Cyano appears to be calming down
Forgot to do a PO4 test tonight before the weekly WC. C'est la vie

Just fired up the QT, so stay tuned for some new fishies
And possibly some more tank issues, but I need more fish poop for the corals, so I'll deal with things as they occur

Currently have 5 RBTAs and am wondering if they are splitting so fast due to irritation from the porcelain nem crab ?
They are splitting at a much smaller size than they used to
I'm monitoring what is going on and thinking I may get rid of the crab

Our clown, Goober, isn't being hosted, but spends much of his day patrolling the nem area, swimming between all of the tentacles, and keeping the emerald crabs away and such
The claws come out, but the clown eventually wins through sheer persistence with his constant poking/nudging
I'm OK with him not beating up the nems by being inside them and we enjoy the show when a critter gets too close to the area
Goober (aptly named) will even shake away trying to scare off snails

Clowns are awesome! My nem split this week too, beating on moving so all three clowns have a nem to host! Tank is looking great!!

The QT is alive again
I spent more than planned, but isn't that always the way with this hobby ?

I'm going to have to be extra vigilant for awhile with clean water, but it's worth it
I bought a Neon Goby, Redhead Goby and a Purple Firefish
For Wrasses, I bought a Melanurus, a Filamented Flasher, and a Solar and a Whipfin Fairy

Everybody ate live last night, and all 5 big guys ate NLS for lunch with the gobies possibly nibbling on leftovers
Tonight I tried the Nori clip and the wrasses went bananas for it, with the firefish cleaning up the leftovers
So far so good

There's been no squabbling, and the gobies hang out together

I'm also really happy with the quality of the fish from J&L as all these guys have good-sized bellies and (fingers crossed) no visible signs of disease

No time for decent pics right now, but here's a FTS with everyone visible
