Purtee - you’re much braver than me with those green Codium macros. Mine took over the whole sump so I had to toss them away!

Looking good! The boy is looking for a mate, any thoughts on getting another pink skunk?

thanks! yeah they grow fast. I've been removing some chunks each weekend with water change, and lately to fight off the weirdish dino-type microalgae I've been giving it a tumble in the water change bucket (which ends up removing some more). Brittle stars love it, nitrate hates it!

Thanks! I absolutely would, but since I need to shut this down / pass along in the next 4-5 months i'm not really planning any additions. I guess passing along a clown pair is not that different/harder than passing on a single clown but at this point all the fish I have will have been with me >1yr, most >3yr by the summer so mixing in a new fish feels complicated.

Yeah, that's a tough call, but I would probably do the same thing and not go through the process.

Hey, he's leaving us for the sunny shores of Hawaii.
Wow. Congrats! I guess you'll just jump in the water or go to the tide pools.

We just came back from a trip to Kauai, and it was magical. Already started looking at the beachfront homes for sale...LOL. Then we decided to end our Hawaiian dreams and come back to reality. It was sure relaxing while we were there tho.

Which island you will be relocating to?

Yep what John said! All good things must come to an end, hopefully for more good things to start. We're moving to the Big Island, unclear exactly when but probably around early august/last week of July. So there's still some time, but not that much in the scheme of a reef. So i'm just trying to enjoy my tanks as-is for as many months as I can, and probably May/June start the shutdown.

Kauai looks amazing, I've never been, only Oahu, Maui, Big Island. If you do make it out there come say hi! we can go look for yellow tangs together :P

Gorgonian's yours if you want it when the time comes. I mean it's such a weed i'd give you a big chunk right now if the tank wasn't still in its observation period for another couple weeks.

Unfortunately (for you) @OldReefGuy already has dibs on the yellow leather so he's got first right of refusal on that one!

Wait - isn’t there a long line wrapped around Dan’s house for it? I’ve even set up camp like Black Friday’s during Y2K!!!

Haha @OldReefGuy called dibs a looooong time ago when he was by for something, i forget what. You must be confusing my house with the stakeout around Jesse's for his gigs :p
Nope! Now in my older years, I’ve paid some college kids to camp outside Jess’s hood for good measures. They got papers to keep those nICE guys away… ;)

I need to stop by so we can go to Jesse's to see the gigs. Oh, and sorry for letting the cat out of the bag with you moving, I didn't realize it would create such massive Black Friday craziness. :D
