He he he. Fish gotta have fun too

[kwandrsn]

Well bad news. It got hot the other day and I didn't turn the,ac on and my tank got to 83. Well one of my chromis died. I went looking for him and, was taking my rocks out and putting them in buckets and in the process knocked my green Bays, dragons eyes, and birdsnest off the rocks and can't find them now. Also apparently my new six line wrasse was I'm a hole in one of the rocks cause I found him in the bottom of the bucket with about a half inch of water. Now I think he is going to die cause he is just hovering at the top of the water in a corner

[kwandrsn]

Ok so better news. Six line wrasse is doing better he is swimming around picking at my rocks again.

there tough fish I found mine on my key board thought he was dead
sure enough he is alive been that way almost 4 months now

[kwandrsn]

I'm extremely happy he had me worried. From now on if a fish dies unless I see him I'm not worrying about it. Went thru all that and the crabs had him and almost got him completely ate. Lesson learned I guess.

[kwandrsn]

Ok my six line wrasse is doing great. I'm very happy he was ok. I also found my green bays and my dragons eyes in the sand with the atinic light on. yeah!

[apet66]

Great news!!! Glad you found them.

[kwandrsn]

Ok got some new stuff today. Yall are gonna faint when I say what I paid for all of it

Neon Green Nepthea

2 Acropora frags

A huge zoa rock that has been drilled for frag plugs and has 4 different types of zoas on it

Monti confusa

Auto Top Off System
12 volt relay setup with aqua lifter pump and 2 float switches



I paid $55 for all this. The auto top off with pump would cost about $80

[apet66]

Kevin the wheeler and dealer. Those are some awesome corals!!! I'm jealous again!

[kwandrsn]

Oh yeah forgot to add they came with 3 baby brittle stars lol and a whole butt load of blue cove polyps

[kwandrsn]

Ok got my auto top off bracket made and everything hooked up. Works great except the clicking sound the relay makes. I may try wrapping it in insulation inside the box I don't know if it gets hot or not though

[apet66]

Your the master of DIY. Rock work looks great!

[kwandrsn]
