I love the red carpet anemone! They always look so amazing at FJW. How is it doing?

Doing great but way bigger than I would like. Thankfully he has not captured any of my fish. Missed you at Reef Currents this year.

I don't think this is a different one. Why do you think so?

i gave him to Dennis last Sunday. He put him in that large cube at the front. He was too big for my tank. He's absolutely beautiful. Unless he received more this week that's probably him. Good to see he is in a big tank....

Mounted the counter to my control board. Now I just need to follow through and keep up with those water changes.

My counter made it up to 16 [emoji53]
Thankfully I made time to do a 30 gallon water change and reset it back to zero. I also made a cool discovery while doing the water change. I have a good sized juvenile banner cardinal in my overflow. Must have been a baby from my pair that fended for himself and survived with no help from me.

Dude...Super clean job. Well done! Can I steal the colored tag Idea for the wiring?!?

More details please! I have my labeling on my wires. It never seems to last. Plus I can't read it. I did it with a label marker, but the way I attached it sucks.

I finally installed some wood trim around the tank last week. I think it looks great as is but I plan on painting it as well.

Added a ecotech battery backup to my panel today. I am glad I over built it because I would of never guessed how much weight it would need to support.

Nice setup! What did you make that board out of? Prefab or made it yourself?

Also, what's that timer thing?

I made it out of plywood, if you scroll up in this thread you can see pictures of the build. The timer counts the number of days since my last water change. It is an attempt to shame me into doing them more frequently.
