Would you be willing to have something in trade for my Lawnmower Blenny, that is if you could use a Lawnmower Blenny. He ate all the algae in the tank and my UV will prevent the algae from growing back. I still haven't seen this Blenny eat pellet food and I just put another sheet of nori in the tank and have my fingers crossed. I don't want this magnificent fish to starve. It's about 5 inches long.

Id rather not risk it, as i already have quite a few algae eaters and am already trying to get rid of a blenny! Ha

That's okay. If my Blenny doesn't start eating nori I might be able to give him to the Aquarium Shop LFS at the underpass in Kalispell.

Tank is finally coasting and stable.
Had a few oddities since nce November , most of which happened in January. At the same time all of my acros began showing great pe and started encrusting, i lost all of my candycane, my oulophillia, a lobo, and my larger bowerbanki colony. They all very slowly melted away. My other lobos are doing great as well as my one other bowerbanki which has gone from 2 to 13 heads in 3 months.
The only real change i made in January was to begin dosing so perhaps those four corals didnt like stability. Ill try to get some good pics this weekend, but in the meantime ill upload an icp i recently received.

Sorry you had some troubles. Great to hear you're dosing. Your corals will love you for it. Since you moved in Troy, I tried to find your place. You must not have been home. I had a crash with my tank. Took all my powerheads out to clean, so just had the return pump going. Left that unplugged over night and lost 2/3 of my fish.

Sorry to hear that.
Im out and about pretty often. Shoot me a text next time and ill try to be around.

Lucas, I didn't have any water movement at the surface and no oxygen molecules were getting into the water. The fish and bacteria used up what little oxygen that was in there and they asphyxiated.

More great growth showing up. Now for the real test. I am going away for my annual work trip on the Missouri river in craig montana. Ill be there until june 17. Ive got about 70 gallons of ato water set aside, ato is working as it should. 70 gallons of premixed water for water changes. What could go wrong. Just hoping these acros keep growing and coloring up and avoid going… white…
