Is that a nem? Should heal fine if it is.

Yup that's Pinky the carpet nem. It's almost pulled itself out of the shroud...I'll post a vid soon.

Love the exquisite Jim, be careful adding him with that mystery.

Hey Brett...that sounds like first hand experience. Funny thing is I've had really good luck with the mystery, radiant, & melanarus pair all getting along. Although, the McCoskers have disappeared. I'm concerned about adding smaller fairy wrasses and having them endure a similar fate.

 

[Aquaph8]

Your Halichoeres wrasses are gonna hold their own a little better. It's common for fairies and flashers not to mix well with Mystery wrasses, your concern is well warranted IMO.

Thanks for sharing. I hope he comes around. Have you considered getting a pair? I had a friend that got a pair and they bred like crazy. He had cuttles for years this way.

Funny you mentioned that, Cuttles stares at his reflection all the time. The guy I got him from was going to give me a pair, but his tank crashed before I could get them.
them. Did your friend have a S. Bendesis ?

I don't know the scientific name. He called them dwarf cuttles.

I added a Hanna dual stag TDS meter (so I don't have to break out the TDs pen). I have it setup where I get TDS reading post Kold Sterile Filters and post Kati/Ani resins. The KSF need changing out as I was getting a reading of 78 ppm, but after Kati Ani I get a reading of 1 ppm. Not bad eh ?

After reading a book Jake Adams recommended on RB named Practical Coral Farming by Miguel Tolosa, I decided to give vodka dosing a shot (no pun intended). I'm happy to report I'm getting 0 ppm Nitrates and 0.25 ppm or less Phosphates. I bought the Kirkland brand vodka (as you tell by the pic) for under 20 bucks. I still have plenty left after dosing 6ml a day in main display and 2 ml in the frag tank.

After reading some horror stories of over flowing waste water in homes, I picked up a water sensor for when I make up water. I can't put a auto top off since the Kati/Ani can't handle back pressure. Well worth the 15 bucks.
