Hey Daniel how’s the tank build coming?
I did that too! Now I have to target feed snails in the evenings and I almost lost all my Mexican turbos to starvation. Lost two before I realized and had to move the rest to the Refugium. I used to have beautiful red macro in there but the snails preferred that to my grape caulerpa and cheato.
Luckily I don’t have that issue… Zoa’s in my tank don’t spread nearly as fast as they’re gobbled up. I haven’t caught who did it however I prefer keeping the fish and just going for different routes with the corals.
My new fish isn't nearly as pretty as yours but has potential:I’ll kick off the spam with my newest fish :)
Not much?! That Lunatus is a stunner.My new fish isn't nearly as pretty as yours but has potential:
The Lunatus isn't the prettiest yet but it is a very good eater and swims well so I'm hoping it does well.
This and me finally getting my phosphates to lower is what prompted this thread restart. Phospahates were stuck at 0.7 forever but I finally got them below 0.4 without a water change yesterday. I don't know if people noticed I balanced the refugium light on a bottle of rowaphos :face-with-tears-of-joy:. Anyway it's taken a lot of work and a lot of GFO to achieve this. I assume it had absorbed into the rocks but I think its shows that my refugium is working because my nitrates are around 5 and for the amount I feed that is a first.
Thanks! Honestly when you said this I was thinking of calling bull but like every fairy its growing on me super quickly. It's zooming past other fish and grabbing the best bits of food for itself and just showing the great energy and personality I associate with this genus.
The blue lines glow so nicely under blues. My regal just radiates under blue lighting but because of how dark it is I can never get a good photo.Thanks!

It's regaining color so fast too and in the blues this evening its horizontal stripes glowed which I'm pretty sure they didn't the day before. Unfortunately YouTube completely failed to capture it. So my attempts at video didn't work. Best I could do was a pretty awful screenshot:
The LFS owner assured me it would regain color very quickly once in a proper tank with rocks and I believed him and I think he may be right. It was one of the healthier fairies he had and that is the only type of fish I would have considered. I was very tempted on their Naokoae, Lubbocki and especially their Rubeus but the Lunatus won.
Also random photos:
How much PAR are they getting?Following. i love Duncans as well, and have a small mini colony going in the middle of my tank.
