Well, I have 3 nems to rescue. 2 mags and a haddoni. They are in horrible shape 2 month old tank, 2 month old person In the hobby and they thought they could throw them in. I feel so sorry for nems. (I was very nice to the person and their name will never get dropped. We all live and learn)

But I have a new bottle of cipro, 50 gallons of water heating up, and hope. I am glad I have such a large water storage tank. The mags are 12-16” when inflated and the haddoni is 14-16”. Gonna have to do a large tank for them. 10 gal won’t cut it.

The last 2 nems are in a QT tank now for observation and about ready get moved to the 180.

If these 3 make it, I will have a lot of nems. Well, I already do lol. Guess the frag tank may become a nem raceway tank before it is over with.

Thanks for taking care of them and helping them recover! Hopefully u help them and the previous owners. Live and learn. Just like the past owner of these frog spawn

I told them when they have coralline growing and parameters are stable they can have one of rbta nems to start. Mags and haddonis need super stable tanks and a lot of knowledge to keep healthy.

My RBTAs on the other hand can be thrown through a power head, dropped in about anything and live lol. The momma (or whatever lol) is over 10 years old and drops clones left and right.

Everyone, meet Fiona! She came yesterday, from @NY_Caveman. I love her so much!

Fiona is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Well my first tank uh oh happened with my tank. Dog hit my float switch and ato I was using earlier to fill up containers. Needless to say 2-3g of ro ended up on my floor. Using hairdryer and Fans to dry the stand out

brett_schn · Oct 8, 2020

If you own a reef tank please invest in stealing ur wife/girlfriend or moms blow dryer. Helps dry up water that is absorbed by wood.
Thank god I have crappy wood flooring that my mom has been trying to replace for years

It would be the first time a nem has split after going into a new tank. I have had a ton do it.

Beautiful nem! Of course, yours is splitting right away whereas my nem won't split and it's already 12" wide lol

We will blame @NY_Caveman . Apparently he's trained them to split.

New lights installed. It doesn't look like it made a difference. The 55 looks very different

Eagle_Steve · Oct 8, 2020

Well. The mags look salvageable. The haddoni, not so much. I have never seen a haddoni this bad. I have them in a 33 gallon with 30 gallons of water, but may move the haddoni to a 10 gallon by itself. If it goes south, don’t want to to foul the tank and kill the others.

So sad.
