Hey guys,

My name is Douglas and I live here in Brazil. Currently maintaining a 250 liters (66 gallons) tank with some LPS and SPS.
This is my second tank and starting our relationship honestly, I have to confess that I'm not doing a great job with water changes. This may be the reason behind the problems I'm facing: Diaton and Cyanobacteria (I will post later more details about the problems).

I graduated as an electrical engineer but worked as a software engineer for more than 10 years. I'm a software development manager now.

This is how my tank is populated:
Two Ocellaris
One Yellow Watchman Goby
One Yellow Tang
One Cardinal Banggai
One Purple Firefish
One Flame Hawkfish
One Yellowtail damsel
One Leopard Wrasse

Planning on adding a Fridmani, a Copperband butterfly and a cleaner wrasse.

I won't list my corals but it is mostly LPS and SPS. Check it out:

Bem vindo a R2R amigo! Desde Miami. Membro mbertalha mora no São Paulo. Conhece aqui.

Your clown really loves that torch :)

Indeed, but see how the torch pays back:

Sorry for the blur picture, but you can see it reached the flesh.

Welcome! ;)

hmmm I never saw a torch damaging fish skin like this. You better quarantine this little guy.

Thanks! The little clown recovered in about two weeks after the first burn signs appear. It is interesting that they insist on touching the torch even if it is harming them.
