Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

Decorator. He murdered a Holy Grail. I do actually like him. It's a love/hate relationship.

Whenever anybody says "it's a give and take relationship" my goto response is "Yeah, ___ gives you Shhh and you take it". Another missed opportunity :'(

There are a few reef safe/display safe meds. Namely Seachem stuff.

Food matters -- I will first say the #1 way to keep fish healthy is feed them a LARGE variety of foods. Mysis, Spiralina Brine, Clam, Oyster, Eggs (roe), etc etc etc.

Second -- food additives are a huge deal. My #1 first recommendation is Selcon, then Selco Boost, then AquaForest FishV (straight vitamins). Mix this with the food, allow it to marinate over night.

Meds -- Seachem makes a bunch of meds that bind with food. Focus binds with food, then they have Kanaplex, Metroplex, and a bunch of other plexes.

For bumps and scrapes -- a good food source is all you need. One of my favorite things to add into food is greens. The easy way to do this is buy brine that has been fed spirulina (greens). Many people make it, from V2O, to Hikari, to Cobalt.

14? Dang, your fish eats better than I do. Been on a top ramen diet since I started this hobby.

@Katrina71 may you love your aquatic pets .

@hdsoftail1065 I'm lucky if I eat 14 different foods in a couple of weeks .

The soup really isn't that bad, every now and then I get a bonus and find what resembles a pea. So I guess it isn't as bad as I thought and technically that means I still get my greens.

I said THEY do.

Andrew's Goby is apparently feeling much better. She swam to the front and did her usual hateful posture. She even spit sand!

The nem was trying to walk over a shroom and zoa colony. He moved those. Now it's moving toward his encrusted sps.

I wonder what’s making the nem so restless.

Right. Light and flow should be working in Andrew’s tank.

 

[Katrina71]

I think it heard the penthouse is nice

 

[Fudsey]

Too much flow?

 

[Katrina71]

Too much flow?

I doubt it. Actually he's moving toward flow. I think that's what he's after. That's the direction he's going. Plus more light. He's walking to the area I would have guessed him to like.

 

[Katrina71]

Right now he has stayed in a nook in the rock and only moved about and inch in about 48 hours.

I think Andrew's decorator may have molted. He told me his crab was dead. He said the shell was really light and looked split down the middle. He saw no eyes. He flushed it before I saw it. What do you guys think?

 

[Scurvy]

Sounds like a molt.

 

[Katrina71]

I think so too. It freaked him out. Lol. He is also is missing a large chunk of yellow sponge. I'm betting he'll emerge bigger and in a new outfit.

 

[sfin52]

Molt I have tossed a couple of class thought they were dead when they were just molting

 

[Katrina71]

Funny, we were just discussing me killing mine...here...take my crab...
