Hello,
Sooo sorry for no posts or pics, I was just overwhelmed with work and I kinda just shut down. Now they my brain is semi back and intact I can come back to the world of my dearest friends.
Well some updates, my golden goby is kinda kicking my heiney. I am starting to move corals up off the sand bed lol. I found one of my reverse prisms the back side was buried in sand and died. So saved the rest but up he went. Same with one of my scolys he went just s tad higher. I noticed two others were pretty upset because they had sand on them. So cleaned them off moved one. The others don’t seem to be as sensitive, but noticed some of the edges died off because buried in sand. For one goby he is one active little guy. Plus he won’t eat normal food that I feed, that’s a plus he stays at the bottom of the tank. But starting to wonder if he will run out of food in the size tank I have.
I also moved my tricolored sps higher up to test it. It was at the same level as my Maximus clam and he loves the light. But maybe sps wants some more so we will see what happens. Started to feed my corals every other day which sps wise seems to be really helping. Some softies and lps as well and others not so much. If I can find away to move my bloody leather to the sand bed I’m all up for it
@Brew12 #reefsquad. I can’t cut it because of the toxins but it’s kinda of a supporting rock lol. I can attach pics as to which one needs to be trimmed big time and or moved.
I also have a huge blue and green hammer like the size of a small soft ball that was really high up. Was told it needed massive light and others said low to middle light. So umm which is it lol. I moved it down because yes it’s growing like a weed and open but was losing the dark green and bright blue so I’m thinking too much light. Also tricolored sps again was told medium light but seems to be better with higher light any suggestions. Pic posted of that as well. It’s nkt encrusted but I noticed some very slow tissue loss on the very bottom. May take some coral super glue around the button to prevent that from spreading. Also should be the last pic but the coral I’m speaking about if you look where my naso tang is point his mouth he is right at it

As far as other items go, realized my filter pads get nasty in a week, and filter socks about two days. A thing I can add to slow that down like where the skimmer is. My lfs has three micro fibers pads before the skimmer and after the skimmer. Definitely these pads, socks and goby is helping to keep the tank clean and the cyano is all but history.
However the reddish purple stuff that I can blow off with my turkey thingy I’m assuming is not good stuff but cyano correct. Anyway I worked on the tank tonight I cleaned the filter pads. As I vomited in my sink from the smell. Always cleaning the collection cup is high on my list lol. But can’t make it to the lfs till probably Tuesday for new pads. So I rinsed them out but maybe washing them in the washer is better. Nope I can’t have my clothes smell like my fish tank. So unladylike, lol but filter socks I do so what’s the difference, we’ll these pads are kinda slimy gross. The socks just look dirty and I can sanitize the washer after. But heard washing these pads ruins them. So they get the sink and the high powered sprayer to get the nasties out.
So greatful for any assistance, simple because as much as I love doing this on my own, I just don’t have the time do to work. I finally had to tell them 100 hour weeks ends this pay period.
Also to keep the true me of going off topic lol here are some of my fav pictures of my favorite music artist (Natalie Merchant 10,000 maniacs
genius mind
, curious as to how long I should wait before I find my other clown a partner. He has been rather aggressive and my purple tang sorta hurled him across the tank. In light of this he is not harmed or oozing anything. But curious as to if I can mix clowns up a bit or should stay the same. I know they have to be smaller but he is the smallest fish now. There really is no fighting in my tank, because the naso tang and Lt tang usually keep things peaceful. But concerned if I put in even a smaller clown others may try and pick on him.
