It's the first scape I've ever done that I've been 100% happy with haha I am contemplating adding a small piece in the front. My plan is to grow so many corals and frags on the BB, like what WWC has in their big tanks!

No matter how hard I try, I always end up with a bearded vortech from my own beard ;Hilarious

This could open up a whole new line of reefing gear, also effective on GHA ;Hilarious

I missed a bunch of updates sorry but the tank is coming along Awsome!
pretty sure there is also only 1 Neptune trident in Australia to add to the Neptune discussion but I could be mis informed.
Do you mind me asking where did you get your bounce mushroom from I havnt seen one in a store around here just the photo of a ricordia that had ‘bounced’ from bespoke?
Where the 2x mp40’s not enough flow or not directional enough since the other powerhead addition on the back?
Sorry if I doubled up on a question somewhere, and love how the tank is coming along, can’t wait to see it grown in

Haha no stress, thanks for catching up mate!
There's definitely only one or two, might be a few more that no one has posted about but they're definitely not available for purchase yet.
Bounce came from a local, there's a few around but they're not from stores. You'd have to keep an eye out on the classifieds to find one or make a post in the groups about wanting one to get, be prepared to pay like $2k though haha
I definitely want more flow in the tank, the aim is to get another 2 MP40's in the tank for more flow variety and less dead spots. It's less about bulk flow and more about general overall flow variety for me. I could definitely get away with these two but I always want more haha

Fair enough maybe I’ll chase one in the future if the price goes down or I get a lot more money haha. Thanks for the info on the flow

Hey man! Thanks for the compliments haha and yeah, the bloom was absolute madness! I'm glad it's over with now though. Yep still running the UV and will probably continue for a little while longer too

We're really loving the place too! It's been so amazing having our own place!

How good is the freedom from having a real estate agent breathing down your neck about the smallest thing!
You can drill holes in your walls and spill water without a worry in the world haha.

What brand is your UV? I'm looking at running one just for water clarity/algae control and I'm interested in your thoughts.

It's amazing, so nice to have the freedom of doing what you like and not having to worry about landlords or approval or anything! I must admit we were pretty lucky in the last place as it was so old and tired that the landlord didn't really give a stuff about what we did haha

I think off the top of my head it's an Orca 36w unit, it's a cheaper unit because I wasn't spending $500+ on something I might only use temporarily but it's been great! Uni Hill Aquarium were who I got it from and they stock them

Hey, happy to see the tank getting there.
It will soon be full of nice colonies!
i didn't catch if your rocks were dead live rock or man made, if so wich brand?
I really like your scape.
On the gaming side... just finished tlou part 2, wow the story is as immersive and emotional than the first.
Naughty dog is the best storytelling studio i've encountered so far.

Thanks man! It's been really slow here in Aus reefing because of COVID! It's put the price of stock shipping through the roof so most stores are getting bare minimum and tiny amounts of fish haha I'm really sad as I just want to buy things hahaha
It's real reef rock

all dead

definitely one of my favourites of the dead rocks out there!

I've heard amazing things about tlou 2, I've been mostly playing Escape From Tarkov and I'm holding my breath so hard for Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassins Creed Valhalla!! I am so excited for those games haha (and the new Crash Bandicoot as well haha)
