Are you the one who uses Chaetogro . And nothing else ?

I do use Cheatogro for my macroalgae but a few months ago I began dosing AFR because I am adding more sps and lps coral. I still do water changes too.

I'm going to say good morning now because it is going to take a long time to work my way through last nights #smargasbordafterdark. Super deluxe great music though so it will be pleasant work.

Good Morning and Happy Thursday everyone!

Good morning folks, catching up on this thread since I am at the courthouse fulfilling my juror summons waiting to see if I will be assigned a case.

Good morning good to see you

On this podcast of cooking with Kev, I have prepared my famous chicken broth soup. Unlike Chinese food, you eat until you are stuffed and an hour later you are starving, this meal sticks to your bones, might not have to eat again today.

Good morning nerds! Well, crappy morning, woke up to find my CBB dead. I don’t understand, ate great last night and not a single mark on her. I had high hopes for this one. Start my prep at noon, no food for this amigo until after I get probed tomorrow morning and I’m already hungry.

Unfortunately the common thought is that they're still most likely being collected with cyanide. Sometimes these go guys 3 months in captivity apparently healthy and then just suddenly pass one day. No signs, no symptoms.

Ya, I know that they are difficult that’s why I went with Dr. Reef the first time around. It wouldn’t eat and lasted the same amount of time as my second one. I’m stubborn, I still want one in my tank.

And since I posted Mr. Fountain, I may as well close out with the other best clarinetist blowing out Louis Prima's tune.

His drummer wasn't half bad either.

I guess sand bed depth matters to Yellow Wrasses. Since we added about a half-inch more sand in its primary sleeping area, it is sleeping in longer and going to bed earlier. It kind of saunters out just before the morning feeding and goes to bed slightly after the nighttime snack. It looks very well rested now.

Mines the last one up and first to bed also Tom. I often have to wait for the morning feeding until he makes his appearance.

We used to wait as well but then switched to feed when we feed if you miss breakfast, tough. It is actually getting up about a half hour later and going to bed about an hour earlier since we deepened the sand bed.

The Pintail on the other hand is the second one up, after the Klein, and one of the last to bed. The Klein, Cardinal, and Foxface don't seem to really sleep, just slow down. When it was little, the Foxface would fall asleep and drift around the tank. Made me nuts as it would get stuck to the overflow every once in a while.
