Yes sir.
She hid in the bigger tank today, she hasn't been exposed to an aquarium light in a month now.
I found her hiding behind the overflow in the dark lol.
I pulled the overflow and and put it back in quick that got her to come out for a few minutes and eat then she went back to hide for the night.
I'm sure she'll be out on her own in the next day or two, just needs to adjust to the bright tank compared to just daylight and a ceiling light on.

I'm also switching salt again.
I switched to Tropic Marin Pro last summer.
Now switching to the Tropic Marin Classic.
I want to run 9 to 9.5 alk and that salt does exactly that while only being 10 to 15 ppm less in calc. compared to the Pro.
Seems easier to me to just use that salt instead of spiking my current pro with soda ash every time I make SW.
Might as well use the salt with the params I want and then start dosing from there when it becomes necessary down the road some day.

Sad news. No sign of the pipefish this morning. I had been warned that she wouldn't be with us long. Nothing we did wrong, just to expect it.

I’m sorry to read this.

I’m sorry to read this.

Me too. She was full grown when we got her. I knew what to expect. I do miss her water ballet.

I'm struggling at the moment. I hope y'all will give me some time to catch up. Friday and Saturday were incredibly stressful for me personally. In addition to my mom's situation, my husband is sick. I'd rather not go into detail, but the appointment on Friday that was supposed to be just for a referral, and something else was discovered. A growth on his thyroid as well as his pituitary gland. To top it off, Hippie kid might need surgery or braces for his feet. Lastly, the hurtful thread. I've had some restless nights and long days. Forgive the ramble. XXOO

I'm so sorry Katrina, I'm just now seeing this.

Makes the issues I am facing seem very minor in comparison. Let me know if I can do anything to help!

The plates are recovering. The clown decided they needed to go. Amazing how much damage she did in one day. I saw her. I know she was on a mission.

I think I'm most excited to get the new tank so I can have coral specific islands. I'm sick of frags in the sand.
