200G IM EXT (First tank ever)

Over a month since your last update. Unacceptable, sir.
Haha the best part is I added my last fish (2 chrysus wrasse, mandarin, and a foxface) and about 50 coral lol. The foxface sadly didn’t make it 😭

I also got my first ICP test back and ordered the start of moonshiners materials to start fixing the few misses I had! I will still continue water changes however I do plan to add the traces and follow the rest! It has been busy just hadn’t updated much!

Also ordered a toplid that arrives Thursday too! My only big fight right now is still just the fines that I’ve been fighting!

Sorry to hear about the Foxface. Were there any outward signs of poor health?

You know we're going to need a FTS, right?

Yeah I haven’t taken any FTS in a while tbh just mostly think I took a video a few weeks ago. He showed up great but then wouldn’t eat and was gone before day 3 he couldn’t swim etc. really brutal to watch hate that part of it





Have to try to get a shot tomorrow when lights come on. Tank is very full though, got I think a few more frags showing Thursday then it’s just time to wait and watch it all grow!

The aquawiz has also been very nice for a testing side of things also

Yes, it does suck to watch a fish die knowing there isn't much we can do.

It's looking good to me.

Hope you have or will buy some good cutters. You're going to need them when the tank starts filling in!

Yep got a pair already! This is the part I’m most looking forward to is the growing, I’m happy to be done adding fish etc. wish the foxface would made it I love the way they look but not sure I’m wanting to go through it again
