Oh itā€™ll show up. Theyā€™ve never treated me wrong at CVL. Itā€™s just pitiful that I got It for my wrasses and now thereā€™s literally nothing in there that will even attempt to jump. Donā€™t know many CUC capable of it. And no lid can keep a determined snail in.

I was just poking fun.

How do those tops do regarding sagging/curling?Ā 

They do look nice.

Havenā€™t had one sag yet, this will make my third purchase from them. And Iā€™m pretty free with taking them off, hauling them around, dropping them occasionally... theyā€™re hard wearing. @TamberavĀ has them

on her tank to prevent cat predation and I think she said they support the cats weight.

Itā€™s been over three weeks since all my fish died on me. The one lone survivor, a green chromis,Ā is doing well. Corals have finally started looking amazing and recovered from the stress of it all.Ā 
Ā 

Electricity was out yesterday as a noxious side effect of Hurricane Laura, and stayed off for 7.5 hours. Kept flow moving using battery powered air pumps, and thankfully the house never got hot in either room the tanks are in. Will be looking into a generator though before these next two storms get here.Ā

Few FTS. Looks kind of blah until you zoom in. Canā€™t wait til all this stuff starts to fill in.Ā

Everything is starting to mature.... your pics are getting better .... nice job!

I was afraid Iā€™d lost a bunch of corals following the great die off of the fish and the removal of all the rock that day,Ā and I did lose some, like the alveopora and goniopora. Pissed off a lot of others, but everything is coming back nicely. I replaced a couple of montis that completely died on me, but for the most part everything elseĀ made it through. I lost all but three pieces of SPS sticks, and I havenā€™t bothered to replace those. Maybe eventually but too costly right now.Ā 
Ā 

So, happily watching the tank grow šŸ™‚. Waiting for the day I can put fish back in.

They are polycarb and not acrylic...I have some that are a few years old and they have zero sagging. I recommended the classic one as far as durability goes.

So I finally got my lid from Clearview.... itā€™s too big šŸ˜«šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­.Ā 
Ā 

Hangs off the front by a good half inch and doesnā€™t sit down inside the tank rim like it should. They checked the records and I gave them the right measurements but someone didnā€™t cut the pieces short enough to sit inside- itā€™s like they did the opposite. Sooooooo theyā€™re supposed to cut me new sections and send them and I can put them together myself. Such a bummer!

Ā 

Ā 

Ā 

Had no time when I got home from work tonight but to dump some food in the tank on the run and hurriedly glue my gold hammer back down. The corals still look amazing, even as a blur. Maybe tomorrow I can sit down and enjoy it.

Surprised you can't return it and have them put it together for you unless you don't mind doing it.

Ā 

Mine was slightly off around the overflow and probably my fault...but they sent me a return shipping label and had me send the whole thing back. I didn't put mine together or anything.

Ā 

I don't recommend the puzzle ones actually although I have one cuz I ordered it by mistake. Salt creep builds around where they snap together. The classic has no such issues. It should work though...just need to wipe it off periodically.

Ā 

If I remember right, I had to buy the tsunami version because it was a custom build. They donā€™t have my tank in their list of normal build options. And they admitted it was their mistake, and my husband said the same thing- why should we pay for their mistake? I donā€™t know why, but theyā€™ve always been incredibly nice to me over other screens Iā€™ve had built so I didnā€™t want to rock the boat.Ā

I battled- literally a struggle- to not participate in my LFSā€™s Labor Day sale. But my husband got fed up with myĀ moping and told me to just go already. Got three things: purple branching hammer, hot little rainbow acan, and a new alveopora or goniopora (couldnā€™t tell exactly which and itā€™s not completely open yet). But itā€™s a nice purple/green color.Ā

For some reason my utter chaos zoa barfed up its guts and seems to be dying. Complete bummer- I was very excited and hung up on the idea of that spreading across the front of the rocks. But the JF 001 favia is starting to grow (!) and the golden hammer is coming back from its insult when all the fish died. Itā€™s not showing itā€™s dark gold color at the moment but Iā€™m glad itā€™s coming back.Ā

The big tank is still plugging along. Having some issues with the big elegance being retracted during the day suddenly- canā€™t see anything that might bother it but some little fan worms. I didnā€™t figure those usually bother a coral that big. Hopefully it will get happy again.Ā 
Ā 

otherwise itā€™s doing okay. The tube nem had a baby!Ā

One last set of pictures for the day- got some top down views, especially of some stuff that lives just out of my line of sight since Iā€™m a midget.Ā 
Ā 

I think my rainbow acan is going to be absolutely beautiful when it grows up šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜. Got some gorgeous stuff in there right now. And if my elegance dies again- Iā€™m going to quit messing with them. Maybe get a second rainbow trachy or welso or red cynarina. Something bright thatā€™s not as obnoxious and needy.Ā

That acan is amazing!! Elegances are weird....when I upgraded mine was receding in the 80 so I stuck it back in the 25 which is a QT tank so it doesn't get regular water changes or dosing or testing and it gets treated with prazipro sometimes but the damn thing loves it in there.

Thanks I canā€™t wait for it to grow out. I placed it on the end of the tank where thereā€™s very little of anything so itā€™ll be an eye catcher in the future.Ā

And as I figured, the elegance is severely retracted yet bloated. So tomorrow I will place it in a higher flow area but I have very little hope for it- every time theyā€™ve done this to me theyā€™ve died.Ā 
Ā 

So also tomorrow I have something extra special coming to brighten the tank. Iā€™m super pleased that stuff is growing- the rainbow monti is starting to really extend and encrust. Almost all of the zoas have babies. The 5 types of stick SPS I have left have amazing PE.Ā 
Ā 

My media these days consists of a cup of carbon and maybe 1/8th cup of phosguard, with signs showing me I donā€™t even need that much, or any. The sea lettuce macro and red ogo are growing steadily though not super fast, and yes thereā€™s GHA in the sump. But I hope when the cooler temps hit to be able to get my Phyto growing operation back up to par and dose the tank so that GHA dies down.Ā 
Ā 

Honestly the tank is doing so well itā€™s a relief. If the crabs and snails would leave stuff alone and not knock it down I wouldnā€™t even have to put my hands in there at all, but I find myself weekly having to glue something back. Super glue never cooperates like I want it to.Ā 
Ā 

So hereā€™s to my super pretty coming tomorrowĀ
