Technically it was Pacific Plankton from Rod's Food. They look like mysis but are brighter pink. They have a higher carotenoid level

Like to spam my own thread lol , tank still seems kinda cloudy maybe I’m used to starfire glass? Or a result of over 90 lbs of dry sand ? Idk lol everything doing fairly well besides most of the GBTA. It seems they got sick in the transfer and are recovering

 

[Lost in the Sauce]

Curious, did you? how long did you wash the new dry sand?

Didn’t wash sand at all lol I kno your are supposed to but didn’t have a ton of spare time / ability to. So could be a combo of new sand + dry and bacteria free for all

 

[Lost in the Sauce]

Yup, that'll do it.

 

[dvgyfresh]

Yup, that'll do it.

Hopefully it clears up sooner rather than later lol actually putting in a filter sock for the first time I feel like I’m betraying the tank

 

[dvgyfresh]

Well first time I cleaned out chaeto since I moved , been about two weeks of chaeto growth
Refugium can now build back all the chaeto I just took out , tried to give away locally but no one hit up so trash it goes

Salted grass, you on to something !! Jamba Juice 2.0

LTA picked ideal spot I’ve been trying to get it to! Happy about that, hopefully doesn’t move again lol. Need to buy a wave maker for the left side of tank opposite of gyre to make random flow, feels too linear otherwise

Thinking of doing only a cube daily/ nori for a bit.
Been feeding like crazy 4-6 frozen cubes daily /
Clam on half shell / nori for the CBB and tangs are fat! CBB still looks healthy but not eating prepared foods. Pods are exploding and all over the glass, so I think feeding less will actually be better for all
