Hey thanks guys.

it is getting there.

things aren't so hot with the sps. I have added some large colonies due to local people getting out of the hobby offloading stuff and most have not faired well. I think I am having issues with keeping the alk stable. just have to tweek the calcium reactor. Didn't want to add sps so soon as I wanted to get everything really squared away.

I have to get my top off setup rigged up. I have been topping off by hand.
bought a 5/8" diamond drill so i can drill some tanks for Water change and top off. I tried drilling my 5.5 and ended up cracking it when I put the speed fit bulkhead. but I figured I would crack it anyway cause it is so thin. I was just drilling it for the hell of it anyway before I start on more expensive tanks.

Been dealing with some ICh too but it seems to be getting better.

CBB was getting thin so started feeding him a mussel everyday and he is fattening up nicely. i was previously feeding him mysis and that didn't seem to be doing the job. I think the CBB eat alot more than people think.
