I’m afraid my Hippo’s HLLE might be worsening. He has had it since I acquired him. I’ve been using selcon on all frozen food, but not sure it’s helping. I just got a new type of algae that has double the crude protein and fat of what I was using. I’m going to see if that has any affect on it.

It could be the tank size as well, but it’s hard to say. He seems to swim freely and doesn’t show stress.

I think I may have had a duncan eat a piece of algae before. Itll be alright IMO.
On another note. How many lbs of Live rock you think you have in there? Any marine pure or stuff like that?
I'm planning on buying marine pure spheres on black Friday for my 125g build. Heard good things

You know, most of the Hippos I have seen have those holes around the nose. I always thought they just had them there???

Probably 120-150lbs if I guessed. Most came with the tank and I added 40lbs of Caribsea liferock.

I think a lot of them do. They just seem more noticeable than they used to. Could be from his growth as well.

Nice! Not to shabby on the photo skills!

What is the name of the chalice?
Thanks! I think it’s My Miami or Mr Miami something, I can’t remember exactly.

Found invoice from purchase, it was called My Miami Chalice.

I just googled it, not sure that’s accurate. Seems the actual one named that has a distinct green rim and this one lacks that.

I placed a couple half glass tops on the tank. I don’t think I’ll have any light issues at the front. Really just trying to cut a bit of evaporation if possible.

Today is my last day home with the tank. Tomorrow my wife takes over ;Woot

So of course on the last day home, I find what looks to be some sort of sea spider. I should have taken a picture in the tank before I pulled it but I didn’t want to lose it.

Thin legs unlike a zoa spider, crawled off a monti I was moving from a plug to the scape.

These are the best pictures I could get. It had a very distinct walk with segmented legs.
