Fish still in there?

 

Dead. I keep saying I am done with this one particular LFS, but I keep going back and buying their diseased fish. I am done.

I think I remember reading that chemi clean can harm beneficial bacteria as well as cyano bacteria causing small ammonia spike that can wipe out fish? I love that mangrove mini forest! Wow such a cool look and and idea

Looking good man, I saw Rev gave you a bump while I was catching up, any plans for this tank, or just let it roll like so?

Thanks. Yea, the post went to 1400 likes. Crazy, don't think I've ever seen one of their posts go that high.

  

I love this tank. Looks great.

 

Thank you!

No real updates. I have some dragon's breath on the way to add a pop of color and grape caulpera to make a carpet on the sand hills.

 

I think I've decided to go with a fuzzy dwarf lionfish. My only concern is I wanted a bunch of shrimp and crabs, but don't think that will be possible now.

I think it would be easier with shrimp and crabs, keep the work minimal?

I'm gonna do a dwarf zebra and a fu manchu. 

 

I also thought of my next tank last night. Kicking myself for selling that 24x24x9 prior to moving.

Just glued down some dragon's breath on one of the rocks. I've also been pruning the mangroves a lot and going to get some aluminum wire so I can start bending the branches, like a bonsai.

 

Nothing else new. Lion fish will come probably June 28th or July 11.

Got a really good deal on another MAME last night, so I am going to buy a DoAqua 12" cube and turn it into a sump.

The new pieces of dragons breath with the orange tips are insane. Looking forward to the big shipment tomorrow. That should fill the tank and now let me focus on the mixed reef tank.
