Threw in the "biological" filtration. These are Perna viridis, the Asian green lipped mussel. They do amazing things for water clarity, but can be a pain when they spawn and clog your pipes/hoses. I've found a solution to that though... More in later pictures.

This is just an egg from a sunbird nest that was built in the tank. I guess the parents thought it looked like a safe place? Anyway, ACRES came and moved the nest.

And this is a cardinal of some sort that came in with the bycatch. Can someone ID it?

Oh yeah, tanks 3 and 2 are getting built while tank 4 fills up.

Filter media for a 200,000 litre quarantine can be hard to get your hands on at reasonable rates. It's also a massive safety issue if we're going to be snorkeling and swimming around in there. So after some testing and consulting, I hacked some 4 inch hollow blocks and built a filter wall that's perfect for coral to adhere to.
