I didn’t! Excitedly awaiting their arrival... I have managed to grow my collection by quite a few frags though, with more on the way in the next couple of weeks! I just spent a while scrolling through this thread, your tank looks great by the way

No prob! They’re a discontinued WWC strain by the way, hang onto them!

hahaha... now that you told me that, I'll accidentally kill them.
the stargazers you liked.... right after I posted that pic a snail wandered through them.
they are very unhappy.

You’re awesome!!! I should be getting some cinnamon palys soon, I actually haven’t heard from the white grandis guy in a while, I need to check up on their progress! You’re right about the stargazers, they’re a beautiful zoa and I love the way (healthy) white looks under all the blue lighting. Unfortunately, there’s only like one guy in my area with them and he charges for them at the outrageous price of $60 per polyp.

You’ve got so many of my dream fish! I wish I could stick my 3 nanos together to make a 100 gallon tank so I could have some of the larger fish (the algae eaters would be especially helpful). I wanna boop that cute little foxface right on his nose!

he's not so little any more. him and my now rehomed lamark angel grew up fast.

if the stargazers get happy again and start spreading out, I'll clip you a few. $60 per is absurd.

I fill several 3 gallon jugs, which I put inside a 5 gallon bucket while I'm running the unit. That bucket has saved me many times (because I forgot to set the duck alarm)....but when the bucket overflows, that's a whole different problem! I hate wasting RO/DI water....
