Twin,

You will be happy to know that I put my best nutrient export tool back to work.

Not really. I am providing shade for Chilli and a Tang feeding station. So, instead of nutrient export, I am doing nutrient recycling.

I made an acrylic bracket to hold eggcrate platform 6” below surface. I had already experimented with Tangs on favorite macro and it was Red Grapes. But they also eat Green Grapes which I had growing outside in 150G Rubbermade tanks buried in ground.

The deep water gorgonions are liking their shaded playground. I still have hopes for Chilli. I will not make the rock wall mistake again with bulldozer urchins in tank.
