    Jawbreakers are developing VERY well. The mothers are producing babies that get red before dime sized... genetics matter for these puppies 3rd pic is a purple monster jawbreaker which continues to be jawdropping

    Inspired by @BackbayReef to clean my skimmer, thinking about pulling most the rock out of the sump now cause there's 1,000's of feather dusters and sponges everywhere, tank is mature enough now

    Unfortunately, I've started selling the mother colonies so it's a bit bare right now. v2.0 coming soon. Thinking of doing torches, we'll see though
