Having fish problems lately...
Two of the blue reef chromis had a bacterial infection and died a day or two after I put some medicine in the qt (one the first day, and the other the second day). One is left, it's the bigger size out of the three, but last night it was shy (hanging out at either the bottom back corner or the top back corner near the return pipe) and not really swimming around. It did eat though. Hopefully it will pull through and was just having a bad day.
Over July 4th holiday, I was on vacation Wednesday to Sunday. I fed my fish the morning before leaving and returned in the afternoon on Sunday. I usually feed my fish daily. When returning, I noticed that my cherub angel was missing. It was actually hiding in a rock. It came out a little bit and got some food, but that was the last I saw of it. I'm thinking it couldn't survive because there wasn't enough algae in my tank to supplement the daily feedings. I'm really sad about this lose, as it was a favorite fish of mine, always out swimming and exploring. I will look into getting another one after my tank matures.
I checked my ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites, but they were all in line where they need to be.
The other fish are doing great though. I have a Wyoming White Clownfish (from my 20g), a red Flame Hawkfish, and just added a Midas Blenny.
That's it for now on the fish additions. I'm gonna wait and see how things turn out. Then move my other clown and the anemone.
I'm slowly moving coral over from the 20g also. I moved a mushroom, a zoa frag, a hammer, and some alveopora to check how they like the flow. All seem to be doing good so far. Oh and I bought a red planet sps frag as an experiment. Fingers crossed.

In the past, I started with a Fluval 5g, then a Fluval 13.5g, and now the IM Nuvo 20g. Baby steps.
