And what's the first thing I see? A lionfish build. LOL.

Well I am glad it was mine! You must have heard me silently wishing you were around to bombard you with questions lol. I’ve been managing by spending hours a day on your site, which is awesome and all, but no replacement for the real deal!

I'm surprised it's still working, as it needs an update!

I did notice that the menu doesn’t always show up when I am on my phone. I had assumed it was my phone. I just blindly pressed and read whatever page popped up because knowledge is power lol.

Now that I have finished jumping up and down over Renee’s return, let me introduce the boys!

Thor Lebowski

(I should mention those are micro bubbles and not ich on his fins.)

And T’Challa

Wow. Beautiful!

Thank you, I am glad you approve lol. Thor has started wolfing down frozen as of this week, but so far T’Challa has only eaten ghosties and mollies. I have only tried frozen with tongs though and I know I have a feeding stick still packed away in one of the boxes. I bought it years ago because it was on clearance and I knew I’d need it one day lol. I hope to do a mix of live and frozen so if he doesn’t convert it’s no biggie.

We have two frozen eaters now! I dropped some krill in this afternoon and T’Challa ran over and ate the first piece that hit the water before chubby Thor even knew it was in there lol. Funny that he wouldn’t touch it in the store, maybe he just feels more comfortable with some live rock and more leg (fin) room then he had at the store? Does anyone have any opinions on a golden dwarf eel as a tank mate for these guys? I should say these guys and probably a rhinopias because that is higher on my list then the eel.

ReefQueen · May 21, 2019

Am amazed at how smart these guys are. I used this cup exactly one time prior to today to defrost some krill for the boys,

as soon as T’Challa saw me with it today he came running over to the glass.

He has yet to come to the glass when he sees me, unlike Thor who is always begging lol,

so I am thinking that T’Challa already associates this cup with food.
I am having a micro bubble issue and have yet to figure out why, granted I have actually not really looked to see what could be causing the issue yet lol. I do know it is not the skimmer, so that crosses off the easy answer

Great tank.
Love those lions and names...

Lions are awesome. Wish there was a teeny one that maxed out around 2" and wouldn't devour all my little gobies lol

Thank you, I’m thinking this is going to be an MCU themed tank

I am right there with you! I love tiny gobies as well, and shrimp. That’s why the lions needed their own room lol. Omg a teeny tiny lion would be the best though!

Thank you! Honestly not something I want to do again anytime soon. I almost redid the stand and canopy for the 90 at the same time just to stain it a different color, but it has about 37 million coats of poly on it. I decided it would be easier to buy new furniture in the room it’s now in to match the tank, then it is to match the tank to the furniture we currently have haha.

Sorry I got home late due to bad weather last night.

I am starting to get some diatoms, gotta love the uglies! Also I really hate magfloats, they are so bulky and stick out too much, plus I’ve scratched a tank with them before, but for some reason the tunze care is too strong on this tank, even though I am pretty sure it is the same thickness as the 90
