Did you use a razor blade or a basic scraper or what?

Great tank man! Did your mandarin eat prepared food and such at the LFS or did you train him once you got him home? I really want a mandarin, just terrified of their finicky eating habits. On my 180 back in the day my mandarin did great. My new 40 breeder I am a little hesitant.

Thanks buddy, I don't think we should be slaves of all tanks as long as what we doing works

hey guys i need a big help, am trying to place some shrooms and ricordea, but i can not find the perfect spot for it, and i need to take my acan out of the sand, but it seems like all my free rock work is verticall instead of flat, would acan and shrooms do ok in there?

I know acans prefer low light so id try to keep it as low as possible. I'd start the shrooms/ricordea on the sand then gradually move them to where you want. Just my opinion

Ok so lower light on both, will shrooms and acans do well on vertical rocks then??? I had a ricordea attach to a rock and then glue to another and after 1 month of been ok, it just decided to detach itself from the rock, it was vertical

Ricordea usually move to avoid high light or flow, but don't think it's that common. Could also have moved in response to another coral. Don't know about a vertical wall but probably would be fine, could always glue a frag plug or two together to the vertical wall to act as a shelf. Can you take pics of where it is/where it has moved from/where your thinking of putting it? Would be easier with shots for reference.
I don't know much about acans except that they like lower light.

Niiiiiiice. Sweet iwatch, Ive been rocking the Samsung gear fit myself for a year or 2 (note the rainbow montipora background), it's pretty beat up but smart watches are awesome. Caller ID on your wrist is fantastic. I can also buzz my phone if I can't find it [emoji106]. Plus the standard fitness/weather/time. It can't initiate time travel like an iwatch but still pretty sweet :
I don't have any tatts but that one is pretty narley. Bathroom looks great and am super jelly of the boat, where do you live?
