JoJo's IM 40L AIO - Please, step into my office

[JoJosReef]

That’s so awesome! I just so happened to get a nano started yesterday also!

Your photo dump is so beautiful, great work!!!! Your the first I’ve seen with Live Photos in a post, that’s so cool!

Thanks! And welcome to the office! You can't see it, but behind the desk on the floor is another nano, my "landing pad" tank for new fish that are sensitive to shipping stress. Might convert to a QT tank and try my hand at it.

QT's are super easy... best not to waste a nano on them. Two 10g's. Change one out every 3 days. Clean, spray the other down with bleach solution let dry. Do your copper/Prazi then observation. If you are doing a nano and have to medicate, the copper or other medications may be absorbed by the silicone.

I'll need to do it with sand, and better if it has natural decor like live rock, so probably some throwaways. I imagine the copper gets well absorbed in the substrate and rocks, so not useful for repeat QTs. I have an Evo just sitting in the office half full with water and 2in sand/some rocks. Maybe I'll use that.

If you are doing wrasses.. a bowl of sand would work.

I see. My rainbow has faded in the eyes a little. I recently moved it and it looked like the shaded eye was brighter. Am I giving it to much light? It's pretty low in the tank.

My LFS has their space invader down on the sand bed. They are running Neptune Sky fixtures.

Took me 3 nights of reading while putting my kids to bed, but I read through the entire thread! I love the footprint of the 40L! Your tank is coming along fantastically! Tagging along!

Spotlight Fuego the exquisite firefish! Hides in his cave most of the time, except for feeding, and is generally bossed by Mrs. Clownfish. Loves TDO pellets and long swims near the beach.

Interesting side-shot during baby brine shrimp feeding time. Fuego sneaking out of his cave while the clowns are distracted.

That is some impressive growth! Is that a forest fire digi?

The green/red one on the left was sold to me as a "peach digi" by a local. Clearly he picked up the wrong frag. I think it is a grafted digi. The one on the right is a regular bubble gum digi.

Dude, that was like 6 days ago. What do you feed this tank man

Couldn't really say! I'm sure they pick up some of the ROE that is my fish staple. I think ROE might be about the best food you can put in your tank. Could also be the spirulina fed baby brine shrimp, pac pods, phyto or maybe bacteria from the Fiji mud. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ AFR has got to be a big factor. Otherwise overstocked fish that are fed 5-6x/day pooping nonstop. I'll take it!

Today has been a weird day. Came in and the first thing I see is the pitho crab lying on its back.

I was sure it died, but then saw it moving its little arms around a bit. So I stopped the flow and put a small piece of nori in front of it, and it perked up. I also helped it onto its front. It started eating.

Poor guy has got GHA and bubble algae growing on its head!

I figure he's hitting max age span for a pitho and just slowing down. Can't seem to bury itself anymore. But still alive, and since it's my little buddy, I'll try to give it some awesome last meals. For dinner today: a whole piece of krill!

He's in jungle camo.

Wonder if there's a Predator in the tank...

In happier news, the porcelain isn't slowing down at all.

And the new lobo is looking mighty fine.

The scoly is not looking so fine, though. I am going to relocate it today because it's never been super happy where it is. Not sure what the best remedy is for a split like that.

He's like half my friends. They no longer shave anymore. Just buy him a metallica tshirt with a hole in the armpit and be done with it.

And a second hole just above and left of the. Elly button.
