently selling for $10 each and I'll ship for free to r2r peeps. On Etsy I sell 10 plus shipping. I know not much of a deal, but we can work something out if there's a larger order than just a few. Just throwing it out there.

Pretty in love with the new lights. The corals look so purty. I did have 2rfas walk around to the back side of the rocks so I can't see them well but there happy back there. I guess good excuse to buy some more. Muahahaha
I let out my prisoner damsel yesterday. So far no chasing. He hid all yesterday, but I've seen all 3 in a group already this morning so good news so far.

my new lights are on the top of the list of the things I cant wait to use in the new tank. Both the stock lights for biocube and the evo are extremely white heavy.

Yep, that's honestly why I ended up going Innovative Marine. I just knew I would want to tear those lights out.

Not really. Out of all 18 or so, only 4 have moved. And the 2 that moved a while ago did not move again.So nice

Mine moved for a week or two, found a spot and stayed put. My BTA didn't move for almost a month then went all walk-a-bout.So nice

So, finally ordered my @Aquarocks frag rocks. Got the 5 hole and a 3pk of singles. I figured I'd use the 5 hole for various hammers I have and use the singles for the torch and new ones yet to purchase!
My birthday is next month and I usually order corals, cuz why not.
Also, bought a used apex. Came in a little rusty, but proceeding with it so I know if I even like the darn thing. If I do I'll upgrade with new later.
I'm hoping to have time to install it tomorrow.

Apex classic is what I got too, and an eb8. No probes or modules yet, just wanted to get the basics down first.
Love the lights. I haven't changed them at all yet since I set them up, but I need to. Love the colors they bring out. All the corals seem to like them, all look open and fluffy.
Not sure what corals I might get, probably looking at another torch or two. Definitely moar rock flowers because I'm addicted and I don't think it's a problem, lol.

I love @Aquarocks - thinking about reaching out for a custom free standing fixture in the new tank but struggling to figure out how I want it to look still. I'm not great on that front
