Love the blue ambience just opening the basement door and looking down from the 1st floor

When I leave the basement lights off it looks great too especially since you can't see the mess everywhere else

So the plywood board looked horrible painted so I wanted to look for other options...

Found a 2'x4' MDF chaulkboard panel at Home Deopt for $9 bucks and picked one up this morning and redrilled the holes and it looks way better

Gotta sand the plywood or buy sanded plywood, MDF works well too.

That's way too much work the $9 chaulkboad black MDF board was much easier

Tank is looking good and the fish are starting to eat like their normal piggy selfs! The male clown looked like he was getting something on his scales so I startes soaking the food in garlic and it's made a big difference over the past two days. Also the tyree toadstools seemed to have made it after I had to cut out all the softies that were getting black...

Here's a quick video from this morning's feeding

afboundguy's better 1/2 wasn't a fan of the setup with the work bench acting as sort of a wall. I want to add a wall and a wall behind the tank to semi-finish the area. So I got a good workout swapping out the metal storage rack and the work bench. Had to move the work bench like the Egyptian's and had to use a round wooden dowl as it is quite heavy!!! Also added a flag and a sky backdrop so she wouldn't see all the stuff in the shelves

Tackled the RKE organization this morning. Didn't have time to make it 100% organized especially behind the board but it's a start! Afboundguy's better 1/2 is much happier!

Lot roomier as well once you turn the stairs as the 3 buckets holding up the top to a spare bin is gone!

 

[afboundguy]

Made a stop at a LFS and picked up some euphyllias, an RBTA and a tester acan as I relapsed

 

[afboundguy]

Quick FTS before work not the best looking with the LEDs but better than no picture!

 

[afboundguy]

Set up new fuge lighting as my old 2 light one had one of the lights cut out so I bought these that had 2 sets of 2 for 4 total lights. Put 3 of them on the fuge and one in the first section that has the live rock with the turf algea and zoas on the old tank rock

Snapped a few pictures tonight with the orange cell filter Actually have a full day off tomorrow and want to try and get a fish or two

Also plan to try and get some nylon screws for the probe holder I 3D printed and hook up the pH probe to the RKE

Picked up a nice bicolor blenny from @LoveTheReef and little guy was already pigging out a few hours after he moved into his new home!

Nice setup man! Appreciate the shoutout!

Can't be upset that a fish I just got started eating right away so figured I'd give credit where credit is due!

One day I may get a proper QT setup running but I am not holding my breath!
