Just some tank pics.
My reef still looks bad. I have enough salt for about 12 gallons so I’ll probably do that this weekend. I’ll measure it out. It’ll be a mix, about 8 is sea cardinal, which is a total size. The other is the one I got from the local reef shop. I’m not sure if that’s the issue with my rock flowers and bubble tips.
If I had a tank for the pallifina, I’d switch them and then move the reef back to the 35 AIO. It was just easier to manage. Seemed like the Dino’s left much easier as well. Yes that’s still a thing. I will most likely just wait til Bloo passes, and then rehome the others. Funds are rather fickle still and I’m not sure how long til I can get a new test kit (or reagents for the two Hannah checkers). I do think I’ll go back to IO salt since it’s cheaper and the corals seemed better.
I grabbed some new frozen food for the monsters though. The angel and butterfly cubes. Figured it would be good for the nems too in case that was their issue. I do want to do a complete rescape, simply because I just am not happy with the layout lately. That may be the issue at hand.
I took one of the rocks with a little bubble tips out and moved it to the 10 gallon. No substrate. I need a filter now. The hang on backs were both leaky :( and noisy. I’ll find a powerhead to use, I have an old mp10 laying around.
My painting is slower than I hoped. I need to finish so I can list it. Still going through Judy’s things and since no one has come by for her dresses we will donate. My priority has been the girls. They’re itchy (fleas) and poor River has allergies. Melody is getting some irritated spots too. Soon as I sell the art I’ll get some Seresto collars. The baths, and sprays and such don’t work and the drops is why River is so sensitive. It irritated her poor skin.
Speaking of Riv, she turned 13 the other day! She’s getting old.
Anywho, pics of the reef, the 10, and the fresh setups.
FTS.
The only nem with any color is in the barnacle. Still bleached. But the others all look much worse.
This one was huge. Not sure why they’re all so mad.
This looks ok ish.
That one stupid aiptasia still won’t leave. There’s also a rock flower in there and on the back side another bleached very small BTA
The worse of the swilled rock flowers.
Also puffy.
Most of them around the zoas are puffy. Maybe palytoxin?
This one’s further in the back. This is my oldest. And he’s starting to puff up as of this morning.
Way in the back, these seem ok.
10 gallon. I haven’t seen the BTA this morning.
Flex with pallifina pair. Will probably rehome.
35 with Bloo and a few kids.
20 gallon with a sparkling gourami and Picssso who’s not doing well.
Bloo’s wife
Reaearch!
