wow, it's been almost 6 months since there was an update! I will pull some pics together tomorrow to get an visual update, but here is what is going on:
- had an ich outbreak - completely tore down the rocks and coral to catch all of the fish and moved them into QT. Lost about half of what I had, but managed to save a good chunk of them. They went through a 12 week cupramine and monitoring treatment and then were put back in the tank about thanksgiving.
- got some more fish after the initial ones went back in the tank and put them through a 6 week QT and just got them in the tank this week
- changed lighting about 28 times, and think I am excited most about what is going on the tank tomorrow when it arrives
Other than that, I have only lost a couple corals, and for the most part I've had great growth and the colors are finally coming around to where I want them now. I've fragged my pearlberry colony about 4 times now and will be cutting a couple branches tomorrow, I love that coral.
Fish list (display), named by my 4 year old daugther:
5" Regal Tang - "Dorey"
3" yellow eye Kole Tang - "Grapes"
2 captive bred clowns - "Nemo" and "Marlin"
2" six line wrasse - "Rainbow"
3" yellow corris wrasse - "Bright"
4" Flame Angel - "Scarlet"
In the QT Tank, hoping to find some more anthias or chromis tomorrow so I can start prazi-pro and cupramine:
4" Sailfin Tang - "Stripe White" (White is apparently his last name, lol)...this thing is a PIG...fat and healthy
2x 2.5" ignitus anthias - ordered 5 from Live Aquaria and 3 were DOA...hoping to save the last 2, but they don't seem to be in good shape
I think that's good enough for now, will share more tomorrow!
