Hey everyone! Finally bought a tripod to get good clips of the tank. Here’s a video update on things:
After a bit over a year, I’m finally seeing coralline take over the rock work and it’s a beautiful deep violet just as I’d hoped. I can’t wait for
all of the rocks to get completely covered up!
I noticed the fish breathing heavy a few days ago and got nervous so I started adding selcon to the brine shrimp, put the UV light back in there, and added some poly lab reef medic — everyone’s looking good.
Torch mountain is done! There is a little spot on the rock work in case I want to add an additional torch in the future though lol always gotta have some space.
Coral-wise I’m about done for the tank. I’m thinking of adding some scolys in front of the RFA rock but my female clown wouldn’t have it, so I may hold off until she decides to host elsewhere. I also like the look of a nice, blank sand bed so who knows. That style may not be “in” nowadays but I love the simple look.
I’m very excited because my zoas are finally getting adjusted and are growing in nicely. I’ve got a torch or two that are splitting as well. All in all, everything looks good and is happy/healthy. I can’t wait until the zoas completely cover the rock.
Also, major thanks for all the love for my snowflake eel!! We used to own a snake, but got rid of it and having an eel has filled the void in my heart lol I’ll have to post a video of feeding time for you all. Id wish he’d let me pet him, but he’s very curious as to what fingers are so maybe in the future. I have heard of some that get aggressive as they gets older so we’ll see. Just a matter of being careful. I have shared clips with my coworkers/friends and it’s been a really great opportunity to educate others on eels.
In other news, my melanarus wrasse has finally began the transition to male! & she/he is still as beautiful as ever.
Finally pulled the trigger and made a “dream” purchase. It’s not an expensive addition, just one I was a bit nervous about so it doesn’t disrupt the balance in the tank. But I could not be happier to have this guy!
