Ya, I know :rolleyes: but it's better than hookers and blow :mrgreen:

New dude is eating frozen already, and I see I'll have to use some Prazi-pro

if you are thinking about the flame wrasse pair at JL, and only want the male, I will take the female.

Nice thought Peter but it'll be months before I buy more for the QT
It's a 20g so I like to only add 2 or 3 at a time and hope J&L can find the Tamarin
But, with that said, if the Tamarin is MIA for good, I'll put a hold on the pair for 'us'

you know me, always try to look out for my friends.:mrgreen:

Well, the Tamarin @ J&L is still MIA, so I grabbed a different wrasse
Our new Lubbock's will make a good buddy for the McCosker's while in the QT
Both ate brine and mysis tonight, 10 mins after introducing the new dude :smile:
And the Lubbock's has brought the McCosker's out of hiding

I'm hoping the Coris I grab this weekend will be a good fit too

One more update ...

The dosing pumps are something I should have bought last year
I haven't tested for over 10 days, and today's readings are;
Mag 1450
Alk 7.5
Ca 420

And;
Temp 79F
Sg 1.025
NO3 0
PO4 0 ?

The Seachem additives, and my IO salt, are keeping the Mag up, so I still don't need to dose, and I even wish it was a little lower

I've been feeding the fish heavily lately to perk up my corals, and still no detectable readings, but I'm getting HA again so, a shopping I will go
I'm ordering a Hanna Phos tester as soon as I submit this post

I've had trouble getting readings with the Hanna PO4 tester. I always get a reading of 0 even though I have a bunch of hair algae and turf algae growth as of late. I'm thinking the po4 is being consumed faster than it can be detected by the meter and thus I feel PO4 testing is overrated. I am curious to see what kind if readings you get with your meter.
