I hope a time out will mellow your clown out and you can reintroduce to display.

I wish mine did... he is easily triple her size and just takes the beating. She is relentless. When he tucks himself in the corner she wont mess with him cause he just tilts his dorsil fin at her and she backs off. But the moment he peers out from the rock crevasse, shes full tilt at him.

3 days in the hole and all is back to normal. It's like the davinci forgot, literally. Sweetness.

Awesome I never had luck with a timeout Damsel and Tang went back to being jerks within 2 days of reintroduction. Glad youhad better luck

Still day 1... but im hopeful.

While the davinci was in timeout, the foxface and yellow made friends with the zebra tang, they cruise the tank and pick algae off the rocks together. That may be playing a role in the clowns lack of aggression upon reintroduction.

All is quiet on the eastern front.

The wind is insane outside here in the river valley and it's a "im drinking more than I'm cooking with" night. Hoping power stays on, I've dodged about 75k outages so far in western mass.
60+ gusts Knocked a 20' x 35' resteraunt billboard down over a mile away from my house and I didnt know it until I saw it on the news! Haha.

Beef stew for the cold windy days is in effect. Stay powered my friends!

I've got battery powered stuff ready for me and the tank. Might put a pot of rodi water over the gas stove.


And this was about 45mins ago when I got bored and hungry! ... aannnnd eventually thirsty.

No fingers were lost in the production of these photos. And no toes @Crabs Mcjones

Decided to try making my own cubes. Rinsed s.brine and mysis cubes to rid excess po4 and garbage.
Added a chunk of LRS FRENZY, and Turkey basted it in.

Worked well.

Residual after rinsing cubes.

Final product, much better.

Hey all... still fighting the slimy green stuff. The bubble has all but disappeared, (ty vibrant and foxface) and my LFS is running $20 icp tests. So I will be sending a sample out tomorrow to get a baseline and moving forward I am going to start keeping a written journal for testing.

Just vacuumed the sand bed, ran tests, and fed nori. Gonna wait for the column mix well and settle before I grab a sample for icp.

Updates to come.

@RichtheReefer21 which LFS has the 20 buck icp? And congrats on beating the bubble algae
