A couple pics and all around update: tank by and large is ok. Got some weird stuff annoying and maybe taking out an awesome piece of bubblegum digi, brown, weird, gross bacterial garbage that's also set on a couple other pieces. I'm not gonna spaz and nuke my tank...yet, but if my digi dies my mrs gonna force my hand she loves that one. Had some turnover this past week in terms of fish unfortunately had to move my 3 favorite cast of swimming characters: moorish idol, Juvenile(just starting to turn) emporer angel and most favorite fish...my sohal aptly named Deebo. He did wind up in a lfs here as a workhorse in their sale tank...those were my boys damm loved them fish. But as you could reasonably expect, they did what they do. Emporer and idol ate coral and the sohal abused them and everybody else because...because. So, I spill one out for my homies and remember the good times. Other news, since hopefully eradicating or at least beating back these clown shoe dinos my corals have been moving along mostly, the coral nipping claimed a few as well as the dinos and had a my fault death of a milli trying to catch said fish. Anyhow here's a pic or few, gotta snag a photo of my newest addition a sweet warpaint scoly, tomorrow maybe

Alk and calcium uptake is just under 100ml a day, calcium is getting sucked up more because of coralline...might throw my calcium reactor on after my next wc

Found my melanarus wrasse dead this morning. Mystery death. Ate fine yesterday, cruised around just doing wrasse things then this morning, Marcus the carcass. Only changes: removed an idol and emporer because of coral chomping, and Deebo the sohal for doing tanksta things. Oh, added a harlequin to handle zoa eating asterinas, but shrimp in the sand with death claws doesn't win Clue for me I'm thinkin

For every coral that lives in my tank, my tank will kill 3 or more....I do accept most of that responsibility as I gave in to getting an anenome who split and made short work of some awesome sps along its journey
