Default Nice to see you back

I have enjoyed this thread. Lost it and found it again today ! Two things come to mind.

"you've come a long way baby"
"if you didn't have bad luck you wouldn't have any luck at all"

All the best to your family and your new family of fishes.

I only have one concern that has already been covered I think. Keep those tests going for water quality. That is already a high bio load. I too love your fish choices. To see fish school in a tank must be really a joy.

Well I thought I should update my tanks current situation
I'm now at the Cyano stage.... I'm waiting for some sodium silicate and some scarlet hermits (can't get them right now... still on waiting list for a few weeks)

FTS


Some other nasties on a free coral, I'm still happy I got the coral and I gave them a drink... I heard they like lemonade... So far it looks like they liked it so much they thought they would go to the store and buy some more... I haven't seen them since

Personally, I wouldn't mess with aptasia. I'd pull the coral out. It's not worth it IMO.

The project is really coming along. It was a little touch and go for a while with your pH problems and the LED episode. I'm glad you stuck it out. I'm still enjoying the thread.

They are gone... for now
I'll be watching it closer for a week or so. If I see anything I'll get a few peppermint shrimp.

I agree. You're Aiptasia-free now and keep it that way or you'll regret it later.

aptasia isn't bad, just inject them with a kalk slurry while you don't have many.

They hitchhiked in on a free coral, being a generous host I fed them some lemonade and they haven't been seen since... I hope that clears up the original post.
