Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Sounds like there isn't enough fish poop in your system. Try feeding your fish more (and skimming more agressively to make up for it). Corals will bleach with not enough poop.
Stunning, Wendy! I'm glad that you're doing well and that your tank is just so beautiful! It is great to see you rise above the challenges that make some fall from the hobby.
Just beautiful.
Whoah. Glad to hear that all (except that pump) is well. Have you done any searches on that pump? I'm wondering if this is a common occurrance or a freak thing. Did you take pictures before you touched anything? The manufacturer should know how close they came to burning your whole house down.
I would do my best to keep them on the same feeding schedule and food, in order to best hope for another clutch. The clowns don't like disruption. I moved the anemone from my tank and my GSMs haven't put down eggs since. But at least if you keep the food and schedule the same they may adapt to...

Congrats on the new baby news! How very exciting. Babies are more expensive hobbies than even saltwater tanks though so hanging tight with your current tank is probably a smart move!
