Sundays are tank maintenance day so 20% waterchange and scrub of the HOB, also have this thick green hardened layer on some of the Macro from the RSM.

Scrubbed that too, will work on a couple pieces a day. 

 

Hantu is being rather harsh to Puaka at the moment so he's getting fed live BBS, rotifers and pods to pack on some muscle. Hantu just loves the pellets, piggy

That’s nice! If you off set then in the tank they will look awesome! Do you have any little bits to creat small frag ledges? 
Ps: really liked the two shops you recommended. Picked up some nice frags from marine world.

I want to make a flat stone base that will connect the two. Think I have a suitable piece or two that I can pull and scrub from the RSM. Might just eggcrate and foam it at this point lol. 

 

Nice, can't wait to see what you picked up. Got my eye on a nice toadstool or leather for this tank. Actually can't wait to get in 2mrw and see if the Pico's ready

Can you not use rock? Would be better for the bio filter than the foam?

Looks good. Worried its a little large for this tank 😂

You would probably drop it and break it to small pieces anyway!

Just was reading up on the power outage you had. Sorry, that’s a real bummer (understatement of e century, I know). New tank looks great though! How are you liking the hydor pico pump? I’ve read mixed reviews and people not liking the mounting arm. I have a 5 gallon myself at home and still playing around with the flow.

I really like the pump. I have two actually. One is on this cube the other is the return in my Spec 3. I wish they would make an even smaller version for my Pico lol 50gph would do

 

This tank I use the mounting arm and I do quite like it, got a nice little clip to mount the cable onto to keep it out of the way. One of them had a really irritating rattle that I fixed by turning the pump upside down? That's now in the back of the Pico and working silently.

Here is what I am thinking about currently for the Clowns tank, couple of barnacles either side and a couple of rocks for a single cave/cavern and cover

That’s a nice idea with the barnacles as well! 
PS: you shoes need polishing!
