Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience

Good job my man!
Should be good to go now.
Are you sure you want the pygmy and tang in that small tank together?
How's the pygmy eat?
Good I hope.

The Pygmy is about 1 inch and the yellow tang will be about 1.5.
Tang should be fine in there for 2 weeks unless those types of fish don’t get along.
Pygmy is eating great!

Believe it or not pygmies can be absolutely me as h$$$ and territorial.
I want you to get some of the others thoughts on this I don't want to see you with a tragedy.

My thoughts....
So far this fish has not been aggressive towards other fish.
The Pygmy used to live with a small Blenny, but I put him in the 90.
Not because of aggression but I thought he would look better in the 90.

Gotcha.
OK well a 10 is a lot easier to catch a fish in so you can give it a try at least.
What is the plan with the pygmy. They're cool little guys.

Not sure what my plan is with him yet. Depends how big he will get. I might have to rehome him.


Not going in the 90 gallon
 
It was like a weight lifted. Stress is definitely not good with PTSD.
That's the way it should be.
This year has been a rough go for a lot of us.
Nice to have some positive out of a bad situation. I really try to stay as positive as possible but I'm SO sarcastic I can get my own self down sometimes.
And cold.
So dang cold.

I hate the auto edit-I've never used the word dang in my life.
