Hello all and Happy New Year’s Eve!
Wishing everyone has a prosperous 2023!!

I’ve never kept track of my progress as I was stuck in the world wind of one step forward, two dead corals back for a while.
I know I’ll always be a student of the hobby and now I’m making progress!! Corals are thriving and since adding the Hydros controller for Ph, it’s made a difference.

I’m bad with coral names but I do know I have quite a few CaliKid and some cherry coral species and a lot from Ellis Aquatics in Compton CA.

One thing I do plan to do in the spring is tint my glass with yellow window tint. I absolutely love the pop and I’m willing to sacrifice my eyes for this :)
