Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Well, new update to my fish order. Now might have to call the carrier Dead Ex as it’s delayed a day til Wednesday. And never mind false alarm. Now it’s saying today between 9AM and 1:40 PM.
10 minutes ago it said something completely different.

Best of luck! My Mertensii anemone was delayed two days! I was supposed to get it last Tuesday, it came in on Thursday. However, it is doing great. I did bleach out due to stress and temperature, but it appears healthy at this point.
 
Any one with a Pink Stripe wrasse, how are they are far as aggression and pest control?
Deys one of tame ones. Don’t put with bullies like six lines can be. They rate about the same as as possum wrasses

That’s why they are so popular, very peaceful fish. It seems that they are hard to find because of the demand, someone is always posting on R2R that they are looking for one.

I didn't know they ate pests. What kind of pests?

They are supposed to eat the same as sixlines, flat worms and other coral eating bugs.

They’ll hunt down smaller bristleworms, flatworms crustaceans. Not as actively as others but they’ll definitely enjoy a fresh tank grown pesty treat.
 
You never know with this group.... ROFL
Yes. My plan is to eventually, using gene manipulation to grow house cats that breath underwater. The first true cat “fish”

So I think my sea slug is getting the crud out from under the rock leading to phosphate not as bound as usual. I guess I'm in a new phase of reefing. I'll keep testing and implement a new plan soon.
Good morning Bobby!
