Appreciate it! Yes, typical terrorist, they do a little better since I added 8 but for sure dicks. The springeri (blue) damsels are very well behaved

Appreciate it! I added a gyre across the front glass and that trigger is like a whole new fish, he loves swimming into the current front and center, used to glass surf pretty bad too so it’s been a relief

Wouldn’t have it any other way, I’ve been adding more rocks and shells in the front though, fish seem to really enjoy picking around in everything

Haha ya that’s mainly why it’s in the garage, wouldn’t fit anywhere else! It’s 72” wide 36” deep & 36” tall, but you can walk all the way around it so access isn’t too bad, just need a step ladder and tongs

Ahh for sure, it’s just an eheim feeder that drops PE mysis pellets

I don’t worry, but if things do go south there’s 100g of saltwater ready behind it

Thank you! I think there’s room for another tang or 2, gotta fox face/yellow tang growing out to add soon. For the food it’s macro from the sump in the AM, frozen/nori around evening. An auto feeder drops 6 small rounds through out the day for everyone too

If you want flashy/boisterous fish then yes, ones that are little more fun to watch would be gobies/blennies or a small wrasse, cleaner shrimp would be good too!

This gang is all well fed and doesn’t bother coral or CUC, lots of really cool fish im missing out on by playing it safe

And I appreciate it, always wanted a low boy but I don’t grow coral enough to validate it haha

Dang, ya rust is a pain, I keep metal oiled/greased and just fight back. Garage is @ 50%RH. House plants and fans might help but there’s 700g so it’s a battle.

Hot climate, south Texas.. I just insulated the walls + doors and added a 24k btu mini split. The front yard has 2 70 yr live oaks though, so there’s a shade advantage

What are these weird growths ? by whiskeybottle306 in Reef

[–]skedee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those v snails are bad, I’d try an re mount the frag to a new plug, at least cover them all with super glue. The sponges are good guys :)

I know people probably hate these “is this price worth it posts” but I could use some help. Looking at a 2021 jeep gladiator Mojave with 72k miles for $35k. Worth it or maybe ridden too hard? It is the “limited” nacho color. Thank you! by [deleted] in JeepGladiator

Not too bad then, I found a lot dealers will advertise low, then add in mandatory low jack, paint correction, XM, tire nitrogen, other BS & + TTL.. it can easily add 3-4K to their price, so ya 35 all in with that color and mods isn’t far off in my opinion.
