It's Just a Tank

They something called a fu Manchu at one of my lfs's. That was cool lookin too.

I believe it is a flying gurnard, are cool ,but get too big !!...

Whatever a bighead sea robin is. 16" is too big none tge less.

Sculpin look similar and some are small enough to be kept in a 50g

I will look into these

think there were a couple eel experts that were helping you when you first got Eli. I would definitely reach out to them for advice as well Good luck! I'll be rooting for you.

The dosage for feeding is the hard part. I would need to remove her and weight her. She might hate me after that and reguse to eat out of spite

Prazi makes her vomit. So, dosing the water column after i figure out if i should feed her metro first. I'll be talking to jay later. Maybe...

I thought the fu Manchu was a mustache/beard combo.

A Fu Manchu from Kathmandu!

Im going with prazi first. 3 rounds. Now to figure out if 7 days apart or 3.... if nothing clears up. Metro feeding.

Edit: i might try to get her to eat some live mollies. The fact her food is chopped clam/shrimp and other mix... this might be why...

Prazi first, metro once she eats again. Ramping the prazi up atm.

One fush on my list now off my list.

Cliwn tang is not too upset.. but letting him know whos in charge... my blenny is an wrassehole.. Eli gave him a sniff... she knows.

Rule number 1. DO NOT flash the clown tang. You will get your wrasse kicked.
I dont think there's any other in tank rules...

Everyone is now getting along fine. Now that the wrasse stopped flashing the clown tang. I wish I got a picture of that. That clown is bold in color "I'm prettier". Flipping fish.

Fun pics.




3 fish trying to figure out what i was doing.

So, after adding the wrasse... Life is weird and so are aquariums.

Phosphates are now around .02-.05, nitrates..... 2... That's right 0-2 from 25.... It used to be "well I can't figure out where I am on the phosphate chart,,, so ??? Nitrates are 25, we're good." Now I see some phosphates and nitrates bottom out with a 10ml dosing of neostuff... I forgot the name already


And now to battle my next coral splurge.... Husband wont be happy if I purchase more crud.. But, I could get the other wrasse at the petstore, he was in good health. The issue is, carpenter wrasse are not as aggressive as solar wrasses. And the solar I got has an fbomb attitude only outmatched by a clown tang... That has to tell you something

There is a sale on a pectinia atm, 2-3" for 100... I asked for wyswyg picture so I can see if it's alcicronis or something else. The other issue would be, what else would I want to buy from them? Or just not worry and pay the shipping price.
My internet keeps going down. Probably a sign saying "stop buying stuff, dummy"

TL;DR
Not worth reading anyhow.

I'm dosing nitrates, so neonitro... I refuse to google this. Or walk to my fridge as I've been outside most of the day, just got done making cinnamon rolls (homemade) and I need to make dinner soon...

So, neonitro it is!

A couple more fish, I think my issues will be solved. A matter of what ones now. I dud get the wrasse for the attitude. Thus makes new additions that much more difficult. Yup... I'm a

I forgot to mention, the lfs has 2 lemon peel angelfish. 1 of them is in poor health, the other is outstanding in health. Sadly, I love my lps or it would have went home with me.

Lemon peels seem to have a bad rep right now with not wanting to eat. Or, they always have and I haven't payed attention.

Very beautiful angel.

I want a Mimic Lemon Peel Tang. I shouldn't have showed my wife that one and just bought it a couple of months ago. I regret my self control.
