I need a bigger tank.

I said that last year now I am saying it again

Honestly, I do and I don’t. I don’t personally think we will ever see every fish captive bred but there are plenty of fish I find deserve to be out there more than in tanks. Species from surge zones are definitely some that cross my mind as wanting to be in the ocean (then, like above I see how playful they are and that likely wouldn’t survive in the wild).

I mean… I say this and then you see how many corals I’ve killed unintentionally;

Your tank is always clean and under a great spectrum for viewing.

Just saw my lunare hunt and eat a feeder fish almost half as long as the lunare. No wonder they are scary as adults.

Thanks! That's the 3x Noopsyche lights. I have whites up a bit, but not overpowering. I like to see the fish colors, especially the M. bipartitis. With the orange/yellow filters, the pics aren't too far off from the eye.

Clean might be a sleight of hand. Had an 8week fluconazole treatment, so now I am just manually removing 5-10 Valonia bubbles per day to keep the rocks looking clean. Hardest is Mondays after they take off over the weekend.

Ha. I added my third fluconazole dose last night.

Gave my wrasses a present. 15 pounds of real Fiji/Tonga LR.

Wrasse update.

Wrasse update.

Not going to lie but viviens is the show stopper. Babi getting red strips on its head. Mine colored up more reasonably

 

[AZReef13]

Wrasse update.

All look awesome,

Just wondering, does anyone have experience with Paracheilinus piscilineatus? This seems to be cheaper than a Hemitaeniatus yet they’re found in the same area so I just wonder how much easier they are in comparison to the hemi.

Where did you find it? Beautiful

 

[Tcook]

Picked up this Comoro Island green-lined parrot already quarantined. Hopefully doesn’t pick on my lps.

 

[Slocke]

Sure that’s not a triggerfish?

They’ve had a lot of beautiful wrasse lately.
Quality has really improved.
