Looks great Paulie. I wish the boss lady would let me get a second tank to have some seahorses. I’m slowly wearing her down.
Currently dealing with a little GHA outbreak, but it’s almost gone.
Everything looks fat, happy and growing though.
Not a great pic, but it’s the newest.

Thanks.
Nice Monti. Looks like a nice size too.
I just got mine from Pacific East last week. Blood Pool Monti. The pic doesn’t do it justice.
My clown Globy loves it. Sleeps under it at night and hangs out on it when he knows I’m about to feed everyone.

Well does suck caused happened to me a few weeks ago.
Today and yesterday work was murder. Sat down to check out my tank not to bad just needs a glass cleaning I said to myself. Turn away and hear this horrible rattling noise coming from tank. Deduce its coming from sump; unplug all and turns out return pump crapped out. No biggy I have 2 others and can swap out, yeah right. Smaller pump doesn't fit as connection to small. Mag9 barb was way small grab other barb and to big..WTF. So after rummaging around found PVC connector I could screw into Mag9. Now hose was to small. I found a larger hose I could squeeze into the connector and squeezed smaller hose into the other hose. Hooked it all up and working. Spent time adjusting flow and then skimmer because pump is way larger than the other. An hour and a half later in done.
PITA squeezing under that tank 3 foot back.

Stage 1: This hobby seems fascinating!
Stage 2: I'm building myself a tank. Sure, theres a ton of problems, but its just the learning curve. This is fun!
Stage 3: Cyano and diatomes are in my new tank? Panic, but we'll get through this.
Stage 4: The tank looks great! This is the best hobby, so relaxing.
Stage 5: Easy cruising, this is so cool. Love to chill and just look at the tank for all the interesting things. Wait, WTF? Is that some kind of hair algae?
Stage 6: Glad I managed that algae, took 6 months, but...WTF is that aptasia?
Stage 7: After all those shrimp and filefish, glad I have that under some kind of control. WTF! Is that turf algae?
Stage 8: I'm trying to manage the turf algae, or hair algae, or whatever it is! WTF! What's the red film s*&^ on the sand!
Stage 9: I give in. I'm giving up the tank, it takes too much time and money. Cheap deals on a breakdown everybody!
Stage 10: Well, its been 3 months, I'm going to get a bigger tank and try again.
Repeat.

No!
you’ve got to be kidding. That’s horrible man. I’m sorry that happened.
Are all the corals and fish okay?
Click to expand...
Fish are good and I believe 99% of coral is ok,, but pissed off and little beat up. They are gonna have to get used to their new surroundings and the way the light will effect them now. I think I might lose a seahorse, think he got crushed by a boulder, he was acting off kilter, he was just laying on the bottom barley doing anything then when I touched him he got up and took off looking ok. Hour later same thing happened. Anyway I have about 15 coral frags of all sizes in a Tupperware container in my refugium, also my cheato has been dying for 2 weeks now and yesterday was the end of it, but the refugium walls have a huge mat of green algae growing on them(3walls). I’m thinking of just cleaning it out and just adding another protein skimmer ( I have an extra one)
Oh and there’s no way I’m gonna try and run 2 tanks anytime soon
