Well been depressed and laying lower lately from stress of life n constant cost of treatment ect. Then lost a few sps frags that I wasn't sure about already starting. Hydroids Brown poylp type has been a nightmare. Has me ashamed to take good tank photos lately. Lost our carpenter flasher wrasse think he had a bladder issues started swimming weird and just got worse till he couldn't hardly swim. He ate n otherwise seemed ok. We're qt'n a royal flasher wrasse and coral beauty that's darker purple without the orange belly. Hopefully things get turned around fast I'm working hard at it.

Love that coral beauty. Its a beauty . One of my favorite fish, beautiful and great personality.

They are beautiful unfortunately I've lost a lot due to extend time at cancer center n person helping with tank fell through I saw upon returning home. I've been fighting deep depression and with the support of our wonderful R2R community I'm getting positive again. This has gotten me back into the turn around of our reef. Hopefully be ready for a updated pic soon. Embarrassing how it is now. I'm not giving up gotten a lot accomplished with it already. So stay tuned for more to follow. Thank you for everyone praying and show of love to our family through this extremely difficult time. Hopefully everyone has a blessed and happy day.

Saw your link so I checked it out. Cool set-up! I'll be praying over your health & your family, and of course the tank and your little dudes/dudettes! (((HUGS)))

It's getting clearer of hair algae slowly but hydroids are killing me and almost all of our corals. Any ideas for fighting it are appreciated.

 

[steve&mari]

We also closed on our home on October 5th so that's settled and ours now so big relief. Big thank you to R2R and everyone involved. So going to be setting up a real water station now at some point. Got 2 50 gallon pickle barrels for the water storage. Already have the ro/di setup into a brute so this is just a cleaner more complete system. Barrels are only 15 bucks around us so pretty cheap way to go.

Also a big thank you to @helen ann and Larry @ReefFrenzy for the shipment of reef frenzy for us.

You are very welcome Hun!

We got our shipment of vibrant and started dosing Monday. Hopefully it clears away the algae. Sunday the return pump went out so had to get another one quick. Ended up with a deep blue t5000 overkill for setup but it's temporary. Plans to get another dc return pump then use deep blue inline for water station.

Have a cf memory card coming for the dslr. Also should have a macro prime lens arriving this am. Those together should help with getting real pictures again lol.

While changing return pump Sunday had a line come apart and sprayed sw everywhere. So now the tunze 3155 ato is no longer working. Opened up don't see anything wet or damaged so at loss as to why it's no longer working. Gotta get replaced soon hopefully.
