DanS Future 90 gallon reef

[DanS180]

Very nice Dan. My first yellow didn't make it and the second was bigger. He is still king of the reef. Always in motion.

Thanks! And yeah he was nowhere to be seen the first day.. now he's just swimming back and forth as "king" Lol still gets shy when I come to close tho

He will be bold as brass once he realizes you are the food dispensing unit.

Couldn't find my Xmas wrasse yesterday, looked high and low, couldn't find him. Then I forgot about the overflow Lol yep he was in there. Took me a solid 20mins to get him out but no worries, all is well and he's perfectly fine

If that happens again Dan, I've found pulling the overflow tube out and draining it to the sump is a lot quicker. Then you just retrieve your fish from the sump.

I thought about doing that! But was afraid to make a mess lol

Just pull it out slowly (obviously turn off pump, skimmer, etc). I was nervous the first time too, but I've had to do it a few times and it makes life a lot easier.

Alright cool I'll keep that in mind if it happens again(which im sure it will!) Lol

Lol it's amazing the places fish get themselves into. I think everyone has had that trouble at some point. Glad to hear he's ok tho.

I googled it. That fish is awesome! I hope that it doesn't eat your inverts or munch on your coral. Hopefully you can get a picture of him!

So far he seems to be doing okay. I havent noticed any damaged corals or missing parts Lol I hope he never eats them bc he's such an awesome fish and id hate to lose him. He's only about an inch right now. Soo tiny! Lol

 

[DanS180]

Ok well the puffer does pick st some of my corals. Mainly my 2 acans. :/ I think one of em is in jeopardy of dying soon. Also my giant purple cap colony is starting to get white specs all over. I think I noticed him pecking at it one day. Anyone have any ideas on how to get him to stop or is he always gonna do this?

Once puffers get the taste for corals it is very hard to stop them from eating them. You can try feeding more, little and often to try and keep him full. They say that fish only pick at corals when they are hungry how true that is I don't know.

How is the yellow tang getting on Dan?
