Prime HD+ came in, gotta love Amazon's same day delivery. Rocks, RO/DI filter, and mounting arm for the prime will be in on Tuesday. Can't wait!

Sweet!

Still waiting for the FedEx/UPS deliveries, but in the meantime I have been designing a holder to 3D print for the test tubes and vials so they aren't just rolling around the stand.

Cool design, waiting for deliveries is the worst, every hour that passes where package doesn't arrive feels like an eternity.

Rock and light mount are in!

Scape looks great!

Finally got water in it today. Does anyone else get a lot of vibration from the return pump on the IM tanks?

I'm not even messing with the stock pump on my 30L. Starting with a Sicce. Love the clean look of the IM tanks. Looking forward to following your build.

Picked up a pair of snowflake clowns and a long tentacle anemone. Pictures of the anemone to come.

Anemone

The anemone likes to attach during the day and then float around at night. Any tips to keep it attached?

They usually move around until they're happy. In my experience you should stop fiddling with the lights or flow if you are. The anemone will find a spot that makes it happy and stick around until you think it will never move, and then it will walk all over your expensive corals.

Mine will stay in one place for a couple days then move. When I first got it, it stayed in one spot for about a month then just up and decided he wants to tour the tank. It also split last week. Pretty cool.

I dont think its up to you to get it to stay in one spot hopefully one day it will calm down and stay in one spot that you are ok with.

Great looking clowns and nem.
