I started up a post to update the other day and fell asleep. So try this again.
Most of the order came in that I ordered from saltwaterfish.com. A massive sea hare, huge blue linkia, naso tang, and some clean up crew members of little interest.
The naso is stressed still. It is hard to observe him as it stands. Blotchy but no signs of ich or anything. I think I saw him eating. The masstick i put in today is gone when I got back today as well.
The linkia is just huge. It is moving all over at night. Pretty cool.
Sea hare is surprisingly fast. I was going to snap a picture of it when I laid eyes on it again tonight, but gone again before I got back with my phone.
Changed out what would be just shy of 15 gallons today. Did some minor removal of gunk, only if it was caught on or growing on my coral.
There were two items that did not pass inspection. Normally it’d turn into a store credit deal, but I asked how long it would take for them to be able to pass. Long story short I’m waiting on the notification that the red fromia starfish and walking dendro are ready to go.
All in all, things still look ugly but still moving in the right direction. This will be assisted by the brand new impeller that is now on my skimmer. Last week I might have accidentally snapped the shaft clean in half. 40 bucks later were skimming!
