The Rabbitfish is a little bigger than a credit card. Favourite fish in the tank right now, mainly because he ate all of the grape caulerpa that hitchhiked in.

I was really hesitant to put in the angel, but the wife kept begging for him. So happy he isn't a polyp nipper.

well. Had a really crappy run of things lately.
Cliffs notes:
-wanted to try tweaking coral colour a little bit so i started ZEO.
-stopped dosing prodibio, took gfo offline as required.
-started to notice some good coloration and increased growth.
-Started getting some cyano, and hair algae
-started losing fish
-hair algae and cyano exploded to epic proportions.
-removed zeo, started doing bi-weekly water changes, and replacing gfo weekly.
-hang head and mourn the loss of five fish.



Moral of the story... If it ain't broke, don't fix it...



I am going to be upgrading my return pump in a little bit to help with water turn over through the sump. i was also debating on swapping out the dosing pumps for a calcium reactor. In the last two months i have had my ago pump water into my alk container, and two hose clamps come undone and pump ca and alk into my stand for a few days.

Since i've been focused on training for the cross fit open, it doesn't help that i have not been paying as close attention to the tank as i guess i suppose i should be.
