Hey all to mark the occasion of 5000 views everyone who drops a comment today and Friday midnight will go into a random draw for a ty prize. Thanks to all for being part of my adventure
 
Your adventure is a good story, show persistence pays off, there will be hiccups, and new people can learn from it. I could fill way to many pages with my mishaps, if I started at the very beginning lol.

But we cannot forget..... CONGRATS ON 5K VIEWS!!!!
 
bummer about the sea hare! perhaps he ate all of the algae?

What are you using to take pictures? You can create a photo album many places, I like www.imgur.com free and easy to use. I keep my photos there and backed up locally on my PC.

OK all caught up ;)

Couple things I want to let you know about. GSP can be VERY invasive. Like, take over all you rocks, covering as it goes. Be careful with it. I have mine on rock islands on the sand that I can take out and snip with scissors around the edge to trim it back.

And Chromis will kill each other until there is one 1. Kinda like Highlander ;)

I have the dragons breath gsp right side on a small rock piece the left can run wild for now and will trim in place.
On the chromis ive read without a predator can be tough to keep a group but with small multiple targeted feedings some report success. Will see how that theory plays out over time :)
Ps @Fudsey impressive power read! Alerts were pinging like a pinball machine lol

@Fudsey You sir have inspired me! The Chromis had not been named till the Highlander reference Kurgan, Ramirez, and McCloud May they swim thru the centuries together

Hey hey hey saw some new growth today. Near my right gsp are some Zoas I thought we’re long gone coming back to life. Lot more little suckers than I put in unfortunately not anything to fancy but gsp will probably roll right over them if I don’t trim the weeds.Yellow Acro is continuing to color up nicely will get pics tomorrow when lights are not winding down.
Equipment wise Past week installed grounding probe and will figure out mounting for my dual reactors this weekend.
My channel 2 blues on one of my fixtures acted up (posted earlier) but after shutting moonlights off for a couple hours and turning them back on they are back to normal. Dsuny did get back to for pics to diagnose have asked for preventative measures and what too check since it rectified itself.
Stay salty all
