Rags2Riches - The Learning Curve. 125g

[Scurvy]

I think my guess with the blur is a Solon Fairy.

Sweet, Cant wait to see a clear shot of the wrasse! Fuge looks great too!

Hey thanks bub..
Just needs macro and it should rock and roll. Chaeto has all but melted.

Here are some better shots Cory,

The underbelly is white the length, it has a blueish hue along the fin and maroon/purple body.

And a single black spot in front of its tail much like the marking on a 6-line...

Still too tough to say but I take back my initial guess. Not a Solon Fairy.

Whatever it is its a juvenile Id wager. They tend to lose the false eye markings as they mature.

Ok... might be stressed colorations too. Any ways a 20 dollar wrasse works for me. Thanks Petco... ha.

I will update with u if his shading changes over the next few days.

Thanks again bub.

Me too!

Happy reefer tonight. Living room is almost normal again. Heres a video of everything thus far. Half way point.

I love the look of the canopy. It lets heat out but hides the lights. Good work, wish I was handy.

 

[Scurvy]

It really did come out great! That sump is so clean!! It never looks as good as it did day 1

Havent been doing much with the tank...

An unexpected circumstance has stopped it dead in its tracks. My Gf's sister needed a place for her daughter, Alianna to stay... so we cleared out the 2nd bedroom and made it home for her. 4.5years old, very energetic and smart, but a sweetheart.

I've been very busy looking after her. Could be 3 months, could be 3 years. I'm officially a parent. Foster.

What a cutie! Good for you!

Nice looking GSP

Glad I got caught up. There was some really good reading to be had here over the past couple of days. Not unexpected of course.

What a cutie! Good for you!

She been a whole other learning curve all by herself.

Thank u much. Was a fun project.

Welcome to the build

I have HIGH Hopes for this Gem. You can see the stripes of orange/pinks and greens starting to come through. Every day it gets stronger and colors up more. Excited.

Great to see, it doesn't look like it got punctured.

Thankfully not... heres what it looked like before... itll get back there again.

 

[RichtheReefer21]

Minced some krill and prepped for the week.

Happy Sunday reefers.

 

[RichtheReefer21]

Grilling time... I put gloves on for other things besides reef keeping. Happy memorial day to all.

I've put a lot of thought into this, and as a person who's fairly nosy I would suggest when you do move don't go smaller than a 40 breeder. It's just big enough to not be too limiting, but not too big.

I still have the 55g long down in storage. Idk how the cookie is gonna crumble... nothing can happen until the foster daughter gets approved to go back with mom or dad. And itll be without warning. We shall see where I'm at when that time comes.

I think this may be your wrasse. Nice one.
