125 - Took Forever But Here It is!

tbrown · Jan 28, 2023

I just fed the stupid tank and my doorbell rings. Skimmer is here! Good time to tear down the Curve 7 and install the @IOAOI Skimmer. Royal 120 it says on the box.

I'm not sure i've heard of those. I take it you have one?

I'll be stopping by the fish store today to see if the Foxface is still there and looking healthy! Also, I'm going to set the IOAOI skimmer up when I get home. The Curve 7 was spitting micro bubbles yesterday so I turned it off but didn't have time or energy to set the other one up.

You have gotten so many fish, I'm so jealous.

I did not get the Foxface. He was healthy, happy, his mouth was healing nicely, and the store refused to match online pricing and didn't care what the fish actually was, only what the vendor told them they were going to send. They had a Chocolate Chip Starfish they were selling as a Linkia Starfish as well and she was proud to point it out.

Well then everything happens for a reason. Did you decide on which tang to get?

Nah, just depends on what is available. I've got a few I'ma be watching for. I may order an Orange Shoulder, a Foxface, and a Lamarck's Angel from Liveaquaria.com if I can talk my wife into letting me get free shipping.

Might as well make them walk the plank. Nyaquatics is highly recommended by my buddy who's a fish head.

Multiple. I think it was for 4 fish. Not sure if it's less for 1 or the same.
