Look at all the hair algae I have. I'm going to see how the new system does with decent skimming and a Kole tang. Perhaps my skimmer failed the NP test for me but I didn't really feel it.

Swap over looks great Brett! Can't wait to see those SPS grow in for you.

Your the 3rd person in about 4 days who I have heard is stopping the pellets because they either caused hair algae in two cases or bleached livestock in the other.

I was reading on RC about the pellets and your results are not uncommon.

Yeah so I sorta got new fish already. I never said I was perfect

Bangaii I had already mentioned. He's been in another reefer's care for a year and is nice and large. Eating mysis like a pig. Kole grazes like a machine and loves mysis too. Working on pellets. Wrasse hunts pods with a vengeance and today also had some mysis.

that wrasse is bad a** ha ha. Looking great bud

Nice. You'll enjoy the Kole. Very hard working guy. What species is the 4th pic of? (little light?) Very cute spawn.

P.S. When can we look forward to the next shirt design?

Lol thanks. That frag turned 3 in July and shows no signs of slowing in growth. As far as her place in the Light family I'd classify her as a plasma. A ton of energy (re: tantrum power) in a small package!

I have plenty of shirt ideas but it costs me a fair amount (in my world) to print a batch so none in the near future unless I somehow sell a bunch more. So busy with work that I sorta forgot about my side business to be honest!

Looks fantastic!

sweet stand and tank.

question for you - how did you make the corners look seamless? did you mitre them or just wood fill/paint?

cheers;

Thanks guys.

I don't have a garage these days and I was in a rush so the wood sides are normal cuts that sorta met up sorta square. I then mastered the art of using wood filler lol. Paint to seal the deal! In person it basically looks like a seamless box with trim on 3 sides.
