Neptune Aquatics

I'm back!

I actually don't want any anemones. They are a pain in my ass since I leave for weeks at a time for work.

The only reason I had them was because my daughter won't stop grabbing them at frag swaps lol. She has a biocube, they always end up taking over the tank.
 
Any unhappy corals survive?
Miami Hurricane chalice survived and I thought it was a gonner. All of the hammers and frogspawn bleached a little and are still retracted but their tissue looks healthy again. One of them was torn and I cut the flow in half for a couple days to let everything relax.
The stylo will recover.

The tank is slowly recovering. A couple of coral I thought were gone had enough tissue survive that they are slowly growing back.

I'll take a full set of pics tomorrow when the lights aren't in evening blue.

I'm moving the clownfish and cardinal from my daughters biocube to my tank this weekend.

The watchman goby and pistol shrimp pair will have to go with her tank when she sells it. She is also selling her fw shrimp breeding colony. She wants to keep dart frogs.
 
Well. My tank has been running on neglect tech for over a year.

I have a new job and some new changes that have helped me dig myself out of the depressed hole I've been in and I find myself wanting to put more effort into the tank again.

I leaned the glass for the first time in probably 4 months. There are thousands of aptasia I need to get a handle on. I will probably get my hands on a file fish for that in the short term but my sump and plumbing are covered in them too so i will probably have to reboot the tank to actually rid myself of them.

I finally bought a new mixing pump so I can do a water change. The doser need to be rebuilt and my light needs new t5 bulbs since they are so old that 2 of the 8 stopped working completely.

The new job involves a lot of travel to the bay area for training so I have access to stores again.

The local fish store owner died and the shop is under new management. The guy doesn't know anything about reef tanks but he told me to make a list of consumables and he will start stocking some basic stuff, understanding that you need product if you're going to attract customers.
