Good luck!Time to catch the filefish.... It's eaten it's fill and peed off some zoa's!
No dice so far. Got the long nose hawkfish and Anthias in the trap, just got to work. Will give it a few days.Good luck!
Nice tank! I hope that filefish works out, when I added mine I slowly started loosing zoa's and gorgonians... it took a couple months before I noticed and another couple weeks for my puny little brain to pin it on the filefish! + side was zero aiptasia. I rehomed it and a year later am starting to F-aiptasia every now and then... I know what's coming :-(Small update: lost the Lamarck's... Totally went on a hunger strike and was gone in a week. Tank may of been too busy for it, it would eat but was timid due to the tangs going crazy @ feeding time.
Finally gave in to aiptasia... Got tired of squirting Aiptasia X constantly, so went with a filefish! Since I have it in both tanks, it was worth the 20 bucks. Then it will be banished to the sump or back to the LFS.
The filefish was a pain in the rear. It eradicated the aiptasia and a fairly large zoa colony. It's now living it's life in the sump. Need to put it in the cube tank, but I'm kinda askerred.Nice tank!

Decided to pull 2x bulbs from the t5 fixture and add two smat farm g5's, as I love shimmer. I may remote the alie 460nm bars, but haven't decided yet.
Gratzi! I'm running two Reef Brite 14k 50/50 bulbs (ATI coral plus more or less) along with two alie 460nm bars. The two smat farm g5's are running in 'mix' mode, no channel over 50% currently. I'll dunk in the par meter tomorrow so I can adjust channels as necessary and post up some numbers. I hate Windex lighting, been doing it long enough to know halides & t12's/vho setups. Frankly I'd prolly buy two Kessils 360x's but I can't justify the price if these cheapie lights will do the same, also from experience hanging Kessils in a canopy is a pain unless you have a high canopy, which I don't.Wow. I like the spectrum a lot!
I also don’t like blue tanks, in fact, I used to run a 1:1 blue plus : coral plus, but I ordered 2 aquablue special bulbs to switch out half of my coral plus‘.Gratzi!

They are utter pigs, the purple and sailfin are the real thick ones. I'd lean towards the sailfin having a glandular problem....Those are some nice thick healthy yellow tangs!
Sorry to hear about your loss but good your tank did well.Not much to report. Had to leave town on emergency Monday evening as my 92 year old granny had a rapid decline in health. Usually I do a water change before I travel but time was of the essence. She passed yesterday so I just flew home for a few days before I head back out for the funeral. As usual tank automation did it's thing and I'm glad to have a auto feeder running. Got home to no issues today now It's time for to cook up some water.
It survived round 2 (flew back for the funeral last monday morning and returned last night) with no issues. Didn't have time to make RODI for top off & water change water, so just top off was made (25g between both tanks).Sorry to hear about your loss but good your tank did well.
