So tank has been cruising. Corals have been growing, but color has been worse. My lights have now been gradually lifted to run Coral Labs AB+ profile at 100%. Coral is doing better but not great. I upgraded to a hanna nitrate and phosphate checker because i couldn't get good readings with my old...
So with a newborn baby, I didn't do much with tank for a while, just maintenance. Last November I decided it had been long enough, and it was time to start adding some corals.

Thanks! My main goal was to have a fully separate compartment so I don't have to worry about corrosion or water damage on electronics. It also includes a vent fan triggered by a temperature sensor. Just need to add doors to the stand.
I'm no expert since I just got mine, but from what i've read melanurus wrasse are pretty low risk for eating inverts so long as you keep them fed. I try to feed 3-4 times a day.

So Reef Factory US came through with a replacement Wrasse. I took in a sample of my water and they found no issues with it. A week later they got me a male melanurus wrasse. He was active right away and started feeding on prepared foods a few days later.
One kind of strange thing is he wakes...
An Ender 3 Pro. I had a friend recommend it as a good, functional out of the box printer, and so far that has been true. I bought it to print gears for follow focus systems for lenses, originally. The parts come out looking 3d printed, but very functional.

Over the last few days I printed out some shrouds for my lights. Definitely makes the tank much more enjoyable to look at. I've also continued to gradually syphon out my fine sand and replace it with aragonite special grade sand.
For father's day my wife got me a few fish, a pair of firefish...
I had found those before, but didn't consider them since it says gen 5, but now that I look closer, I don't think the dimensions changed between Gen 4 and 5, so it'll probably work. Thanks!

Yeah, there are ones that sell 3d printed versions, but if it's going to be 3d printed I could just do it myself if I could find a file.

I have dual xr30 pro gen 4 lights without a hood. I would like to add some small shrouds to stop the light from shining in your eyes when viewing from a seated position.
I have a 3d printer, but haven't found an stl available. Any recommendations?
