    My hubby is happy that I'm happy (happy wife, happy life, right?).  I used to think he didn't pay attention to what's in my tank until one day I brought home a new coral and he said, "I like your new goniopora."  WTH?!  ❤️ 

    Now, if we shared our money, it would be a different matter entirely.  When I tell him I just bought a $500 fish he says, "That's great!  Let me see it!"  If we had a joint budget, well you can guess how that would go over.  Works in reverse too though.  When he wants to show me the new quad he just bought on Craigslist I say, "I'm so happy for you!  Your other 4x4 quad doesn't have a winch.  Plus the color matches your 700 Raptor and YFZ 450.  It can probably fit behind your two Z400s, right next to the Honda 450X and 250X."

    See what I mean?

    Fortunately my wife enjoys the tank as well although is more about the fish than the coral as they have personality. Her father was in to marine life so she had some early exposure and it stuck. I am, however, admittedly more obsessive about it 😁 

    I think finding what they like can be a nice opportunity to find a new relationship over the tank. Most people can't follow a whole tank. 

    Maybe she likes fish over coral. She does study fish behavior.

    Laser pointer refractometer? Make a triangular tube sight glass out of acrylic, shoot the pointer through it, monochromatic sensor wired to Apex breakout on the wall across the room in the right spot for 1.026. How’s that for Rube Goldberg, lol. Sorry for the derail Andrew, I can’t help myself.

    Andrew....if you can build that. You can build this:

    Just remember to leave space in the garage.

    p.s. Also, remember to accommodate the index of refraction from the glass container. Plus, refractometers have a measured prism to precisely angle the declination of light from the glass and saltwater. i.e. three prism "like" processes

    Image result for refractometer

    Dang, that's wild. It was dumping one million gallons per minute! That's quite the pump. I don't imagine BRS has something like that. emoji6.png

    All the drought regions are looking at us with disgust, haha.

    We need to be better people.

  5. Your fish are clowning around. 

    I like this idea:

    You can put them in an acclimation box together.

    Another way I have seen people  chase them into it kinda scaring them into the nem. Took a few min a day for a few days.

    Although, if you see them sprint out of the anemone. Get them out. I believe it will probably never happen.

    I have a pair of long fin clowns and I have had a bubble tip in my tank for about a month and they won’t host it. Any ideas on what I can do to encourage them to host it or why they won’t.
