Kevin said many more already on the way and they should be available online in a short matter of time.

Excellent. Sadly my local store runs a demonstration of fish diseases. I can always spot a few dead fish, a few soon to be dead, and plenty just covered in ick. I'd rather not support them. I'll wait for BRS or PremiumAquatics.

I removed my VCA nozzle, it felt too obtrusive on the little Reefer 170. It looks much better with the normal return nozzle. Side-affect, the lack of shading burnt the bird's nest, but he's mostly recovered now.

Thank you @GoVols, this hobby wouldn't be anywhere near as enjoyable if I couldn't share the play-by-play with you.

This is what it looked like in July! In 6-7 months, it's so much better.

There is room for it to grow, but it mostly covers all areas that get light. The area under the overhang (all shade) has almost none. I bought a cheap lepto, hoping he can grow a bit better in the shade??
