1 water change. I decided to spoil myself. 15g... that's really difficult work. >.>😑
But first.

This is one angry chalice.
Another mean eye in the making. Kind of scares me. I don't know why...

14k light

Happy to see my pink is gaining health back after relentlessly being finned by the tangs.

A chalice of some kind. I don't know what... So I am about to call it Wrassehole chalice.
Where did you buy it from? I like it a lot.

Was that your go-to, favorite LFS?

Yes it was.


I really hate hearing local fish stores closing...
A lot happened in his life. I mean he was struck by metaphorically a hurricane, typhoon, earthquake, volcano.

His wife passed away and after that, one nasty event after another. He's stuck with a lot of debt while his wife's family took everything. So, he's been suffering

Featherworm on goni... i dabbed ut with glue and the goni doesnt approve... wonder if i should just let them be.... but the cbb keeps trying to nab it and fails. So, thats added stress on the goni as well.

I'm mixing 30g, right now, for a w/c on pond. Im doing it tonight! Then I will change the last 90g into the "other" tank(50% w/c!) , by the end of this weekend. And clean the glass. Need to razor blade the entire thing, can barely see into it. But the fish are so cute, Desjardini finds little clean patches to peek at me through...

I seriously think they enjoy watching us. And the moment you notice they are... They swim off acting like nothing was going on. Except tangs... They will make sure you know they are making eye contact. And cbb's...

Thank you. But I cannot deny it is a mess. It might all be in my mind. What do I know? I'm not a psychic....


I feel like my coral and nem is telling me to go away :(

It's kinda creepy...
But then I find myself sneaking up on them and peeking at them from around the corner, so who am I to talk..
I swear they can spot me from 15' away, in both tank and pond, when I'm trying to be sneaky..
They are always on the lookout for you. They even have a crew member to signal when you are spotted. I am not kidding.

I think this goni is going to be gone.

Wrasse kept attacking it, and i dont know why. Infection kicked in and lots of flesh peeled right off. Did peroxide 5m, iodine 15, cipro 30m. I only had a small portion left. I'll grab neosporin later tonight. Did move the goni from the wrasses swim zone. Heres to hoping for recovery and not another expensive frag plug.
