Nice video. Herbie is working perfectly!

I was even able to eliminate that small waterfall noise by building a small scaffold out of eggcrate inside the overflow. On top of the scaffold, I placed two small sponges. This way, the waterfall lands silently on the sponges. It has no other effect on the overflow. Even if the sponges get all clogged, the water just runs over their surface and down the overflow normally.

Not too much to report but here's some activity progress.

Reef building 101!

At this point I should mention that I'm considering just lining the floor and walls with acrylic and calling the tank room the new tank, and then poof, I'm done with this. Can't believe I didn't think of this earlier. The door might be a bit tricky, but I'll figure something out..

Anyhow just because I have nowhere else to put these:

The colour is ever so slowly restoring in the purple carpet these days. Hope that positive trend continues!

Someone was out earlier tonight so I snapped a few photos. Glass was dirty so not the best quality, sorry...

Not quite in focus but I love the shot, such classic moray attitude:

Seeing this photo after I uploaded it, I see I found the elastic that disappeared last night.

Also I find it odd that I find myself at odds with piecing together rock the way I think I want it to go together, and yet being influenced by how the rock itself wants to go together and then finding I'm going in a totally different direction than what I thought I had in mind. The thing is ... it's rock? Isn't it inanimate? How is it that I'm losing in a contest of wills to inanimate objects? No wonder my kids are able to get away with anything. Geeze!
