Fishy's first reef tank - IM 25 Lagoon

[kevgib67]

Not that I'm old but boy I wish!! Although I'm still 20 years old in my head until I spend time around someone that age and realize no, no I'm not ha.

Ya, I’m still 20yo in my head and then when passing by a mirror I catch a glimpse of myself and I want to puke. What is worse is when I’m at a store and I see some old guy and realize we graduated high school together.

Zoas have started opening back up. The micro colony is still looking rough but this is the best it’s been in almost two weeks. Hopefully it will recover.

Best birthday ever!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know... I had this one birthday once but that's a tale for another day.

Mr. Conch was hard at work last night taking the sand bed diatoms from obvious eyesore to a light dusting!

Water change and testing this morning. I'm really happy with all of my current levels.

I've had some difficulty maintaining Alk and Ca (specifically Alk) with ESV 2-part dosing so giving All for Reef a shot. Will use the ESV to supplement the low Ca I'm getting in new IO salt mixes.

Conches are great! How’s the sixline settling in?

So far so good! He’s been cruising around pecking at the rocks. Tailspot has really taken a liking to him and follows him around ha.

He will be nonstop picking at rocks! I hope he clears those nudies quick!

I ordered another jar of pods and more phyto too.

I assume by nudies you meant uglies?

I’ve been dealing with zoa-eating nudibranchs ha.

I forgot about that! Springeri Damsels might help some too but I think they focus more on flatworms.

I just ordered phyto last night as well. I typically alternate every other order is just phyto and the other phyto and pods.

So I did a thing… Maybe I shouldn’t be allowed out with only the supervision of a 3 and 5 year old ha.
