What's ure leopard secret, I have one ready to go in a 10 gallon once she starts eating. She don't wanna eat though

I really like how the back wall came out! Really nice instead of a regular black background

Thanks. Sitting in front of the tank sorta half makes you forget it's a tank. I'm really glad that I went ahead with doing it.

I just asked Denny if she was eating at the store. She was eating mysis which was good enough for me. I'm sure she'll come around the NLS soon enough.

Maybe I'll try chopping up some mysis then. She's not going for the frozen cyclops which I thought would be more up her alley. Thanks man

Some reason I do t think asking Denny questions is. The answer :)

Are you going to place some corals on the back wall of the tank.
The arch looking great.

wow buddy corals are looking very healthy im also seeing some serious growth from them , some of the pieces look familiar hehehe:P


glad the little lady is doing good , if shes anything like my large leopard she will go for pellets when shes bigger size.

looks good man:)

thanks. yeah there's not a ton of coral in the tank yet but i've got a few on the back wall:

Thanks bro. Yeah plenty of Denny stuff in here =) the green/purple acans are my fav and they barely had any colour when I scored them from you. everyone that comes over loves your dragon soul favia... will be bad ass once it gets big!

Update!

Cool Blenny Bro.

Well I hate to update without pictures but I hate ignoring your request even more so here we go with a quick rundown lol.

I've gotten the hair algae completely under control now. I purchased a couple things that helped me out:

- Gravel suction attachment for my siphon. Getting a ton of poop out now during my water changes.
- Yellow tang who decimated my algae in a week and does a great job of keeping it in check
- diamond watchman goby that actually sifts my sand. Tank was cloudy for days as he worked his magic. No tank should be without one. My yellow watchman is such a slacker!

Other new fish I've added:

- squarespot anthias pair
- orangeback wrasse

With the new additions my skimmer is finally picking up the pace. I'm still skimming fairly wet but the colour is darker and I'm draining the cup daily out of necessity.

As far as equipment and DIY goes I replaced my 10g water change tank with a larger tank so I can perform larger changes if I want and also not have water sloshing over the edges of the tiny 10g. I've got my parts ready to build my mesh top as well and I'm looking forward to ditching the 3M sticky hooks that are currently holding the screen in place.

I'm adding the odd coral here and there but for the most part I'm just letting things stabilize. Strangely my coraline has not yet taken off but until recently hair algae occupied most spaces on the rocks.
