Within the last few days it seems, The orange shoulder has developed a beautiful bright blue stripe along its whole bottom anal fin. Obviously super hard to capture.

Wondering if this is how the color change starts?

@beardog

The transfer starts on page 90 if you want to read from there. I did a big recap at the end. Feel free to hit me with any questions.

Thanks buddy. I need to borrow the par meter again to get the lighting finally set.

I'm very seriously considering not enclosing the top fully which means either floating or suspended dealie over the tank.

Absolutely spectacular! If pride is something you feel, you should be extremely proud.

It is my man. Thank you for the kind words.

I feel like I'm always running around fixing things and don't spend enough time enjoying it. When I just sit my butt down and stare, I feel very proud of this glass-covered box o water.

The fruit of our labour always tastes the sweetest, we just need to remember to eat the fruit.

While trying to get parameters under control, @Eagle_Steve was a bit blown away that I feed 8 frozen cubes a day to the big tank without rinsing the food.

This was something new to me. As much as I respect a good ol pantyhose project, I took his recommendation for a food strainer and ran with it substituting a 120 micron stainless steel screen.

I needed to be able to strain out some of the phosphates from the water while retaining the food.

Here's what I came up with.

I've been using it for a few days and I can say that it is quite easy to use. Dip some warm tank water into the cup and thaw the cubes. Once thawed, dump out the water and refill the cup (through the screen) with RODI, swirl and dump again. What seems to be left is just the food items are left.

Here is the process of making it. Feel free to ask any procedural questions.

I'm trying to figure out how to design a test that's will give me an idea as to the effectiveness in reducing phos.

Test is easy.

You shouldn’t be a trend for your tank and the phos in it. Just watch that trend with food now being “clean”.

You can also see if 1ml of strained food to 10 ml (or whatever) of new sw will show high levels of phos when tested.

Just remember, phos is still being added with food, just not near as much.
