Dsnakes 125g Mixed Reef

Well...most are doing well. The little skinny FoxFace is sort of coasting around. He started out eating well and now he won’t. He just cruises past the algae or meaty food. The more I watch, I’m not sure about him. You can see he is paper thin.

Yikes. Have u tried algae wafers? Or hikari nori pellets?

I have some algae wafers I could try. I would have thought the nori sheet would be most enticing.

I’ll check in the morning. It’s a big pack that’s got a garlic smell to it. I think it has some stuff added to it.

Nice scopas as well, love mine.
My baby one was that thin, imo it needs macro algae and gha, not cheato.

My little Scopas came thin as well but now has a pot belly. He eats extremely well. Will have. A GHA buffet in another week or 2!

It’s the FoxFace I’m having trouble with. He used to peck at food a bit but now he won’t.

You can do it

We won’t tell anyone ;Locktopic

Yeh, I meant the fox face, can you add some gha?

 

[Dsnakes]

Yes I could. I’ll grab a couple small rocks covered in it to give a shot. Thanks for the idea.

 

[Fudsey]

My Nori eaters wouldn't touch the stuff with garlic...

Deltec 1000ix in place hopefully it settles in to start skimming.

I’ve got an order of more Gorgonians coming in on Wednesday. I’ve also picked up some neon green toadstool, sinularia, and cabbage leather frags from a local reefer. Hopefully I can grow softies better than SPS

I am having a lot of trouble not buying coral/fish lately. I keep adding up shopping carts full. I got to thinking...what if every time I went to checkout with a bunch of coral, instead I bought a piece for a larger tank- Powerhead, return pump, light, skimmer, or such.

I’ve made a list/budget today of all required items to upgrade to a larger system.

Basically a little longer, knock most of the wall out so it’s viewable from 3 sides. Wishful thinking is 86” x 36” x 30”.

I think I could have all purchases other than the tank within a year. Then I would just need the tank and sump which would be purchased last when I am ready to make the move.


Can you tell I was off work today? Get some wild ideas sitting around the house

FoxFace sleeping in the yellow finger gorg. Kind of hard to see.

Longnose Hawkfish. The yellow finger is a popular hangout!

Big Starry Blenny

So....PLEASE don’t let me regret this... I added the new female Watanabei Angelfish straight to the display ;Nailbiting

I’ll get a pic once she settles in and quits hiding. I almost immediately regretted it. Then I thought about the fact that I’m not using a QT for inverts or coral, it’s not much more of a risk. Coming from @Pieces of the Ocean I do feel better with the choice. The Black Leopard Clowns I received from them are still doing amazing!
