yes yes..when I tore down the 140 to transfer everything to the 300, I had to frag all the zoas. and then had to frag them again when I took out the lava rock and replaced it with marco and caribesea rock,in Aug of 2023 I ended up with 60 frags. Since last month they finally are happy and have doubled, and now I can tell most of the zoas I have...I put them everywhere lol. It will look very cool once they fill in the rocks and the arches I have them on...tank is waking up...me not waking up...

Gosh, I had tacos two nights in a row already. It would have to be bean tacos tonight unless I make a new batch of meat.

Or I could just pick up a pound of some delicious carne asada to go from my favorite taqueria!

Hellooo Taco Tuesday!

Morning all, @ESABOE, I am fighting diseases since more than 5 weeks. This morning the dottyback passed away ( to be franck I was thinking he died 2 days ago), still one clown and the tailspot affected hopefully it will go away. The flame overcome it yesterday and other fishes didn't show symptoms, all are eating fine. Also 2 SPS going through RTN/STN.

So sorry @Remi , we’ve all been there, losing just one of our beloved pets sucks. I hope this turns around for you!

well llast month flew by me...Having coffee and notice my blonde naso does not fit in his favorite rock cave..so now I guess I will have to separate it some to open it up. I made it in 3 sections so this will be easy. Plus it would have been to big to place in the tank as 1 piece...so I guess I am getting wet and closer to the next tank...thinking 6ftx4ftx30inches tall.
