@Wes send pm

Yeah he may have stepped away for a bit but he will be back. I sent him a PM to make sure he remembers too @wes84

"Simple" LOL. I change water and add baking soda

Lol, simple enough. The AFR is autodosed, adding phyto is just part of the feeding and I add neonitro at the same time because the return and skimmer are off. Mag once a week (because that is where it falls between water changes) isn't bad.

I wish fish added enough nitrates per coral, but just isn't doable in a 32 gallon. I already have lots of fish to be honest with 6 in there.

Adding phyto is a daily thing for me as well now. I was surprised about the mag. I know I have a small tank but it only took 3 days to get it up from 1300 to 1500. I was doubling the dosage but I figured it would take a long time. It’s still over 1450 two weeks and two WC later without adding more.

Tried a few top down shots yesterday. Edited changed so they’re easier to see by rotating 90 deg.

You can add more fish, just choose some cleaner gobies that are small or something. I have had up to 9 fish in a tank that size.4 larger and rest smaller.

I was thinking a cleaner goby since @tbrown3589 had mentioned adding a sharknose goby recently. I had 7 in that tank and moved the yellow watchman goby because the starry blenny was being a bully to it. I don't think the starry would care about cleaner gobies though, and I'm still debating putting the hector goby from the frag tank into the 32 gallon display.

I also have lots of inverts. I have two spotted porcelain crabs, two emeralds, maybe a boxer crab (haven't seen it in a bit), and one skunk cleaner shrimp. I doubt the sea lettuce slugs are in their, they disappeared day 2.

I also try to be conscious of fish living space. The clowns hang out together in the nem box top left, the six line evicted the Sapphire Damsel from her home in the center arc and she moved into a grove in the huge monti cap in the top right, the starry blenny has a hole drilled out into the rock in the center, but kind of moved on to sit in an empty little shroom box where I move that to. The mandarin goby doesn't have a home and just sleeps where ever on the floor.

Wouldnt worry about that mandarin, mine is always just peddling around, never has a true home.

Inverts I'm my opinion never really raised any sort of nitrates in my tanks. With that being said i have no proof.

If your worried about having homes bangaii cardinals are always out and about without a home. mine hang in the front right corner

I think they get bigger and can be bullies.

If I add any other fish it would be a cleaner goby and maybe a dracula goby or a hi-fin goby and another Randall pistol shrimp. I think the yellow watchmans body shape was too much like the starry and it was chased out of her little home I had created for the watchman and her pistol shrimp friend. I'm thinking some other shrimp goby would work if it is more distinct looking.

My Starry only bullies the Lawnmower. He leaves my Cleaner alone. I'm considering adding a Blue Stripe too.

 

[Atherial]

We are waiting for 1 sticker number to reveal from yesterday

Not me. I got the acro sticker but no number on it. This sticker looks very nice though, really shiny.

You could always consider a psudocromis

 

[robanister]

Oh man what if they peeled it without looking and knowing and just threw away the #1.

That’ll up the aggro. I just evicted my Splendid Dotty cause he was tormenting my Melanurus. I suppose an Orchid may work ….
