Happiness quotient is now down to 20%

I'm pretty sure this isn't good...

Oh man! That stinks!

Those should have had a heat pack.

I had a completely (I thought) white forest fire digi recover though.
HEy man

Yeah- he's making good on it. Free replacements and a bunch of free 3 head acan frags (4-5 different colonies), and store credit refund for the Blasto that survived. Seems like a good business strategy, lol

Tomi tang is in observation for 6 more days- then graduates to DT.

Hanging out with Molly (collective, like the Borg)

She's been through Modified TTM, then 12 days NFG for a mouth 'ulcer' that I think might be lympho, and she's been hanging with Molly for 2 weeks in the 20l. She has two tiny little white cysts that developed on her right fin, but not much I can do.

Colour is looking great and she's eats anything I put in there. Introduction day to Santos (purple tang) and Michael J foxface is my next concern.

Bought some new pens for my QT labels- much more better!

Moved my struggling mint tip torch back to Qt to see if she'll recover from the worm bites. She didn't really do much other than exist in the DT- maybe some personal attention for a few weeks will perk her up a bit

Blastos again

Pulled the trigger on something big too- but im not telling. It's a surprise, lol

Not related to the surprise but another project I'm starting this week
Very cool! I see where you are going with this! but do not put a coral nipper in the tank! I had to remove all the foam I used to secure rocks. I thought I got it all out. BUT when I took the tank apart a billion nip sized foam globs came floating out from under some rock formations. It was hilarious and so hard to clean out!

angel fish who have that extending beak like bite will taste anything. And my queen angel loved to nip the foam and spit it out! So I had to remove all the awesome rock formations that I made. And then 3-4 years later when I broke the tank apart I found a snow storm of a billion pieces floated up to the water surface and stuck to everything. I wish I had been recording the take down.

Whaaaaaaattttt!

That is wild. Thanks for the tip!

I'm doing a 7" tall 28" wide rock face. Edge to edge. Bringing it forward 14"... that's a 28x7x14" sand bed in back for some garden eels...

Pulled the trigger on something big huh? Sounds dangerous, for your own safety I think you're going to have to tell us what it is so we can approve of it being safe :)
