Redid the light mount because the previous version wicked water to the floor.

 

I see lots of blue hypnea growth and I'm hoping to do them justice this time around. The zoas I put into this tank don't seem to be doing well, but hopefully the better spread and intensity adjustment from the new light height will make them happier.

Had to adjust the light intensity a bit after the new mounting height. I think it's in a good place now (fingers crossed). Also makes pruning and maintenance much easier.

Tank looks great, though it looks like it’s about to be stormed by a tiny character of some kind. And what’s up with the name change… you go into witness protection? 🥷

The name change is just to be real since I'm already sharing pictures of my house here.

The "tiny character" is Donatello, only the most awesome Ninja T. XD

Ah I win… I totally thought it was a ninja turtle but my hubby thought it was buzz lightyear. 😆😆😆 The new ninja turtle movie coming out soon looks pretty good… planning to see it with my teenager. 

 

Well nice to meet you officially then… I’m Karen but I’m sure you’ll understand if I stick with Bana. 😉🤗

This tank wasn't forgotten. I just trimmed it, but I'm still not satisfied. My car has been in the shop for almost 3 months now and I'm just itching to go to the beach and get some yellow macros to complete it.

Life got in the way and the tank was not maintained and went downhill from the last rescape. Though it looks like it's turning into a zoa/shroom tank, I still want this to mostly be macroalgae.

 

The good is that I added Swales Basslets to this tank around 6 months ago and have actually paired up.
