Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Hey Parker, maybe for the next 30 days,you don’t add any more fish/corals/inverts. Let’s try and get your tank back to looking good, and the new clown acclimated and happy with other clown,

Every time you introduce anything new to the tank, you risk bringing in other stuff,

Just a suggestion, because every single one of us has gone to the LFS to just get fish food or something benign and come home with an animal of some kind. Hehe
I agree on not adding any corals. Can i still add the clownfish This weekend?

Sorry, fell asleep - it was a very long day.

You are talking about the lil clownfish you just got correct that his mate just died, correct?

If so, is he in the tank with the flux? If he is, move him into tank with your other clownfish but with acclimation box. If he is in a different tank, still put in acclimation box since u don’t know what caused the death of the other one. If it was the cleaner shrimp or another fish, this will keep him safe.
 
My treatment got extended. No big deal. The director just wanted me to have 20 days based on my level of distress when I was admitted. Just 2 more 3 hour days.
 
Should I move him in now?
If I was to do so I don’t think I need to acclimate
Lights out would be a great time as long as you around once lights come on.

Yes that is the clown I am talking about.
He is not in the tank with the flux but I want to move him into there this weekend. I can put him in the acclimation box in the tank with the flux.

You got this sweetie! Sounds like they are doing what is best for you.

2 days… you got this!!
 
I wouldn't

Agreed. Leave him where he is but put in acclamation box.

I know you’re really worried they are both distressed and sad because they didn’t have a mate; but they are actually totally fine.
