Fast forward to October 2014 Heather gave me my Christmas present 75g tank. The instructions were to have fish in by Christmas. I told her I would change my 55g freshwater to the salt and the 75 would be my new freshwater. She told me nope the 75 was going to be your salt water and you need to have fish in it by Christmas.

Welcome to reef2reef and sfin's dream.

Thoughts? Finally all together all coral accounted for

I love that your boys helped out and now have interest in the hobby!

New set up is looking stellar!

He will get there. Both of the boys are projected to be over 6'5"

The oldest at 14 is already ar 6'0"

A while ago I bought lids for the 75 but they didn't fit. I forgot to take them back. As I was digging through my fish gear, I found them. Wouldn't you know it, they fit like a glove.

Those should help with keeping temp up and evaporation.

How tall is your daughter?
The aquascape came out well. It is a wall without looking like a wall, if you know what I mean. Really like it.

sfin52 · Jan 20, 2020

She got stuck with the shortness at a whopping 5'5".
Thanks. The island on the right really stops it looking like a wall. It's the young eyes. Stefan and Matthew helped design the scape. They like the free flowing less is more look. I have to say they did a good job.

Sweet! Just need that coral to grow in now.

sfin52 · Jan 20, 2020

Or more coral. I'm just looking for colorfull zoa or more rfa. I really like rfa and having about 12 would really be a sight. Especially around the base of the rock.

I'm really proud of Stefan. He jumped right in and started pulling coral and rock. He even picked up shrek and moved it to a different bucket. He wanted to make sure it didn't get crushed.
He really helped a ton.

I lost my yellow clown goby. Not sure what happened. I can't find it and not trace of a body.

Oh no! Is there any chance that he's just found a really good hiding place? Did he make the transition from the 75g to the 90g, or is he in your 55g?

I hope it is just hiding.

One can hope. It didn't come out for feeding last night. Very unusual for Bob. Also I noticed my hob siphon cap came off and I think Bob met the siphon tube. That's how he made the transfer to the bucket is through the hose during tank transfers

Uh oh... that doesn't sound good. Still sending you luck though.
