We should have a special award for people punish themselves like that.

I'm not sure we have a headcount considering the confusion with location change... But hopefully it will be a big one.

I think I'm going to make that a common occurrence now.

You can get 5lb CO2 bottles filled at Austin Homebrew.

Our coral viewer arrived today... If you don't have one already, you need one! Wow! What an amazing difference taking pictures!

That's a lot simpler than figuring out how to set that up with the apex. Dang.

Yes, it's still at 2pm.

Entertainment in the sump last night.

Many times you will see surface scum in sumps. This is because the overflow in the display tank pulls out the surface scum then drops it in to the sump. That plus all the aeration creates more surface area for adhesion. I usually see a little scum in my sump if we don't run a small pump to agitate the surface, or if it's been a while since the last water change.

You can manually remove the slime by skimming the surface with a bowl or container.

I suppose that's one of the downsides of the aggressive fish. At least they had a nice expensive meal.

That's the plan!

Yes, this is true. The benches are for guests.

Those are some beautiful fish! Looking nice!

Finally found some bench seating for tank viewing. Texas appropriate.

And that new starfish seems like he's gonna make it! Finally started to move around today.

Labouti says hello.

I have 2 missions...

1. Sell all my corals.

2. Figure out how to get a swap that awesome up here in Austin going.

It would seem that there's no reason we couldn't have a swap that's as big here.

Nice! You'll do very well down there.

Assuming it's as busy as the MAAST swap, you can expect to come home with a lot less corals.

Although I will say, they have so many vendors now, it's going to be harder to stand out.

Ha! That's awesome! SAoSA has no idea what's coming for them. Wait, actually, they probably do... I suspect they will be happy.

Now I just need to figure out if you fragged up anything I don't already have. Hmm.

Nice! It used to not be acrylic safe. Ordered one.

YAY! That's good to hear.

-1 for acrylic.

That would just destroy my tank. Boo.

I like the simplicity of the setup. Looks elegant. Can't wait to see it going.

It's been about 9 months... It seems to grow a lot of coralline... Kinda annoying really.

I have no clue if it works on glass. I would suspect so, but it would seem like the amount of elbow grease would be substantially more considering it's a lot harder material.
