always ever-changing and challenging us!!I haven't been doing an update lately, been busy. My Yuma is having a baby it's the 4th one since I got them this summer. The leather is finally popping out some polyps, but I think the power of the @noopsyche K7 V3 140w lights is too much. I have lowered the whites and keep watch. My anemone looks like it's going to die, but it is moving away from direct light also, which makes me think I may have to lower the blues too.
Other than that, everything has been doing ok, still battling cyano but who isn't, lol
When I have more time to take pics I will. My zoas are growing beautiful.
I love the colours and shimmering effect of the Noopsyche lights.
Thanks, I used a video to initially get them to host my anemone, it's the second time I've done it and it workedLooking great! I’m so jealous of your nems hosting your clowns!

I played this once or twice a day for 3 days
I just put it on full screen infront of the clownfish, they stressed a bit (which is why I only do it for short bursts of time), but I think it's due to seeing another clownfish and being territorial.... which is why I think the video works. It makes the clownfish think the anemone on the video is the one in the tank, so it instinctively wants to take the anemone away from the video clownfish. It probably thinks the other fish is in the tank too, lol they never leave the anemone, so they have no idea they are the only two in the tank, lolI’ll give it a try again! The last time I tried it, my baby clowns got so freaked out they tried to jump out of the tank!
Thinking about a BTA in future... would be nice if my clown found a host after all these years. The Long Tent Nem apparently rarely ever hosts, so that'll likely never happen...tank is looking nice. Haven't forgot about shipping you a few Hairy Mushrooms, they are massive now. We'll ship them in spring , less chance of temp damage...I just put it on full screen infront of the clownfish, they stressed a bit (which is why I only do it for short bursts of time), but I think it's due to seeing another clownfish and being territorial.... which is why I think the video works.

Thank you, ya it's nice to see the clowns hosting. It brings so much life to the aquarium. I really don't think I would enjoy it as much if I didn't have an anemone.Thinking about a BTA in future... would be nice if my clown found a host after all these years.

I played this once or twice a day for 3 days. Only while I was looking into the tank. I didn't play it for the full hour each time, only about 5-10 minutes at a time
It's worth trying, at least you can say you tried everything lolEverything is looking great! Thanks for the video tip. I’m tired of waiting for my clowns to go to my nem. Going to give this a try
Interesting! Curious as to the shelf life on the live Phyto? That's a screaming deal for the size imo. I'm currently around 5-10 mls per 10 gallons a week so a bottle of this size hopefully has a fairly long shelf life. The reefer blend is also something I would likely purchase after adding a few new life rocks to the tank and a few more in the future...Adding some new copepods, Rotifers and a phytoplankton/zooplankton mix.
I added half the bottles and will be adding the next half in 2-3 days.
I also order a bottle of live phytoplankton. It all came packaged great, shipping was fast (1 day), it was all bottled yesterday in Devon, Alberta.
It took a while to find live phytoplankton and copepods in Canada, but it was worth looking.
The company I found is called "My Little Ocean" prices were good and shipping was great. Website below for fellow Canadian Reefers.

I add 30 ml to my weekly feed mix, it seems to be good so far. I think I will be buying a smaller bottle next time.Interesting! Curious as to the shelf life on the live Phyto?
