Well I've had my Banggai for 6 days now and noticed today he's laying on the bottom. All other fish and coral are doing fine. Parameters are all good. 0 ammonia, Trites and Trates. I suspect he has not been eating. Never saw him eat at all. Spits out everything. Flakes, reef frenzy frozen, Cyclop-eeze. No Qt tank. I hate when fish die for no apparent reason.

He didn't make it. Literally died within an hour of noticing him on the bottom. Got stuck in court with a BS traffic ticket. Not a good day in Tonys world today even though I'll go to driving school to remove it from my driving record. Police are drunk with power here. Sorry for the rant.

Hey. I finished defensive driving yesterday! Sorry about your cardinal. I hope things in the life of Tony look up soon.

Thanks Jordan! I drive for a living so I'm on thin ice now. No more new additions for fish for me. 5 will have to do.

Thanks Jordan, Kevin will be helping me out. He has awesome DIY skills and he's an electrician so he's really going to help me with the lights. Also building the sump for me. I'm excited and worried at the same time. I have a lot of coral that I don't want to lose.

I bet! My brother moved all of his corals and fish 8 hours in triple digit weather and didn't lose anything. So hopefully you'll be okay.

I don't have any DIY skills. I wish! Lol. Good luck.

I'm so excited for you! Sounds like an amazing set up and I LOVE rimless tanks. Can't wait to follow your next build thread.
