Kamoer pumps down. Explains the nitrate being low. Glad we keep it at 20 doesn't bottom out in a jiff.

Glad I tested this week lol... I did not clean glass though.... Lololol

how much is a ton :)

I dose 15 ml the phos solution and 50 ml the nitrate daily, and feed pellet 2x a day, some dry brine, dry mysis and calanus . a green frozen cube and a half sheet nori.

at lest 8 of my home made fish cubes daily in the big tank; 2 in the nem tank and 2 in the frag tank.

its great they've started getting my other fish to eat from my hand! my wild-caught rabbitfish is almost coming up to me even!

they make Timmy go nuts... he was so excited to get them he bit my finger last time... he knew it though and nuzzled it for extra long after.

Saying I should adopt another clown single :eek:

After 2 years of being a widow
My male clown lost his bride to popeye. Never allowed another clown in the tank, and did not change to female. Some clowns are weird

Edit: first clown pair i had in the old 55g.

The female in the office tank was kicking the snot out of the male so I moved him to the big tank. It was love at first site. I don't think Onyx the female is the type to settle down. So she's gonna stay in there with the cardinal.
