Doing some doser maintenance and realized 3 of my 4 dailies are 100% empty. OOPS. No idea how long thats been... time to place a moonshiner order...

I have to mix 500 ml of AFR every couple of weeks and I manually dose when I do the ro top up, also manually so it get flushed in with a gallon and half of ro, I have figured out how to dose it now with a double fail safe in place but currently the doser is still brand new in the box, got it 4 or 5 years ago.

Used my day off to clean & organize the fish cart, had over half a trash bag of trash/expired materials/stuff I saved because "I might need it later" (and haven't touched it in a year) to discard.

Found my rebiotic within date and decided to start that up again.

Weird question : any one have advice to stop frozen food from getting extra crystallized?

Maybe put it towards the front of the freezer? If you put it way towards the back, it tends to get freezer burn.

It's in the door, can't get any more front than that

I put my frozen food inside a brown paper bag - no more freezer burn give it a shot

I put my frozen food in a freezer bag and take out the air , no freezer burn

I'll try this

Already doing this. I put the bag they come in with as much air squeezed out into an additional freezer bag. It's happened with every brand of food I've tried. It's not even freezer burn exactly... There's big ice crystals in the bag not even attached to the food itself. Just crystals I have to sift through to get to the food.

Freezer bag and place in water to vacuum seal it or a vacuum sealer.

Basically already doing that though... Maybe it's just the brands I've been using. Who knows.

Still waiting on liveaquaria so I can get out of my death credit.

Watching diver's den for *things*

Fish are all doing well, got to see foxy in camo last night sleeping. Precious.

Both acans (yeah I said it, less to type) are coloring back up really well. Such a relief that the file didn't completely kill them. The smaller one took more time to fluff back up but it's there now.

I have to say.... getting my hand tattoo back in August really broke me of the habit of sticking my hands in the water as often & it stuck. Tank really appreciates it.

I had some that got fiesty. But by giving my hands 2 weeks to fully heal without salt in them I got used to using alternate grabbing methods when possible. The couple times I've had to put my hand in completely since then I've seen attitude from some corals. Didn't really notice it before because I was in the tank all the time. Definitely notice the contrast now

 

[danieyella]

I've been really behaved and not spent money on corals in awhile... any live sales this weekend I should keep an eye on?

black Friday n Christmas are coming up... enjoy your mini vacation...

After your last experience with a foxface, I'm glad you got another!
My opinion is that there may be nothing cuter than a tiny foxface like yours in the entire marine realm! ...unless it was a baby Fiji bicolor foxface in my personal opinion.

P.S. Has anyone heard of successful accounts of captive-breeding foxfaces? I'm curious, because I read in a reference book that rabbitfish can be good candidates for captive breeding, but have also read a lot about foxfaces in specific being difficult to impossible to breed in captivity, likely due to pelagic spawning?

I know they’re working on some of the other rabbitshish. And I believe one species of rabbits is already available as a captive bred option
