wangspeed July 31, 2018 Author Share July 31, 2018 Winding down on my dino and red algae outbreak. You can see some dying dinos left on the overflow. What's also strange is the rock in the back. It was almost completely unaffected by the outbreak: DSC00334 by Warren Wang, on Flickr Same area after it cleared up DSC00581 by Warren Wang, on Flickr Left side DSC00575 by Warren Wang, on Flickr Center DSC00578 by Warren Wang, on Flickr Meleagris leopard wrasse DSC00589 by Warren Wang, on Flickr Red goniopora from Supreme Reefs DSC00605 by Warren Wang, on Flickr Coral Beauty DSC00607 by Warren Wang, on Flickr Pintail (Isosceles) fairy wrasse DSC00615 by Warren Wang, on Flickr DSC00788 by Warren Wang, on Flickr Red fin lawnmower blenny DSC00670 by Warren Wang, on Flickr Bones, the clownfish DSC00678 by Warren Wang, on Flickr Resplendent anthias and some frags DSC00884 by Warren Wang, on Flickr Resplendent anthias, notice the color change on fins DSC00724 by Warren Wang, on Flickr Blemished 8 line flasher wrasse DSC00931 by Warren Wang, on Flickr Rhomboidalis fairy wrasse DSC00736 by Warren Wang, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wangspeed August 4, 2018 Author Share August 4, 2018 3 months in, and I’ve dealt with cotton candy algae, dinos, and today what do I see? AEFW bite marks on my BC Rainbows in Spain acro. Gimme a break! Of course it happens the day before a week long vacation and after I glued a few down. I’ve only bought acros from 3 sources so far. My coral QT isn’t running yet so now it’s in the display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleGustafson22 August 4, 2018 Share August 4, 2018 Looks like you have a really nice assortment of wrasses in there, they should eat the flatworms if I’m not mistaken. Great looking tank man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but that isn’t enough. I’m going to start pulling and get one Melafix dip in before we leave tomorrow. Apparently it’s more effective than Bayer for AEFW.

wangspeed August 5, 2018 Author Share August 5, 2018 3 big AEFW flew off just a few seconds into Melafix. So much more pleasant to use than Bayer. I’ll be dipping for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wangspeed December 25, 2018 Author Share December 25, 2018 Merry Christmas to me! A regal angelfish that eats! So far he really only likes LRS. Everything else gets only a peck or is refused. He is still in quarantine til I’m confident he will eat fast enough in the display tank. All my fish in there are ravenous when it comes to feeding time. I love the misbar too. That was a nice bonus.

wangspeed December 30, 2018 Author Share December 30, 2018 There’s always something... I promoted the regal to the display tank since he has been eating so well. The desjardini that I rescued from a local reefer has not taken so lightly to the new guest. I am going to need to catch him and demote him to the frag tank. I’m also concerned that the desjardini will go aggro on a copperband that I have in QT. Update: got him! Ended up changing my lighting to all red at night. He could still see, but not as well. Eventually, he accidentally swam into the net! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wangspeed December 31, 2018 Author Share December 31, 2018 Latest fish additions Misbar yellow belly regal. He’s got a little lympho from QT stress, but he made it out and he is eating LRS!Majestic angel. This guy is tiny and he is a little beaten up from QT. A flame wrasse at last. Now I just need a lineatus that doesn’t have uronema... I’ve had 2 die from it this year. Let’s hope 2019 is better. Of course, my best picture of this jordani fairy wrasse is right behind my reminder of one of my new frags. Honewrecker Walt Disney in the center. BC Rainbows in Spain on the left. I saved that from all of 2-3 polyps. It had an AEFW infestation. I’m going to need to move this Goni. It is getting quite large!New hot pink goni fragA nice pic of my Potters leopard wrasse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wangspeed January 2, 2019 Author Share January 2, 2019 This is so stressful watching my regal feed in the display. The rest of my fish act like they have not been fed in weeks. They’re ravenous. Meanwhile, the regal might eat what floats by him. I hope he starts eating like he was in QT, otherwise this may turn into a failed attempt. If I see him getting skinny, I may move him back into observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wangspeed January 2, 2019 Author Share January 2, 2019 (edited) Have you tried the old LRS trick of sticking a frozen piece to the glass in a few places? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk He would eat about 2 dime size pieces per day of LRS like that in QT. When I put it on the glass in the display tank, I'm not even done sticking it on the glass, and everyone is attacking it. It lasts maybe 2 seconds on the glass before it's ripped off.

wangspeed January 9, 2019 Author Share January 9, 2019 Water change time! My salinity is getting low because of my skimmer. Everything it takes out is replaced with RODI. Time to get salinity back on track. It was 1.024-1.025. This guy was entangled in chaeto. Glad I had gloves on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
