00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[luis angel]

Good morning folks. My coral package is still sitting in Indiana! Hasn't moved at all yet, and it's been 17 hours! So frustatrating!

If the page still says it arrives today, it must be what Amanda says.

It still says today. My fingers are crossed!

My high Po4 has already started to show me why I have to lower it, a few days ago I saw some blue legs climbing my montipora and today it woke up partially bleached, but my Anacropora is doing great, no more sticks until I manage to stabilize those Po4 one way or another. With the zoas I sold I made $150, I'm going to spend that on a gfo reactor or at least a couple of bags of RowaPhos

So I have created a few problems with my tank all my fish are moved over from a old system youngest fish is my 6 line at 3 years my clowns are 7-8 watchman goby and his fire shrimp are 5-6 they have always been friendly and broadcast fed daily now on my new tank i setup a Neptune feeder and a feed ring it goes off twice a day i still occasionally hand feed to interact with them i feel that’s still very important i need the feed ring because slowing or shutting down the return messes with my skimmer and causes temp swings in my frag tang all located in the basement also takes my herbie a while to regulate after kicking back on (all something I need to figure out) now whoever said fish are not smart this feed ring has only been installed for a week or two and my larger clown fish has claimed it his frequently checking it and knows minutes in advance before this feeder gos off and stay there chasing away the other fish anytime they get close to the ring now the other clown has a small rip in tail I never imagined ide deal with food aggression and I’m concerned the goby is not getting food the struggle of reefing just when you think you got it all figured out

Maybe add more than one feeding spot make them far apart so it's hard for him to guard both places.

I use to have to do this when I kept African Cichlids.

Wow i feel dumb I never even thought about that and that would be easy to do with the apex

Joel, sorry to hear about your family's disfunction. It runs in the human family all around the globe. Not the way we were designed to live. My family has it's share of disfunction and I always fear passing that on to my kids. Sounds like you have broken the cycle and that is good for your family!

Thanks Lowell!
Nice to see you!
Neither kids or parents come with an instruction manual and I'm sure they did the best they thought they could.

Not dumb at all.
You didn't know.
I have to feed in 2 spots or my trigger eats it all.
He feeds on the left, others on the right.
They KNOW.
They are smart.

 

[Imrahilwjz]

You have an amazing family and I know without a doubt those kids will grow up to do great things and have amazing childhood memories!

I certainly hope so! :-)

 

[00W]

Morning y'all!
You all should know what day it is....
Right?

 

[00W]

I certainly hope so! :)

They will! :smiling-face:

Try the hob filter Luis.
Super simple and it works.
Lots cheaper too.
Just plop it on and go.

What is a hob filter?

The old "Hang On Back" freshwater filters.

You can usually pick them up used for cheap or free. No media needed since you're using it for ROWA.

Ohhhh, thanks Joel and Tim
But I would need to create a new lid because for 90 gallons it is too big and I couldn't put my lid on it

Just get a small aquaclear 20
They are super small and take up almost no room.
You can also put them on the sump if you don't mind the noise of a waterfall.

So good and bad news this morning. Well, really only bad news. And 2 things.

As you all know, the coral shipment hasn't updated yet, which isn't a good sign.

The other thing is that my anthias passed away last night.

The good news, I guess, is that my other seven fish are healthy, and eating as of now, so hopefully whatever happened to my anthias won't cause other fish to die to.
