Myka's 90 gallon build & 3 province move (Pics Feb 6)

[Myka]

I just fed the tank, and blew some of the frozen food water into the tank first to get the smell in there (garlic too), then target fed the Jawfish with a turkey baster. Two of them ate hungrily. One is looking stressed still (he has a sucky burrow too...bad location, hardly has a little hole at all), and he did not eat. The fourth one is still MIA.

The new Bangaii ate, but the True Perc didn't eat yet. He is also looking stressed. I'm thinking he may break out with a disease in the next couple days here...good thing he is in the QT. He has a big fat belly though, so I'm not worried about him starving at this point.

The little buggers do stress very easily. If you are going to head a little more into the SPS side using some Zoevit products, you may want to also try the Extra in rotation with your CV. I got some good results with it.

The whole thread? Cool. Thanks for your comments too. I am fairly confident I made the right decision to not QT the Jawfish. I used Pohl's Xtra for a very short time, when my little bottle ran out. It is one I do plan to use again, same with Sponge Power which I used for several months - it recently ran out though. I am just starting up one additive at a time, and watching the tank. The ones I plan to try in the next few months are: Spur2 (already have it, might do first dose tonight), Amino Acid Concentrate, an maybe Stylo-Pocci Glow.

I know you don't like it too blue so 16K might be more to your liking.

Hey Mark! So...how are those SPS frags doing anyway??? Where do you buy the PlusRite bulbs? As you know, I have never liked 20K lighting, but I do like these bulbs - I think I'm leaning towards a bluer spectrum lately. *gasp* In combo with my three T5s (two blues and a Fiji Purple) the tank is definitely blue, but not too bad. I think if I traded out one of the blues for another Fiji Purple it just might be perfect.

I don't know what's going on Mark! There are SPS in my tank again, and the lights are blue!!
