Here's my aquascape

NefariousAquarius · Dec 12, 2022

My saltwater journey starts now! Cycling the tank today for my bday !

Gumbies R Us · Dec 12, 2022

Aquascape looks really good in that tank, curious to see what kinds of fish and coral are going to go in it!!

Great start!

Tank took 47 days to complete the Dr Tim's fishless cycle. Today I added the 1st fish, meet "Comanche" my Banggai Cardinal.

NefariousAquarius · Feb 9, 2023

Unfortunately Comanche passed away. I added this flurry clownfish that I'm naming Yucko after "yucko the clown" from the 90's Howard Stern show.

NefariousAquarius · Mar 3, 2023

Just added Comanche 2.0 to my new quarantine tank.
Yucko the clown had internal parasites (white stringy poop), treated with prazipro and metroplex/focus and he's doing great! Now I will be quarantining all new additions in this 10 gal quarantine tank.

NefariousAquarius · Apr 14, 2023

Comanche (Banggai Cardinal) and Yucko (clownfish) are doing well in the display tank.

Just added a helfrichi firefish named Diamir to my quarantine tank today.

NefariousAquarius · Oct 11, 2023

Long time since an update. Messed up a water change with a salinity of 37PPT. The clown and the cardinal (along with most of the nassarius snails) passed away shortly after, possibly disease/pathogen/parasite after weakening their slime coat.

Went fallow 45 days. Added a Helfritchi firefish that made it thru 90 days in my QT. I added 8 astrea snails about a month or so ago.

Landen 10 Gal update. Using the tank to raise my mandarin dragonet. He’s been eating frozen baby brine for 3.5 months. Had a white patch issue (after vacation) but solved with kanaPlex dosed in the tank and metroplex/focus in his food.
