They need a high protein diet to keep the colors,I've always had luck with mysis,marine cuisine and fresh classic or mussels as a treat.

Yes $49.00,their floating for temp.
Currently dripping,will drip for 1 hour then into part 1 of safety stop for 45 minutes,then 45 minutes in part 2. Then they'll be set free.

What could go wrong, right? heheh

Good to know, I prefer my Canary to the midas- great color, constantly on the hunt for pods- rarely perches

In the tank and doing great

Threw the skimmer in tonight,it's a curve 5 letting it flow over till it gets a little run time and can adjust it better.

if the foam does not stop after a day or two, I followed another member’s advice and ran the foam into a five gallon bucket and removed it. I started with dry rock and my phosphates were off the charts. I think they were creating the foam and until I removed it I couldn’t win.

Turned out my water level was too high,once I dropped it down to about 5" it's great now.

These 2 just glow.....

Sorry for your loss- was jealous when you got the yellow leather- I'm always looking for something different and love my leathers- odd that one would just die. I know that they don't like to be moved around but have found that they shrink if they aren't happy, so I move mine around to find their 'happy place'- lost some from shrinking but never to sudden death

 

[reefsandrotts]

So ontop of the leather dieing,had a ugly algae issue part 2.... Got everything back under control and tank is slowly recovering,fish are still all doing awesome and my plan for the end of May is to add either a gem tang or zebra tang and that will be it for fish and will concentrate on corals and an upgrade..

 

[reefsandrotts]

So,things are still slowly progressing cyano popped up now in some spots on the gravel. Been vacuuming it out and doing small water changes,going to put a reactor online soon with Dr.Tims pearls to get phosphates and nitrate down.After 2 months my anemone crab finally found the anemone...

 

[reefsandrotts]

So as luck would have it a 125 tank fell into my lap so the 75 will be upgraded at some point.
Then the 75 tank/stand and sump will go up for sale.

 

[mnat]

As is tradition in the reefing world. Good luck with the upgrade.

Can't wait to pick my new Madagascar damsel up from NYAQUATIC at reef a palooza on Sunday.

 

[reefsandrotts]

These little piggys.....

 

[reefsandrotts]

Picked up a couple things from Mike and Leah from NY aquatic. Another great round of quality fish.

I like NY Aquatics. I order a midas and a yellow coris wrasse two weeks ago. The wrasse had sand in the bag!
