Been some time on a update. Not much to address.
Skimmer is back 100%. Dosing vinegar via top off (trying 100mL in my 29g top off tank via aqualifter). Using seaklear for PO4 (took my PO4 from .10 to 0.03 in no time). Mag foxface is at home and getting fat. Aiptasia is out of control, but...

Picking up 2 more fish tomorrow (a wrasse being given to me and another angel). Yes btw, the ccb is in my qt/frag tank. No issues as I completely restarted it and tried coral frags 1st. Ccb started eating frozen mysis this past weekend too.

Haha, nobody would have known...

Will be following to see how the vinegar dosing goes for ya. In the tank that is, not on the salad.

Thanks. He's eating strong in the video. Now I just have to see how the regal takes to him. Probably gonna get dicey at 1st.

Two of my favorites. Might need to use an acclimation box for a few days.

Definitely with the emperor. Might use egg crate and make a divider. Gonna go slow with these 2 angels meeting. I've managed to pair 2 maroon clown pairs and mix a purple tang and scopas together without a issue, but my gut says this might not be good,so slow acclimation is what I'm thinking. Not to mention my tank boss, the black tang. He is still in charge and even though the mag foxface has 2 inches on him and is venomous, my black tang shows him who is in charge. Nothing bad, but his display of dominance is quickly noticed.
