My urchin has a helmet now, so there's that.

Vivid rainbow delight

Got one of my davorite fish for Father's day. Mystery wrasse

Really happy with the growth so far on most of the acros. This was April 19th - June 28th growth on garf bonsai.

Actinic shot of asd rainbow Mille. Millepora hated my last tank, so I'm pretty stoked about my mille's doing good right now.

I love my urchin, but I also hate him.

I have hundreds of baby trochus snails. I only started with 10.

I had my trochus snails reproduce recently, I donated a few so they don’t just die off.

how’s your ich management? Im running Uv too - make absolutely sure that you open the Uv every 2 months and clean it as the bulb tends to get covered in crap easily. Vacuum your sand too, minimize that ich population! Make sure you quarantine everything… you can’t Uv sterilize yourself out of velvet. I only buy fish from TSM aquatics online, and anything I buy that is not from a local successful hobbyist or battlecorals - straight to quarantine for 76 days fishless.

Ich management is going well except for the powder blue gets some spots occasionally. It feels like I'm running a thunderdome over here. I'll probably remove it if I can find someone local that can keep it.

I really need to make a battlecoral order. Dallas keeps having frag swaps and aquashella though.

Are you feeding Nori? I would supplement frozen food with selcon as well until all his spots go away.

I feed rods twice a day the carnivore formula and the herbivore formula. I only use selcon here and there now.

I feed nori 1-2x a day as well, and I buy the nori that comes with garlic. Whole sheet a day split between two clips. Sometimes sheet and a half.

this should help with the spots a bit, gives the fish a stronger immune system which I agree is doable over ich eradication (I prefer eradication but I failed with my quarantine/hypo treatment) but all the fish survived.

I still quarantine incase of velvet anything from an unknown source.

Pulled all these out of the inside of the skimmer, mostly from the pump. Never thought I'd be tired of free trochus snails.

Tank is doing really well though. Carx is dialed in. Po4 had got to .30. Ive dropped to to .1 with a bit of gfo. Still having to dose nitrates daily

Had always wanted an acanthophyllia.

Diggin’ those acros man that tank is looking great! Any updates on growth or livestock?

No new fish, lots of new acros though. Growth is great on some and not so great on others. I've been pretty lazy with the pictures.
