Couple years ago I was taking pictures of anemones trying to capture why they are amazing. Think I caught it with this picture.

Tank has been wet since December 17th. Added sand, bio blocks to sump, Fritz turbo start and flame wrasse along with a little flasher.
Still need to work on rock

whats been your best wrasse source?

im in the ny/nj area and have been heavily relying on absolutely fish in clifton...i hate shipping fish

 

[sfin52]

Thank you. How is your build. I’m way behind. Anytime I get free I try and work on the build.
Is a great start of wrasse. Lol. I’m spoiled and have two great lfs. One is TSM and other Reefco. Trying to get fish from remote locations is proven to be difficult

@nbooks ^^^^^^

Rare fragile fish that are hard to get to eat from TSM everything else fish, coral or supplies come from Reefco! Reefco treats tanks with therapeutic copper power and general cure. New fish get added to system but 10-14 days left in there tank seems to remove parasites without killing fish immune system. Haven’t seen a fish or hear of one that sat in his tanks for the 10-14 days. Friends with owner so I see and hear of issues

@nbooks ^^^^^^

Thanks lol. Can’t say enough so far about them

and here i was thinking i read it somewhere and couldnt find it...derp. Thanks

We read so much it makes me more confused. I am really strict where I buy from. Also Reefco qt corals and dips coral anytime they get transferred. All wild caught is separate systems. Not sure about Absolutely fish but herd good things.

And life begins. Thinking Dino and if not it will be. I’ll test no3 and po4 and then dose po4/no3 to get some nutrients in a balance and it should disappear quick

Thanks. Past two/three days it took off. Not worried as it seems to happen without any nutrients and been easy for me to get rid of. Now I said that this one will be the one to kill me lol.

I've been able to do the same with neo nitro and neophos. Had to do 1 48 hr blackout once.

Great to hear you used brightwel products l. I haven’t but was going to this time. Should have picked them up last week as now I can’t being sick.

Hope you start feeling better soon!

I love neophos and neonitro. Just be aware, it often takes a metric ton of neophos to show up, and stay around.

Fair enough. I've primarily used TheWrasseGuy as a resource for learning about what I can keep together and what I can't. Pretty solid resource: https://www.thewrasseguy.com/all-about-reef-safe-wrasses

Hunter is the one who started the wrasse lovers thread. Great guy, and most certainly 100% knows his wrasses. Unfortunately for R2R, and us, we lost a valuable resource for wrasse info when they enforced a certain policy.

 

[homer1475]

Sorry it wasn't "the wrasse lovers" thread, but the "All about reef safe wrasses" thread, that no longer exists(think it was deleted when he made his grand exit). It had all his diagrams for mixing and matching species.

Thank you I feel much better today. Everyone I got it from tested positive for Covid so I am not getting tested but staying out of public

Thanks for the tip with neophos

Is a shame many great left. For that and other reasons at the same time like censorship made me leave. I’m back for now but how long we will see. Many family/friendships started here then tore apart. Shame

R2R did loose a great guy and valuable wrasse resource when Hunter left. @Crabby48 and a few others are doing what they can to help fill that void

My entire job was just shut down for the week as we all tested positive after an xmas get together. I had mild symptoms as did many of us. I wonder as fast as it spread through us(about 16 employees), if we didn't have the omicron variant? Don't htink we will ever know for sure as most of us just did the at home test.
