Thanks Kev!
I've been looking around and everyone is out of stock unfortunately
I'm on the "if back in stock contact " list.

Did you get on TSA’s contact me when back in stock? Definitely a fish I will add to my new tank.

I'm totally low tech...

I've tried every color but prefer white.

Shush, Coris? Nah just a Yellow Wrasse with Coris tendencies, but don't tell @Slocke

That is the Three Little Fishes Nori Pouch. I find it cleaner than a clip.

Yes.

Except no Coris tendencies. Super chill wrasse.

Kinda a golden rule, don’t change anything for one coral if all others are thriving. I’ve never had them but isn’t there a mineral that keeps them happy, I think I read that. I think Tom and Walker have a really nice goni garden. I don’t remember seeing a picture of your tank, care to share?

 

[smitten with ocean life]

I kept low phosphate around .05, increased phosphate to .30 - .40 and all my Goni got better color and extension. i dose manganese daily

 

[smitten with ocean life]

yep i dose maganese!

 

[kevgib67]

yep i dose maganese!

I know John has six on the way. If your dosing manganese and Vintages gonis are thriving at higher phosphate levels all I can think of is light or flow you could try moving it around. Tidal Gardens has excellent info on care, light, flow etc. Type in goni care and you’ll get very detailed info. Based on it maybe move your gonis to a more suitable location?

Low par. Medium flow. It helps if the flow is “upwards” or random

So, I asked my lfs to order me a Tuxedo urchin and they called today and said they got them. I asked my youngest son to swing by and pick it up before they closed. He texted me that they had 3 two small ones about the size of a nickel and a larger one about 1/3 of my one that passed away. I had him grab a small one and the larger one. My tank is complete again. Well almost, my female clown is obsessed with the new royal gramma and just hangs out in front of it’s cave especially when food is put in. The sixline added after just swims around freely. I thought that the clown would loose interest by now.

I haven't seen those, I'll look for them next time, I'm actually a weird guy lol, I can eat the same thing forever lol, I go to the restaurants and places I like and I always order the same thing, sometimes without even looking at the menu

Same here Luis….Taco Bell is the chicken quesadilla meal.

 

[WalkerLovesTheOcean]

yep i dose maganese!

Can we see photos? That will help us and I want to see them!

 

[kevgib67]

Well, they are settled! In less than 10 minutes the little one made a friend!
