Third time better be the charm

[Stang67]

Every couple days. Live and prepared from what I have read. It ate a snail but I have my own home made frozen im going to try. Clams on the half shell. I think it just depends on the shrimp.

Clams on the half shell.

Can I get some!

 

[MrsBugmaster]

Gave it some snails and already eating!!!

That’s awesome!

So I am 99% its a female. Still working on a name. She has eaten a lot today and even ventured out of her burrow. There has been some construction and excavation going on but nor much. Im going to try giving her some of the home made frozen food tomorrow.

So I think I've landed on a name. Sunny. Cuz she looks like a sun set.

 

[JoJosReef]

She's gorgeous!

Pretty sure I'm only doing this SS this year, not the forum-wide one....

Ive never participated in a SS event. Is this something a grumpy old man is welcome to or is it exclusive? I do find it more rewarding to give than receive

His name is JJ.

Sunny is doing well. Got her a load of snacks at the LFS this weekend.
180g still has cyano and now possibly dinos. Will get out the microscope tonight. 2 new wavemakers being delivered today as well. So I'll get those running tonight.
Sent out an ICP test this morning.
Heading out on a dive trip on Saturday so this week will be prepping tanks, feeders, cameras, atos etc.

Which ICP test do you use?

The ATI one. I run the fancy moonshiners one once a year just because.

Where do you order it from. I usually go through Saltwateraquarium.com because I get a small discount on most things, but they are out of stock currently. I have been wanting to run an ICP on my tank for quite some time.

I was going to run the Oceamo test until it came to $81 dollars with shipping from Reef Moonshiners...

I try and win the moonshiners ones from cherry corals live sales.
Normally get the regular ones from swa as well. Amazon may have them. Im out after this one so let me know if you find any and ill do the same.

 

[Stang67]

Installed the new wavemakers. They are very nice. Didn't get a chance to get out the scope. Cleaned the glass and overflow and reset the clocks on the lights. Tomorrow are cameras and feeders.

Why does bad stuff always happen before vacation? I think there is something wrong with Scooby Blue. My blue throat trigger. He's been wedged up under a return all day. Didn't eat. And when I poked at him didnt get a reaction. I pulled him out and put him in the cube to watch him a bit closer. He seems to be doing a bit better but im thinking he spooked himself when I was messing with the wavemakers and either hurt himself or there's a swim bladder issue. Could also just be he was getting bullied and was hiding, but I think that's wishful thinking. Going to watch him and see how he is in the am.

 

[Stang67]

Ps I know the 40g cube is not ideal for him so please don't come at me. The flow is less and there's nothing to bother him in there. It will be less then 24 hrs and he will go back in the 180g or get humanely euthanized.

 

[Stang67]

He was doing just fine for an hour so I put him back in and the Desjardini tang immediately went after him. Big mirror in the front of the tank and Elvis and the Desi have been going bonkers at their reflections.
Anyone know anyone that wants a Desi? Ill see if the LFS will take him after I get back from vaca.

Glad it actually turned out to be the thing you felt was wishful thinking!

Hoping the mirror trick buys me some time till I get home.
