I started doing the nori clip down by where he likes to sit but he hasn't figured it out.

I used to have a lot of GHA and he was fat like he swallowed a grape. Now I got rid of it and he's getting thin. He won't eat frozen or pellets or anything, really. Nice fish otherwise. About 3", I've had him a year. Free to anyone that knows how to trap a fish that doesn't eat and has a...

I tried to change my name also (for the same reasons as Derek) but I think the request went into the ether

I'll do setup

General update: I did the reef flux dosing and knocked out 95% of the green in the frag and display tank. The frag particularly is looking really good. It's not a fast process but it keeps looking better every day even after the 3 weeks when you do the big water change. Still haven't added...

I'll be there if it's still a go

I'll be there. I'll bring an appetizer

There are rescue places and they have full size stuff at the reptile shop even though breeders always do babies, but I never want to go that route. I got her all set up with the nice T5 UVB light, driftwood and seriyu rocks, basking lamps I have to order from irresponsible amazon sellers who...

Don't do it. You'll wind up taking care of it and reptiles live a long time. My 7yo daughter wanted a bearded dragon. We made her wait 6 months and checked out a bunch of shops and the reptile show to make sure she was really committed. Even after all that she lost interest pretty much...

Yeah so an update here I lost a ton of stuff in the power outage and aftermath last year but been stable for a long time now and I've begun to slowly add back. I still have my fish, the big acantho and a few other things, but pretty coral bare. I didn't want to put stuff in for a long time...

I think borbs are actually the hardiest but $$$

Thanks man. It'll get right. Everything that died was fraggable except the 6 line wrasse and starry blenny working fish in the frag tank. My trachy, acantho, and elegance made it along with all my display fish. The stuff there's no way to get but from the sea.

I lost this big colony in power outage. I still have a smaller colony that was in a supported tank, but will have to grow out again

Lost in power outage

My power came back finally last night but even with the generator I could only save the main display. My frag tank got toasted. A few things survived in the frag but 90% melted. Makes sense since it was off for 3 days and got to 60F. Even the display I lost most sps but at least all my fish...
