    Keep an eye out on the reef section, I am diving into a small/midsized reef tank with a lot of help from some friends here on Simply. Stay tuned
    A reef tank, wow. I look forward to seeing this.

    Ordered more fish from Gabe at Wattley's:

    Two Blue Snakeskins 5.5"
    Two Cobalts 5.5"
    One Rafflesia 5.5"

    Really pleased with the first group I received, which are doing well. So big and beautiful, and adding much red color to my tank. The new ones should add some blue color.

    RE: driftwood: I trimmed my driftwood of most of the jutting branches and put it back in my 180gal. No more fish scrapes so far, I think it's more acceptable now. It doesn't look too much different from before since most of the branches were on the rear side.

    He's got the ITUS!!!

    Nice to hear, hope they are just as gorgeous if not more so than your current ones and add the blue beauty you seek!

    I love a nice Rafflesia!

    Thanks, we'll see. He only had a few pics of these while holding them in his hand, so not as sure what they'll look like this time. Hoping they're as big and nice as the ones in my first order.

    What is ITUS? (pretty sure I have this though)

    I think ITUS might be the general category: Impulsive Tendencies & Urges Syndrome, and what we have is the D-ITUS (sub-category):

    Discus
    Implusive
    Tendencies
    Urges
    Syndrome

    definitely a real thing

    My two Blue Panda Leopard Crosses laid eggs yesterday after I installed an Inkbird and water temp dropped a few degrees. But I have five more fish arriving today: two 5.5" Blue Snakeskin, two 5.5" Cobalts, one 6" Rafflesia. Agression is not too bad so I might leave them in and monitor.

    They look amazing Kenny. I have heard this before that a temp drop can send them into spawning.

    You are obviously in your grove with their care. Would love to see pics of the entire tank since it has been awhile. '

    Good luck with incoming. You made some great selections. That tank will be stunning.

    Hi Jenene,

    They have been defending only just the immediate area so not too bad. Not interested in raising fry atm so hopefully they don't hatch. Will try and take full tank pic very soon.

    Here's a shot of most of the tank. I'll try to get a better one soon.
