[reefwars]

also sad note this morning my elegance is not gonna make it, its lost about 25% since yesterday.

tonight i frag my first elegance and ill continue with treatment afterwards but chance of survival is slim to none

[Proteus]

Why not get a possum wrasse. They stay small

[sphelps]

Sorry about your elegance.

I got a Disappearing Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus evanidus) in my sump, free if you want him, I have zero pods thanks to this guy but he's a bit aggressive towards new fish.

[reefwars]

great news!!!!


my mandy is alive!!!



ok what she did in my mind is impossible for jumping fish let alone a mandarin lol


heres the tale of her journey.


one day she was happy eating all the pods but she was always curious about what the foods like in the overflow box....

now my overflow box is protected, its surrounded in eggcrate and doubled up so fish or crabs cannot get through.


i didnt think to look in my sump as the m andarin would have to jump the eggcrate, swim into my overflow and find a way into my durso pipe, then she has to travel along the walls and the tubing to get thrown into my sump , even then theres not alot of places to hide.


well she did just that???

today i noticed somethin in my sump i went dpwn for a look thinking it was my leopard wrasse who is residing there but low and behold...it was mandy!!!


so now im a bit happier and she will be returned to the tank and the corris wrasse relieved of duties and my harleys added back to the tree top.


elegance has gone from 100% to 25% in less than 48hrs....classic elegnace coral syndrome.....nothing you can do and survival is next to impossible.....another elegance down the drain fragging at this stage is not an option anymore

the elegance will be removed this evening

peace is now restored to the bonsai tree, the mandy is back at home and ol yellow got evicted in his sleep lol

the tank is doing well, pods are uner control.added some new sps from corl master last night and a birght ricordia

and my new personal fave , not sure where greg would suggest its placement but i figure in a colony of suncorals would look cool :P

all in all im 100% pleased with this tank so far, growth i through the roof , sps colors are insane and its a stable little tank with little to no coral warfare so far
