Absoloute chaos. This last week started feeling like work again so decided to take some time off but proud to say I got my sand rinsed and in tank.
Removed the frag racks(detritus traps) rocks where sitting on. Did some rearranging with rock to hopefully better defelction and water flowing through the tank. Flow has been trickiest part in this deeper water tank. Miss my old tables here.
I am now pushing 65 watts of water through this little 80 gallon tank. 1x Y splitter and 1 hard 90 at each return. If I had to guess I'm easily sitting around 7-900 gph. With barely a peep. Deflection will be key here in next cpl weeks. I must figure out a way to keep water moving inside the tank but minimal flow directly on shrooms. Too many babies lost to risk it.

The good, bad and really dumb haha
Currently in negotiations to get the wife to turn wave makers down.
Did I mention flow has been the hardest thing to achieve?
And why didn't get something i could control from an app. Haha. Figured the MP pumps would have been to much for system. Went with smallest wavemakers i could find and still too much flow.
Got some floaters getting ready to happen lol

Was going through some pictures and thought I'd post up some cool foot booger progression pix.
Took Mini Minecraft on 4/4
She had a mouth and eating between week 1 and 2.
She should be covering 3/4" plug mid september She practically is when she super happy but not sure if that counts
Day 1
Took her stretched "webbed" out piece of foot you can see guts spilling out of cut.
Pretty close to 1 week after cut.
You can see she shrunk up on disc but in the meantime if you look real close you can see the mouth. Right around now my wife told me she hit it with reef roids and it balled up. Didnt believe her because I could see mouth.
The rest are pretty self explanatory
I will note that I had a Toxic bounce cut actually twice this size in as many months.
I also have a CB Radioactive taken on same day thats 1/3 this size.
Point is some may progress slower than others. Crazy thing is I have a cpl shrooms I took my very first foot cuts from that to this date have never dropped a baby naturally and may never have if I didn't take a baby.
I'll probably do a separate thread trying some discos and other stuff I haven't tried yet. So we can track progress and success rates among different species and such

Pix or it didn't happenI so need to spam you a natural baby pic, just cleaned the glass.
I love natural babies. Kinda wish Roxanne would take a break right now her babies are dropping babies all over frag rack and tiles.
You know I strongly advise against cutting them. Taking feet this way is closest thing you can get to natural. Some of the foot boogers I took I just helped along. The stretched out and webbed pieces of feet are typically the babies they drop walking around and such

This is NOT mine. But it's gorgeous and I wanted to share it with you.

The bean bag types are nice. Remind me of hammers. Im curious what they look like in whites though. One of my lfs brings them in quite a bit. Look alot like the pic @danieyella posted in whites but had one that turned pink in blues.
