Ready Set Go!

well if my only two survivors are male and female and have babies I will call you and drop off the fry.

They actually seem to be more relaxed and out and about with a buddy so I think it's more natural and preferable to have a group - BUT with them being basslets that introduction has to happen all at the same time or else they will defend their territory towards newcomers.

darn mike/kristy, i have been worried about that tank for you guys since day one, but i never thought you would have a catastrophic failure like that!

My Redsea 260D is doing well. Had to move it to replace some floor/carpet from an air conditioner related incident. The move caused me a bit of a spike from the sandbed being stirred a bit. however its doing very well health wise, just a bit of cyano from the move/rescape.

I still have my 4 chromis and blue tang that I bought here almost a year and a half ago from someone taking a tank down. I have a few things that I saved out of the nuke job I went through with Erik H's old stuff.

No signs of ANY pests or issues in this tank at all. I haven't introduced a thing in as long as I have had the stuff from Erik so 6-8 months I think?

Made some frags for the meet Saturday, hopefully I can find a few new additions for myself. Though I really just need a few new healthy fish. Wife is getting bored with just letting the tank grow out.

I got rid of all my other tanks. just have an empty 10 in case of emergencies.

Well today is tank cleaning day. Wish me luck. I'm using some crappy salt I bought a long time ago because my stock pile of salt is gone and I didn't realize it.

Lost my maxima clam this week. Was fine Thursday, but looked yesterday and it was gone. Also lost some acans recently.

Babies are growing. They love the large squamosa clam, big hammer, frogspawn, SPS, rocks or whatever. Mama and papa aren't real happy they are there. I think Papa wants a divorce. No eggs this time around.

Yeah kids make me feel that way too.

Sorry about your clam! I wonder what happened?

[BSJF]

Just hope whatever it was doesn't affect the squamosa!

[CoryDude]

Yeah Lorraine, the first thing I though of when I saw your post about the maxima was, what about the squamosa?

[BSJF]

It appears to be fine. I know I have slightly elevated phosphate levels, nitrates are high too, but the clams shouldn't care about the nitrates, they should love it. I will change the carbon/phosphate pad today (if I can figure out how to get to it on one leg).
