Well out of the blue my stepdaughter has said she wants a reef tank! So we talked a little this afternoon and I've decided to let her use my old 56 collum as a loner to see if she will keep up with one. Helps having a experienced reefing step dad that is all over that! Lol :D

And she gets free saltwater from me as well! (And corals down the road!)

And free quarantine of the fish she wants (Plus meds if needed!)

Family gets all the perks! Lol

Great news, proves how successful you are as a reefer.

Also proves how addictive this is. ;Hilarious

I was hoping one of the clan would give it try. Not all of them are financially set yet, so they have some interest but know they cant. I get it. Responsibilities come first and this day and age, it's very tough out there.

Update: bulb still in transit believe it or not. USPS sent it to a distribution center in Chicago and it's left there to God knows where! I would highly advise not to use USPS to ship anything anywhere!

Good news is the tank has cleared up on its own, go figure! Still need the bulb encase it comes back though or if I need it down the road.

The melanurus wrasse has stayed in the sand bed for a couple days. I evicted him today from it and poured the sand out on to the tank floor. Fed him and he ate well. Looks fine, just stress keeping him hidden and I need him to eat.

Saturday is release day to the DT.

Did you at least give the Wrasse notice prior to eviction? Seems like some pretty shady landlord practices..... :p

Na, he doesn't know it yet, but he's heading to the penthouse upstairs in the DT. LOL!

UV bulb finally showed up. It's a bad bulb! Not happy!

Melanurus is swimming everywhere and eating like a champ. I may release tomorrow evening after lights out on the DT.
