One more week, then the Kole and Gramma go into the DT
The Kole will have been in QT for 12 weeks, and the Gramma for 14
I've let the Mag drop to normal levels so there's lots of algae for the Kole to pick at

I'm happy to report that, besides the loss of the purple firefish in QT, I've only lost one other critter ( snails don't count ) ...
I had a bright red digi frag, but it faded away to a skeleton

Growth is good and I'm keeping records on Alk and Ca usage. I plan on manually dosing daily from a weekly pre-mix, and it looks like I'll need about 2Tbsp of each per week - for now

Here's a long overdue FTS
6 fish, and only one fully visible ... Can't wait to get the Kole in there, and some Wrasses



It looks like someone's been busy ... I suspect the Ceriths

Go bigger !!
If we had a ground floor livingroom, I'd probably have setup something big enough for large tangs

Things are looking up already
The Kole is all over the tank, zooming through all the swim-throughs and eating very well
Better yet, Bella came out and ate lots of Cyclopeeze, even with the other fish around

Thanks both of you

Fish went into the DT yesterday and the Kole is starting to explore the whole tank. It's still name-less so I hope we'll see some unique characteristics soon

Bella the Gramma is still a bit shy, and needs to fatten up some. She was hiding in the DT rockwork from the Kole and not eating much. She's toying with NLS pellets and frozen, but only eating small bits, so I'll try some Cyclopeeze tonight as she liked that in the QT
I didn't want to leave her in the QT any longer to get her eating again as she's taken to hiding too much and I hope having other fish around will get her out more often
She's exploring a bit so fingers crossed she makes it

I've let the algae go a bit for tang food, so you'll see some fuzzies ...

No fish spots, just dirty glass
