No he hides all the time in the rock on the right until feeding time!

I’ve had many battles with hair algae over the years. Enough good can’t be said about sea hares IMO.

I'm surprised the fish don't get that hair algae for you. Of course it wouldn't kill you to do a water change once and a while ;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious

Oh, is that normal?
I've always seen them front and centre, however I've never seen one as big as yours so maybe it's an age/adult thing.

No, I think the aggressive tank mates intimidate him so he hides more these days. I see him out often, but when I add new fish he hides!

Truthfully I’ve done about 300 gallons of water changes in the past 2-3 months! Believe it or not

Beautiful tank and fish! Love the look of the tile on the front!

 

[MrsBugmaster]

Looks amazing! I need to come see it in person one of these days.

2020 video/photo update

Battling hair algae on left side where there is less flow, adding power head over there today.

More water changes, added some angels. Queen angel being treated for pop eye. Next batch may be my last by and large.



Dussumeiri tang beat up before I got it, other than an occasion tassel with the Passer angel in QT.

Have you quit dosing Vibrant? I wouldn’t think the hair algae would be there if you were.

The gif I want for you isn’t appropriate for this forum, I don’t want to moderate myself!

Thank you! @hotrocks had the idea!

You are welcome any time. How are your angels??

Thanks man!

Still dosing vibrant. It started with cyano and when the cyano left, hair algae persisted!

Oh, I’ve got just a little cyano on my sand but my PBT seams to enjoy eating it so it doesn’t really get out of hand. When I notice the cyano starting to grow quicker I know my Phosphate is up and test and start dosing Phosphate Rx to bring it back down a little. What did you do to clear out the cyano?

Good looking FOWLR! I struggle calling mine a FOWLR since I have no live rock. I usually just call it my 120 fish only.

Well, my interruptus are doing great however, the male killed my female goldflake I had paired with my GF/Flagfin hybrid . Was going to replace it with a juvenile flagfin but it did not make it out of qt. Lasted only about 10 days. So I'm on the lookout for another juvenile Flagfin.

Thanks! I don’t know much about phosX, I guess I should do some reading.

I did not do anything but slightly decrease the vibrant and water changes. Thinned back my macro algae.

Aww man that stinks, I’m sorry! I’ll keep an eye out, too! I want to see pics of the interruptus angels! Post some here?

yes, please keep an out for a juvenile flagfin. Here are some pictures. They are not very good though. And a little video. First is the male, both together. Third female.

Beautiful sir.

Is the Passer getting along with everyone? Gorgeous fish man! Love the Banana wrasse! Trying to connect with @HotRocks and make it over there. I would love to see it in person. It has provided much inspiration for my current build. I travel for work so we are trying to get schedules to match up! Hopefully soon!
