Cade Chaos Grimoire

[danieyella]

A couple dabs of superglue should might hold good enough, but not be too difficult to remove if necessary..

Glue is on my list of things to acquire this week

Also, I won a ton of stuff from printed reef awhile back, I think there might be little thin frag holder things to wedge into the rocks, going to dig through all that. I tossed them aside because they were printed the stupidest orientation ever. That really stood out to me.

This week's to-do list:

Grocery store
2 coral deliveries (1 wed, 1 thurs)
1 fish delivery (idk when?)
1 bloodwork appt
1 cardiologist appt (new dr, I'm sure it'll be a waste)
Start prepping the mini-greenhouse for some TC plants I have on order
Move a couple things from the cube to the peninsula
Aiptasia hunt in the cube
Order a new UV bulb for cube
Look into installing UV in peninsula that's been hanging out in tank stuff since before I set the tank up...

I'll try to remember to circle back tomorrow for this. Lights still off this morning & I'll likely forget by the time I get home from work

Fish delivery today.

1 Coral delivery tomorrow, the other Thursday.

They reached out to me, they couldn't find any of their orange pavona so they're subbing with something else... they also didn't have any good attached green nepthea

old photo, miss this rock

A friend of ours has a huge chunk of gsp he's pulling off the glass in his tank for me. I still have the piece this was growing on before my old engineer buried and killed it. Might let it take over that again.

Tomorrow I really need to sit down and reset the mini-greenhouse for my tissue cultures that should be coming this month

I still have a ton of plants that need repotted as well, but I need to get more pots still I think.

I got an orange Litho from TSA. Wild Thornberry or something like that. Super bright.

And then there's this guy

New arrivals look good at first glance, salinity acclimation happening now

I did a dumb

I used the box for the p blue and p brown when I added them and literally NO ONE cared they existed, so I didn't use the box for this new tang - turns out the powder blue cares A LOT. I added him after lights out but once lights came on there were some issues.... So now he's in the box, he looks ROUGH. I hope he pulls through, I have no rock/piping/etc I can put in there presently to give some security so I'm making a trip in a little bit to see what I can find/add to make things less stressful.

Why am I dumb?

The rule is better safe than sorry - follow the rules...

Don't forget, a mirror can help easy the aggression...

As soon as he went into the container the other fish stopped caring that he's there. So I'm really confused....

No one cares about these guys though.

I do have a little mirror in my kit that I used to use every time I added a fish to the old cade 1200 because my chocolate tang was a beast and wanted to murder everyone new on sight (no matter the species).

I just don't know where I'd put it on this tank.

Mine killed each other until I had one..

I have like 8 of the little girls handheld mirrors from the dollar store, and tape them as needed. I also keep/ have had to use a 4' door mirror that I screw into the stand in front the front glass. Only needed that once..

The aggressive fish will normally find the mirror regardless where you place it. Multiple aggressors mean multiple mirrors or bigger..

Yeah I ordered 3 in hopes I end up w/ at least 1 male and 1 female so I'll have a pair. I'm fully expecting a fight club between them once they settle in....

Just 1 aggressor. The mirror I have is 4x6 (thanks order history) and apparently it was a 2 pack, so there should be a second floating around

I did used to just tape it to the front of the tank w/ the chocolate

 

[Goaway]

my tangs,

Chocolate is not a mirror fighter. But will give a beat down on any new fish added. Scopas tang. I just flash the mirror at the scopas get her attention and get an instant reaction. And tape it down.

I don't know if it works for your monsters. You can to bait them into looking into the mirror and tape down there.
