Hello! I would like a pellet or 50



He blends into the back overflow and my camera wouldn't pick him up

R.i.p
He was swimming around fine , got swollen cloudy eye two days ago .
I treated it for bacterial infection last night and he died this morning

When I first got him , he was so skinny
6 months he refused food , eventually he took frozen
My first fish , I was so nervous moving him over to the new tank

Sadly I lost my cowfish in the disaster but I thank everyone who helped me out and did there best !

8 snails and 2 different coloured tuxedo urchins .

Today I purchased two baby Hawaiian snowflake eels<3

Meet George and Sally

I got 80lbs of sand on the way thanks to concepts ordering me some.
Pick up tomorrow hopefully , then give a day or two to settle and picking up my two baby snowflakes !! And my other fish from concepts and frags

Way to excited to have my tank running again ..
Going to miss my cow so on the hunt for a baby cowfish

I added a long tenticle purple anemone today
( kinda early but if I keep things well he should do fine )

My urchins are motoring around I love them !

Didn't you take your tank down and thoroughly clean it? So basically your starting over from scratch and are you not going to let it cycle? Sorry if I missed something as to why I'm asking.

The rock had been removed and placed in water for a week .
I drained the tank , cleaned it and refilled , added the live rock 4 weeks ago. And ran harsh carbon .
Cycle is over , adding sand bed today ! Then qt my fish for two weeks in tank transfer so I get rid of the ich I had previously .

Water tested good , urchins doing well , left over corals on rocks that made it are growing .


On a good note , no more pest anomones and I can get rid of the ich easy
