Will I got a yellow eye kole tang today it was returned to the local fish store because it out grew the 20g tank they had it in. Got him for a steal 10 bucks. He looks ok already eating after animation.

Ok so I had some cyano pop up in the lat couple days I siphoned 99% of it out last night and did a w/c im reducing my light period and I increased my flow. Before if I turned up my wp 25 it would just blow my sand everywhere but I guess now that the sand has the biological slime coat it doesn't blow around so win on that.

I got up a little late today, I usually wake up before my lights come on but today I got up just as they came on and I just sat there watching for about an hour. It just blows my mind at how amazing these creatures really are.

Ok so I woke up about an hour ago and came down looked at my tank and my kole tang is dead. I have no idea what killed him he has been very active and eating even yesterday he ate like a pig. He did always seem kinda skinny but never sunken in or anyting like that.

Ok so I have been dealing with a ich outbreak that I am attributing to the recent kole tang I also lost my original clownfish to it today. I also added a urchin about a week and a half ago and I haven't seen it after the second day it was in the tank I haven't found any spines so im guessing its just hiding. So yeah the tank kinda stinks right now but on a nice note my corals are kicking butt.

So I have a pink booty chalice that I got a while back and it never took off and has been slowly receding. Well I find out why, my emerald crab apparently took a liking to eating it I caught him red handed a few minutes ago. Well he is banished to the fuge now. I really hope the chalice recovers its one of my favorites.

Well, to be honest I actually sold my whole set-up 3 days ago. I am about to move into a house I will have to remodel and I am going to upgrade to a 180 or 220 when I'm done
