It is actually!! You live in KY?

Never mind, I remember from earlier in the journal you said you were from Lexington, lol.

That store is kind of run down IMO. The birds, reptiles, and dogs don’t seem that well taken care of.

Than you got a very good deal!

morning.

We can't win them all. I may need to sump the tang. Argh.... I may need to do a tear down. no tang traps and this one doesn't like to graze on nori sheets yet. So.....

 

[James_O]

Can’t view the video for some reason, probably my wife. Tang being a jerk?

 

[Goaway]

You know what, here's the mirror trick. It worked on my midas blenny. The tang and cbb don't like the mirror either. We'll see at lunch how it goes.

ONLY over food. If the wrasse comes out and snoops around, no worries. The moment he goes in for a bite, tang goes in like a torpedo.

Edit: I can and should try the nori clip. I'll see if that helps.

It’s halfway up the tank. Should I move the rack even higher? Or bump the lights up? (The noopysche light would really be helpful now… hope it ships out soon)

Ah geez. My old eyes are failing me. I looked at the pic and thought it was on the sand bed. Duh! Now I see it’s on a rack.
what kind of flow is it getting in that spot? Can you see the polyps waving around?

The polyps aren’t actually extended that well:

As you can see, tons of new growth in the skeleton, but not a whole lot of polyp extension. :/

 

[James_O]

I would say medium?

 

[elorablue]

Hmmm, that’s interesting. So you’re seeing new growth but it doesn’t look happy. Weird. How long has it been in that spot on the rack?

 

[fltohi]

Yup! I’m in lex. Don’t support the place overpriced coral and puppy mill puppies

The puppies do look very sad. Very very small enclosures.

The coral is also overpriced, but they do occasionally have some nice fish.

Yes, it’s very weird. Hm, I would say around 2 weeks now?

Leave it there for another week and see if there’s any changes, then re-evaluate

 

[James_O]

My tank is weird, we shall see. ;Muted;Facepalm

 

[James_O]

Made the executive decision to move the Kenya tree. Even though it was extending more, it was still wayyy to bent over. I moved it over to the right more, where there is less flow.

Anyway, everything just ate, so that’s why they look unhappy, lol. BTA

Duncan chonky as ever:

(tried to get a side shot but… coralline )
