Oooh, the regal! I love that fish too. Definitely a bit dicey in a reef though (like most medium-large angels actually). I've always found them difficult to keep. Many of them don't end up eating, or end up eating things you don't want them to eat

. Not impossible but definitely challenging. Anyway, she looks like she'll be a gorgeous addition if she can kick that ich.

Like all fish in my tank, only the strong survive...

gsp is honestly one of my favourites, if only it wasnt so invasive..

Love this fish! Model citizen so far with the lps! Nips at lots on the rocks, probably small sponges, that will run out. Hopefully he can eat some pellets or frozen by then.

I've always loved GSP macros.

writing this update is giving me chest pains...

last night did a dose of sentinel for red bugs... most pods in main tank dead, lots of small ones alive in frag tank, one acro crab dead, thats it...cant see any red bugs anymore, clam is fine... sentinel worked well, maybe too well...

So now i could care less about these red bugs that i just paid a shutload for some sentinel pills and they are the least of my acro troubles, it seems the sucking ftupid black/purple bugs are invincible and have also devestated others acro colonies, from r2r it starts halfway down:

http://www.reef2reef.com/threads/an-....184192/page-7

these black bugs are eating all my acros, after the sentinel treatment, they flourished! most likely because of no competition on a food source, but with the exception of some new colonies, all my acros today are toast. all frags had bugs - garbage. in one night they exploded... all other corals and fish are great.

2 GALLONS of frags all infested this morning with rtn and a few colonies..

I have a bunch to frag and maybe recover if i got enough of them out but im pretty sure im dreaming..

What am i supposed to do with a decent size calcium reactor and zeovit and not many corals that like ulns, use it with super slowflow and changes stones half as much, or use half as much stones..

ugh..might just accept that im going to have a LPS dominant reef here soon..

anyways slowed down reactor and flow, might have some gyres for sale soon....
