Is your tank playing tricks on you, or is it treating you right?

Halloween is just around the corner, a time for people to dress up in crazy costumes and go trick or treating. I am wondering, is your tank playing tricks on you (difficulties in your tank, bacterial bloom etc…), or is it treating you right (no difficulties, great coral growth etc…)? Curious to see what everyone says!

This is my tank's first Halloween, but it seems to be behaving so far. It is only 3 months old and working through what you all call the uglies. However, it hasn't done anything horrible yet. (Touch wood)

Well, it wasn’t doing to well but it seems in the last few days it’s turned around :)

So, as most do, I treated myself to a new fish, the Siganus niger.

Ohh. A pair of skunk cleaners. Why have I never done that? I have a very large shrimp now but never gave it a mate.

Actually, you probably can’t see it in that photo but there’s a trio of skunks :)

I also have a Golden ‘Dwarf’ Boxer and a Harlequin in this tank.

I have also suffered fish death due to dinos! The tricks never end, but then in the middle of the tricks I get a treat - my Rock flowers spawning, or my Acans putting out new heads, or my pico looking like a little champ!
