Irish reef

[Diggler]

Thanks for the nice comments, Unfortunately the Tamerin died in my QT, I don't understand why as I saw him eat in the shop before he was bagged and looked healthy. The Melanarus and Coris are doing great. It bugs me when something happens that I can't put my finger on.

I think I'm going to give up on the idea of a Tamerin unless I can get a large healthy one from a tank break down, so the chances of that are slim to none. I may add one more fish before I start the 3 week avaclor treatment this weekend. Its trying to decide what I want to add and what's available to buy.

Sorry about your wrasse. I hate when something happens to my fish and I can’t figure out why. We lost a female wrasse a 2 months ago looked great eating and then just gone never found it again. I haven’t had much luck yet it’s wrasses except
Large ones. I finally figured out how cool they are but have lost all my females when I paired them. I won’t chance anymore the ones we have are currently healthy. Any new pictures? Pardon but what is avaclor treatment?

Here's a quick pic of the PB cruising the reef

Pardon but what is avaclor treatment?

Avaclor is an Anti-Malaria drug that contains Chloroquine Phosphate. This is what I treat all fish in my QT with. The treatment cycle lasts for 21 days and kills most pathogens in the water, Whitespot, Velvet etc.
Every fish in my tank has went through at least one cycle using this.

Never heard of it but sure wish I had. Would have saved a lot of lives and our heartbreak. Where do you get it?

Must try harder!

I was able to order it from an online pharmacy. If you Google it you will see the ads.

I find it very good to use in QT so I would definetly recommended it

I had my mum and aunt over for dinner today and as they sat watching the tank this happened [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

There were a few red faces when I told them what was happening lol




This is the first time I've seen this in my tank. I'm guessing it's a good thing?

I brought a bag full of Limeberry hysterix to my LFS as it's had a growth spurt and needed a trimming back and was able to pick up these 3 Aussie Acro frags for a straight swop. Pretty good deal if you ask me![emoji41]

Possibly millipora?

Bright green tips

And a little lilac number

If anyone can provide an ID then fire away[emoji16]

Looks really nice! Sorry I don’t know anything about ID frags but always enjoy the pictures. Tank is beautiful!
