Are you not supposed to cook them before putting in the tank ? People cook live rock, so I figured why not throw some frags in the oven at 350 for an hour to sterilize. Before they go in my tank.

Anyways I think I identified that everything that was supposed to be there is there, funny thing is there is one frag, that is near identical to the cancelled frag.

Good enough for me, now we wait for them to get less ****ed off

So got a bunch of frags in today good thing and progress, must be counterbalanced with bad stuff.. Maxi mini decided to go for a walk into the mp40 , thankfully it's a maxi mini anenome , however I since I run my mp 40s at half speed, it didn't demolish him, he plugged it right up... And knocked it down. I think he will see another day.

Borrowed me a decent camera so maybe I can finally get some decent pics. On the go .

Well my OCD has subsided a touch, and I've started to enjoy other non fish related activities for the time being. I did finally get my water change system almost done now.

Got a couple speed waves to power the water upstairs, all plumbed using 3/4 inch line. Basically one line goes upstairs now and using valves I "should " be able to siphon / pump fresh and salt water.

Gonna test it out later today, as I would like to get a water change in tomorrow. And I'm really sick of hauling fresh water upstairs daily.

The make sense of everything in my head drawing.

The reality of it.

Still gotta drill the freshwater for the float valve as I never realized the inhearent danger of using a hang on float. As its constantly being pushed upward I guess the acrylic likes to break. Gonna use a kent, as I think the eshopps is a pos

Just following what the pros do

Anyways got the rest of the braided hose to go from the sink to the tank.

Turned on the water from the bottom most tank, so far no leaks from my crummy plumbing skills. And the water from the speed waves seems to be pumping through at a reasonable rate. Making up my first batch of salt water with the new system. Gonna add some supports to the plumbing.
