My used DP-4 was going strong till I sprayed water all over it.

I used to use jebao - but they stopped being compatible with my phone. It was really weird. I got a 4 head redsea on a great deal & had a few kamoer floating around to fill the other things I needed. In fact.... I haven't unpacked any of that yet

Average Maybe
yeah, my jabao lost my trust pretty quick. It was a pain to set up (and I may have done something wrong that caused the failure).
Kamoar though was much easier to set up. I have the single head dosers cuz I could have gotten 5 for $20 more than the 4-head unit (from brs, black friday). They can daisy chain up to eight heads, so one plug (huge plus in my book) and the app works well.

So I have like 5 build threads but I never seem to update them. 99% of my presence here is hanging out in others threads.
But. Here's an update. I mentioned my plan to take a little vacay to Vegas and get officially hitched to my hubs. But with leaving for a week(or more) comes tank prepping.
I need to automate 4 tanks, and prep to take one with me.
- 4 tanks need ATO's
- 4 tanks need automated feeding.
- 1 tank needs daily dosing
- need to switch some fish around, I've put my valentini puffer with my eel, but I worry that with a week away the eel will try to eat the puffer, so I'm going to separate them while I'm gone.
- need to order feeder shrimp for the eel, since it's not on pellets or something I can easily automate.
- locate a suitable container for a mobile dwarf pony tank, I need to take them with me as their feeding needs are too frequent to leave as is for a week. We'll be traveling in an RV, so this makes that idea possible.
I'm sure other things will happen also, but these are the most pressing issues.
I've already ordered a kamoer dosing pump, and have 2 different ATOs, one was wonky though so I'll likely not use it.
Busy busy.

Did glass cleaning, removed dead frags, glued down 3 goni/alevs?, added all loose zoas to their own rock, fragged digi.
FTS
Angry still.
This is the tomini's pooping corner, I figured the zoas would do best here. Also the hawkfish's favorite perching spot.
My fragged victim. If the piece I took lives I'll chop it more, I really didn't intend it to be here, but it over grew. But I can constantly frag it and if learn to ship, I can share with the cronies.

Local place or shipped? Alyssa's had some nerites like that and I wondered if they were as good as the black and white striped ones...

Local! I love my lfs for livestock, I've been really lucky and fortunate that everything had been healthy. It's not amazing for corals though so I do ship for those. Although I have scored a few gems, like my elegance coral.

Who dis? I got it in rough shape a while back in a large mystery box from a friend. I have no idea what it is. But it's hung on and looking like it's grown from basically a mushy single bubble to this and it's got a good looking mouth there too.
I initially thought euphillia of some sort based on it's skeleton structure, but now that it's got more fleshy bits I'm not sure.

Check out this thread. Maybe between the two of you, you'll come up with an answerWho dis? I got it in rough shape a while back in a large mystery box from a friend. I have no idea what it is.

Couple of unidentified life forms
Hi! So my tank has entered the ugly stage and as I impatiently wait for the right time to add intentional inhabitants, I like to spend time (along with my kids) exploring the expanding ecosystem with a magnifying glass to see what might have found its way in there. We seeded the tank with some...

Possibly a bubble coral?

looks like Queen of Reefs bubble coral... albeit a lot smaller
