Note to self: don't play in fuges! Monsters didn't go bump in the dark, they bit!!

Yep,lol!! Brett, you have a idea what might have done it (pods, bristle worms, etc)?

Im 90% sure it was bristle worms IME. I have a lot of them in my tank and my skin reacts terrible to them. They take like two weeks to heal and are really similar to a really itchy mosquito bite.

Dang Brad that sucks! Did you see I got a big boy tank now?

Lol, we've got mosquitos here that'll carry you off and drop you off with fire ants that you can saddle up!! I'd have to agree on the bristle worms. Thanks Brett.

Yes sir!! I'm really digging the fact your in the 180+ club! Any thoughts on lighting? And now you got plenty room for some BIG clams!

LOL yeah! It came with a 3 x 250w MH setup that I'm gonna try and see how I like first and then if not I'll probably see how my 4' 6 bulb T5 lights it.

What all do you have? I have the Blonde Naso, Red Sea Sailfin, Flame Fin, Blue Hippo, and a Yellow but I'm getting rid of it. I'm doing my tank transfer today so I may be adding more Tang's in the near future.

1 vlamingi (Hoover), 1 black longnose tang (scarface), 1 blond naso (might be going to another home in Feb), 1 ccb (try to catch him. Trading him for a colony of frogspawn), 2 picasso clowns, 1 hovens wrasse (trying to catch as well), 1 blue jaw trigger (Sgt), 1 foxface (spot), and my main guy, Red sea regal angel. I'm looking at adding a chocolate tang and at least a flame wrasse pair. When I 1st put the 240 up, I said it was plenty, but now I wish I had room for 1 each of goldflake and emperor angels.

Melanurus wrasse found a new home on Thursday, so now I'm wrasseless. Looks like it's time to find a flame pair or trio!!

Been watching my 2 part levels in the jugs of solution. My brs dosers have been catching air bubbles in the lines, so inconsistent dosing = unhappy sps. Shrooms are taking off though and my foxface seems to enjoy pulsing xenia (which I don't mind).
