Thanks yes I suppose it is! I've really flattened the build curve. All part of getting old or something.

wish I kept a log of all my builds over the years . Still remember when we cut down that 500g tank in your basmt lol . But tank looks awesome stand is super clean :biggrin:. Also really like the scape

Just incredible! I still can't get over how many builds you've done.

Thanks guys. Yeah cutting that tank apart was a learning experience. I recall it went pretty fast once we got the guitar string going!

I actually like going back through old builds for fun sometimes which is why I've made sure all the pics remain on my server. I'm a lot more patient / easy-going with things now which is both good and bad. It makes for fewer and less exciting updates since I'm really not adding or doing much besides letting things grow (the first year of this one didn't really see the kind of growth I'd have expected). If I still had a macro lens and I was spending more on corals like I used to I'd prob be more on top of making some sort of update more regularly.

I have been busy removing all the sand the past month or so. My orange shoulder loves to eat sand then crap it all over my corals and some don't like that too much. I'm being really OCD too and I've been siphoning it out almost nightly for the past month to see if I can truly get it all. I siphon into a mesh bag hanging in a 5g bucket. That bucket then has a small pump putting water back into my sump before the filter sock. In this way I can siphon/turkey baste/siphon sand for hours without having to shut anything down. It's the last 1% which is mostly sand fines that is keeping me busy right now but I am determined! After I blast a few more grains out from under or inside a rock the tang tries to eat it. He follows me around for the whole process it's quite funny.

Alright I tried a tiny bit harder to make these phone shots a bit sexier but... they are what they are lol.

What seasoning is on that popcorn?

I don't use any seasoning. Not even salt, or butter.
