And using alot of epoxy can drive your skimmer crazy for a few days....just keep that in mind...

Most of these are survivors from the Emperor I had in my 180. They spent some time in my JBJ recovering and have now been in my 74 for a week.

Got an awesome deal on some Duncan polyps. $40 for a 12 head frag at AC. Also picked up an incredible looking leopard wrasse.

Awesome fish!

Nice! Have you tried feeding her yet?

They said she was eating mysis at AC. She buried herself again around noon, so she wasn't out for supper. When she was out earlier she picked at the rock and glass.

Best of luck. My absolute favorite fish. I tried one and it never came out.

palvyre · Mar 19, 2014

Mine is coming out for about half a day and was eating frozen mysis today.

palvyre · Mar 19, 2014

This skimmer is rocking too. Broke in and removing lots of gunk.

schooleyosis · Mar 19, 2014

Glad to hear that it's eating.

palvyre · Mar 20, 2014

Fed this morning since I am working from home. She was actively feeding on mysis.

Looks sweet!

Congratz on the leopard wrasse!

Being very careful with feeding on this build. Feeding by syringe like I did on my JBJ 30. I am convinced pretty much all my problems in my 180 came down to major over feeding. Maybe lots of low flow areas as well. On this build I bought lower gph pumps, more of them and placed at different elevations to eliminate all the dead spots.

Can you elaborate on feeding with a syringe and why its beneficial?

Thanks!
