Pichurs!!

So, apparently my clownfish (in a separate 15g tank) need more rock in their diet.




They've been cleaning the rocks around the nem all day today. Guess later in the evening they'll spawn again.

It's been a while since they last spawned - almost 3 weeks, but from what I gather I should have expected anywhere from 9 - 20 days, so I guess it's right in between.

The last few days I was thinking that the female is getting rather, um, plump. The second pic you can clearly see how big her belly has become. maybe it's going to be a big nest.





EDIT: so while I was typing this up, I noticed they were swimming around differently. Sure enough, they had started to spawn.







I have some stuff to raise the fry - so I just need to start up a phyto culture and hatch out some rots for them.

I also took some pictures of the main tank. I bought a Potter's angel and QT'd it for 7 weeks (the last week was since I was busy). I was worried it might not get along with the sixline and that it would nip at corals/clam. The Potter's and Sixline are getting along nicely, and no corals are being nipped. I really like the colouration of the Potters - the orange, blue and grey broken stripes are purdy.





Nice orange and purple and blue on the sixline too:


Blue cespitularia has been growing nicely - in the last few weeks, it's spread out a bit, and looking great

Top half of the tank's SPS:


SPS is looking a lot better now that the dosing is back in line - it got out of whack for a bit since I thought I adjusted my vodka dose down to 1 ml a day, but I had instead accidentally reduced my dosing of Ca buffer by 1 ml per dose (8 ml/day total) or to half the original dose. Things are starting to grow again - the setosa is starting to grow too!

Obligatory FTS:
