So I’m assuming the Sherman is doing well?

 

[Mschmidt]

So far so good. It'll be moving with us when I want to fight it out of the tank. Which is a thing I'm trying to avoid...

 

[Mschmidt]

Welp. Let's see what happens when they arrive to @MERKEY. I shoulda learned more before shipping, could get well be an expensive lesson. Not as expensive as my foray into day trading, but up there.

I'll get them into fresh water as fast as possible.

Do they have e both boxes or is this just the clown and nems?

I have no idea about box 1. It didn't show up at my house today, so who knows.

 

[Mschmidt]

Box 1 still a mystery. Box 2 confirmed arrived and mostly hopeful. The widow looks rough, but otherwise strong showings from the Sherman, RFA, and clown.

 

[MERKEY]

The widow is on the left and poofed up and not flat and looking dead which is a good sign I think....

Now

1st showed up

Clown says hi

 

[MERKEY]

Clown found nem and is happier.

Clown also ate frozen mysis this morning.

 

[Mschmidt]

at least something will make it! and it's what the Mrs liked, so that should make her happy.

"title subject to change" is now becoming "the outrigger"

The tank:

• 10 gallon that I successfully drilled! Took forever, but nothing broke.
• 20# crushed coral substrate
• Plumbed into the "big" tank
• Lights will probably be a fresh water light.
• Macro algae
• Mangroves
• Rfas?
• Pods!!!!
• Probably other critters tbd

Nice!

 

[Mschmidt]

Dry fit

 

[Mschmidt]

And the other part of @AlgaeBarn's box.

 

[Mschmidt]

We're alive, without leaks at the moment but our optimism is guarded.

 

[Mschmidt]

We've had some die off but that's ok. I think the macro has stabilized. Plus I'm dosing ammonium, so there are nutrients.

Also, I should do something more permanent with and beneficial for the mangroves. Will they root as they are or should I support them from now?

 

[Mschmidt]

Big day tomorrow.

Lost 3 of the nems. I think it's between lightning and food. They're in the other tank now.
