I have 2 left. 1 green slimer and the blastos.

No one ever talked about what happened with his neglecting his customers last sale.
There were several threads that got deleted.

Its difficult dealing with clear water. I hate it. Pictures got a lot more difficult to dial in.

Love the arrow crab. One day I am going to get one. Right now it would just be dinner.
They remind me of stick bugs. They also have their own what looks like fluorescents. But i guess light reflection? Definitely different than anything I've kept so far.

I love arrow crabs. I had one in the old tank who was screwing with my marine betta and he finally got mad and ate him :face-with-tears-of-joy:

I'd totally get another one but I'm afraid he might have PTSD and go murderbot immediately

Once something starts, it stays that way with fish.
kind of like fish who kill new fish members. You just know there is no stopping it.
I've learned my leucoxanthus was the serious pod hunter. Chrysus is a larger pod eater and would rather wait to be fed. So he's super lazy.
So, mr mandarin does not have any competition for pods.

Now time to murder my tank, hopefully not.

Bought a holy grain torch last week, or something. The neon yellow is fading, and very fast

Noop channels
A= white, b= light blue, c = blue, d= uv, e= red, f= blue& green
So, some say to hit royal blue at 100%

My minds already a mess thinking about this.

I could slowly increase channel c weekly and see what happens. I don't know if I should reduce the other channels. I run whites at 15% for 2 hours. The rest stay at 50%. The t5's are on for 8 hours. I was thinking about kicking them back to 6 hours. And maybe going blue+ . They are currently ati coral plus.

Highlighter hammer. Some of these coral need a lot of dialing in.
