Typical Ace Hardware stores are independently owned and many times also locally owned.

If it has only been a week, I would give it a little more time. I imagine a quarantine tank has lower flow than a display and the fish just needs some time to build that muscle back up. Really cool fish.

Never used Orphek but I am sure they are great. I added two Quanta bars to sandwich radions. I like them. Cheaper than others and no app to fuss with. Set the manual dimmer switch, add a timer at the plug and done. The Clevin 3d printed mounts are great. Snapped into the radion light rail easily.

and how about you? Does it excite you? Apologies if you are not a robot.

What do you mean by diffuse style? I got these late December. I like that they do not cover much of the light, just the four corners. Seemed pricey to me but I was getting yelled at for not having much on the christmas list this year (its weird being over 40 and in-laws demanding xmas...

Running carbon as a form of filtration.

In my opinion the 4 line wrasse is prettier and in my limited experience behaves better than 6 line wrasse. (I’ve only ever had one of each though.) I have a pink streak that a friend gave me when he shut down a couple years ago. It’s pretty cool looking and very friendly so far.

What else could they do? I thought you just have to go fallow for x amount of days. Raising the temp speeds up the pest lifecycle, is how I understand it. Do you want lower margins or a different protocol?

its been a couple few years since I have tested phosphate or nitrate. I imagine nitrate is low while phosphate is high. Need to get some new reagents and take a look.

Your tank looks great in the recent "Full Tank Shot" thread (shown below). How long has your tank been at .46 phosphate?

Any sign of life on the rock?

looking good! Nanos are hard but you are killing it. Love the fox and Hawkins

It's 90's Nascar art theme over here when the lights are sun setting

They are dither fish too! Flow acclimation seemed to take longer than salt acclimation in my limited to a few experience. After acclimating to salt, they would live about a year in my tank (high flow). I did not get them as babies though. Age unknown.

They were on several youtube videos a while back with abyzz... Can't remember who's channel. I do remember seeing their facility and thinking what a great, clean, bright and well organized shop.
