110g Mixed Reef V2

[Delphinus]

The first week with a new fish is the worst. Seems if they can get past that hazing then generally speaking it will get better. The eggcrate SHOULD help and ... well .. yeah, you can feel bad for the tangs but it's only for a few days, at least there's that.

Nice score on the yellow birdsnest .. I like these a lot. One day I might have to look for one myself as I've only been able to admire them in "other people's tanks".

And ... as an aside ... I thought of a new career for you: CNN ticker tape writer.

Every single post ...... comes out as one enormous run-on sentence ....... with no punctuation except ellipses ....... It's like reading one enormous stream of consciousness ..... which is an actual thing ..... google it someday ....... but it's no biggie ...... I've come to accept that your posts just kind of have a certain look and feel ....... and that lonely period character on the keyboard gets to get used an awful lot ........ in your FACE, comma key! ...... Coming up next on CNN ...... Robyn the cute anchor lady will flirt with the weather dude ....... and James Earl Jones will announce "THIS. IS. CNN." .... Don't turn that channel! ........

Not sure if it's the time of year or what, but I've been having the same problem the last few weeks.....I haven't seen an aptasia in my tank for a long time.......now poof! I found five, the aptasia X seems to work, but there have been a few resistant SOB's that keep coming back

ya it was a PITA.....royal PITA......Im sure that "Murphy's law" will kick in and the little bugger wont eat the little buggers....aptaisia are like la cucaracha, mang!

That's what I did when I added my moorish idol. After 10 days the purple tang was still aggressive Towards him.

Im hoping that my yellow isnt the exception to the rule....purples and sailfins are known for being the more aggressive of the zebrasoma tangs and yellow and scopas are supposed to be less aggressive......*sends vibes towards his yellow* "mellow yellow....mellow yellow"

after getting rid of the purple tang i ended up getting rid of both of my yellow tangs too in an effort to keep my moorish idol as happy as possible

well MIs are just about the biggest pussies that swim......CBs are a little more adept at holding their own.....I hope


have you ever had an epiphany and think to yourself that you are so smart for thinking of that, only realize that you were actually stupid for not thinking of it before?.....finally figured out a way to keep my frags on my ghetto homemade frag rack




duh!.....why didnt I think of doing this years ago???? would have saved a few frags from getting lost behind the rocks....


I played with the settings on the camera a bit.....I think I may have finally nailed the color....







and the SS looked particularly shiny
