Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I saw 2 weeks ago a filefish, the size of a small plate 6 inches diameters. It was a tassle, normally I see only the small one.
Wow - he must have been awesome! I would create a Jurassic decorated tank just for him!
 
Yes copper should be keep steadily during the quarantine process. I think wrasse may be more sensitive to copper.
Yes, I think Remi is correct on wrasse sensitivity
 
Good morning all, mainly I listen the radio in the car so American and English singers. I left France 18 years ago so when I go there I don't know 80% of actual singers or actors lol (only recognize old ones).
What genre of music- Rap, country, r&b, hard rock, etc
 
Already I am dealing with ich. If I go through, no more addition. Even coral I may been nearly full.
Ahhh, that makes sense. Is it in DT, or isolated?
 
My orange shoulder tang stung himself on one of the nems;been touch and go for days. Today will be the day he either makes it or doesn’t. Waited months on two tangs; didn’t get the chocolate and now Frankie is likely not going to make it.
Dylan has stopped by twice, Elliot weighed in and we’ve done all we can.

Ugh - I don’t even want the morning light to come in room right now…

Oddly or not, today is also the day a new fish is arriving- God, always working in the background for ya.
 
I try immune system so on the DT. Already more than 15 days, no death mainly on one fish who is eating like a pig but got it bad.
If he’s eating like that, very strong immune system- sending good thoughts to your entire reef!

So sorry to hear about Frankie!

Really sorry, when did he get stung?

Nems going by-by to LFS, except one. I only got them for clowns who have ignored and they are multiplying taking up valuable real estate.
 
Really sorry, when did he get stung?
5 days that I’ve been able to determine- if I could get him to eat more then one or two bites of food a day I think he would make it. We have fed him everything.

If i could afford it, I’d get that cool ESHOPPS deskmate and put the nems and my clowns in there. It would be really beautiful and I think the clowns would finally home themselves.
