Good morning!

Hope you all have a nice Sunday.

I guess there is some game on tonight. If we have the TV on it will probably be tuned to the Olympics.

Good morning Luis! Did you notice aggression from your male lyre tail to the females when you first added them. When I first saw yours I fell in love and knew that they would be in my upgraded tank.

The two I have are females, Kev. For a moment I thought one was going to transition, but I don't know. They look a little different, but maybe it's because of their size. When I bought them, none of the LFS near me had males, and then I found one, but it was very big. I've been thinking about looking for one lately, but I'm not sure.

Buenos dias amigo, I have some work to do, but I don't think it will take long. After that, I'll come home to organize some things in the patio and try to call AT&T again to see when they're going to restore my internet, since it's been three days already. I called yesterday and supposedly there's an outage that could take up to 10 days

I had to make some extended supports for the clamps. I cut them the size of the clamps and used a Kreg to make pocket holes.

For tangs what type of Nori do you guys usually feed with? Also are there creating pellet foods that work best? Maybe spirulina mysis and brine works too?

I know they have Nori in green bags red bags and one other coral I have seen. Curious what works best for everyone!

I only have one Tang and honestly, both the green and red nori have worked for me.

Thank you Luis! They are doing a little better. My yellow tang shadows the yellow Cori’s wrasse like it’s his brother from a different mother.

How long did it take the silt from TBS live sand to settle?

Good morning Rock. Not long, I followed directions and shook the bags and poured the silty water out before adding it.

Good morning Chris! Take care man.

I started watching the Olympics, but some of these goofy athletes and their anti American non sense is pushing me away.

Hopefully that's not an offensive statement, but it stands nonetheless.

  • I actually prefer a coral-and-invertebrate-only system

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • It depends on the tank’s size, style, or purpose
