July 21st, 2022: I just bought a Reef2Reef supporting membership just so I could put “An afishionado!” as my header lol!! And other reasons like the unlimited editing but mainly that. I just started an Instagram @an_afishionado too! :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: If anyone else has an Instagram page dedicated to your tank let’s follow and support each other. And my shrimp tripled in size the last few months I got him when he was a teeny tiny baby. This photo doesn’t show his true size.

July 26th, 2022: Happy 1 month Cookie! I’m very happy to report it’s officially been a month since I got my starfish. I’ve been doing my very best with him and while I know he’s sometimes unhappy with me when he curls after a water change despite matching the water temp and salinity perfectly he’s been eating very well, loves to climb all over the tank, and reacts to stimuli. I was so scared he was going to melt away on me within days and I’m still hoping/praying he doesn’t. I do notice his little spikes have changed since I got him but I took a trip to the fish store and noticed a little bit of the same thing leading me to believe he’s fine. It’s almost looks like if you took a file and made them less round/filed them down none of them have fallen off though or are missing it’s just some are more uneven now as compared to when I got him. I do wonder if they can grow arms back can they grow their spikes back?

I did. An rose bubble tip anemone that sadly got stuck to my powerhead and died lesson learned, a GSP, alveropora, and some green cloves! I’ll get some good photos when they open.

Keep in mind that anemones need a more mature tank. The tank was m ost likely too new for it. Also, I haven't seen any numbers/parameters posted. Would be helpful to viewers to know how your tank is doing in that regard.

I'd wait several more months at least with all your tank issues. And be sure you have guards for your powerhead. I think you could use another powerhead--one each side and more surface agitation.

where did you post them.

It's not better if no3 is 30 and po4 is .8 Do not try a nem until your tank has been stable for at least 3-4 months with nothing going wrong. Also, for a nem and your corals, what is your alk/mg/ca

I said better from the bloom and low oxygen levels. My nutrients bottomed out but are in check now as the bacterial bloom is gone.
 
January 16th, 2023: I haven’t really been posting in this thread as I’m more focused on my current lobster tank. But here is the first full tank shot of 2023!:) Nothing major to report but I did get some new corals and a fleece roller for Christmas…which I’m loving!
