WarDog's Tank Thread : Episodic Trial And Error

[WarDog]

Had the Yellow Tail for a couple days and the little dude wasn't feeding at all. He mouthed a few Mysis but I didn't see him eating it.
Saw him this morning when I left for work, but when I came home he was nowhere to be found. Searched everywhere and only came up with two ideas.
1) He's hiding somewhere in the pukani or 2) he went for a carpet surf and got eaten by one of our two white hairy landsharks. Poor guy.



Parameters continue to improve:
no2 : 0.02 ppm
no3 : 10 ppm
I will check other params tomorrow.

Starting to get serious diatoms. If I remember correctly, this is normal and it will take care of itself over the next few weeks, yes?



Thanks for looking and replies/recommendations/suggestions welcome!

Sorry, no. You need to start over.

Nice job overall...
Sorry to read about your Yellow Tail going MIA
Where did you source the wiring duct or trough for your sump?

Call off the search and rescue, it has been discovered this morning. 😃

The product is called Panduit and I got mine from Torbram Electrical Supply in PoCo, but any good electrical supply house should carry it. I even think Home De Pot has something similar.

...and on a lighter note, the yellow tail was spotted this morning alive and well, lol.
