Looking good. I always liked the fox face. The rock really looks good.

Thanks! I really appreciate it.

Sorry I haven’t been as active as I’ve used to. Madden 20 takes up a lot of my free time, lol.

 

[Why-Me]

I have a lawnmower blenny that won't even eat fish food because all he will eat is green hair algae.

Sounds like a good idea. Heard they don’t play well with Mandarins though, right?

I think the reason the foxface won’t eat the gha in that one area is because it’s in the direct current of the powerhead. Maybe I should move the powerhead.

 

[Why-Me]

mandarin is goby. So I'm not 100% sure. I'd check the fish compatibility chart here on R2R

Oh, forgot to mention. I moved the gsp to the 20 gal because I saw what I think was bubble algae on it. I’ll take some pics of the gsp tmr and see what y’all think.

 

[Why-Me]

Just checked the chart, says gobies and blennies are fine together.

Still having the slight gha problem.

Keep it up buddy, you are going in the right direction.

Technically a Mandarin is not a Goby at all. It is a Dragonette (Synchiropus).

Thought this was a pretty cool pic.

If only I had a better camera....

Sunday update

Still need to order that coral+ bulb I’ve been talking about along with a higher gph return pump and maybe an inkbird temp controller.

 

[Bryson.bobby]

I decided to put one of the whiter bulbs that came with the fixture to see if I like it more. I can definitely tell a big difference

Looking good. What bulbs did you finally land on? I just can’t seem to get the right combo.

I’m running 3 blue + and 1 white hydroponic bulb that came with the fixture I bought atm. Will be ordering a coral+ soon.

I’m really liking the tank a little brighter
