210 reef - taking it slow

You're making me rethink my nem. selection now Mike. THANKS! Love that Colorado Sunburst.

Thank you OFK. I did a manual dose for two days straight and brought my numbers back up. I have the doser standing by and just watching for now.

 

Tank is looking great and healthy. I wouldn't worry to much about dosing. Once you start getting coral heavy and see your numbers drop daily then it's time. I would focus on stability at this point versus all out numbers.

 

Thank you DSC, I've decided to sit back, relax and just enjoy. Well, aside for daily maintenance. It's hard at times cause I don't want things to get out of hand so I worry about every little thing right now.

 

The Colorado is really a show piece and that also factored in. I'm Im only going to have one nem in my tank I may as well make it a really cool one.

 

I agree wholeheartedly. My problem is I want Iwant I want and I can't wait can't wait can't wait.

 

I think most of us fit into this category

 

Alas, my red ruby dragonet has passed away. It was eating great earlier yesterday and then last night my 7yo granddaughter said he was acting funny. I asked how and she said he was being weird. Although I don't think it's what caused his demise he was caught in a small vortex with one of the cleaner shrimp trying desperately trying to grab it and pull it into the rocks.

The wife is blaming the mandarins but I don't think so, not that quickly at least. Never seen them portray any aggression towards him.

 

Sorry for your loss. Those are really cool fish.

 

thanks MD.
I'd like to get a bonded pair next time but might wait for a little bit before I try again.

 

Well awhile back I found a brittle star in my chaeto removed it and placed it in my DT. I haven't seen it since, however, looking in my fuge the other night I see three more of those buggers I'll have to dig out of the chaeto. Almost makes me wonder what else is hiding in there
