Feeding the fungia on waterchange day. I take it out and feed it a 1/2 silverside in the container, so the shrimp won't steal it. While it's in there eating, I stir up the sand under its area. Works pretty well.

The male orange skunk clown got an embolism I think. He started hanging out in the waterflow when the female started beating him up. The bak-pak was still spitting bubbles. I came in one morning and he was swimming all upside down and in circles. 
I'm going to add a firefish and call it good. No boy for my skunk girl. She's a meanie, but I moved the lawnmower blenny in there from one of my other tanks, and she buddied up with him. He's fat and sassy, eats everything I put in there. Garbage gut. haha!

Thanks! Waterchange day tomorrow while everyone is out of the office. My pH has been sitting a little bit low, in spite of buffering, so I'm hoping it'll resolve after waterchange.

Current full-tank shot. I did a pretty big waterchange today. About 30%. My alk and pH has been sitting low, no matter how I buffer. So I figure a couple of larger waterchanges this week will help re-balance things.
Everyone seems happy, even the firefish came out and was swimming around after the waterchange:
You can see the skunk clown in her bubble tip.
Yes, I know I didn't hide my equipment very well. *sigh*. I may do something about that later. I put a surface skimmer box around the skimmer powerhead, and those are pieces of xenia stuck on the box. I'm not sure they like it there very much. If this doesn't work, I may try glueing GSP to the box. It would be nice to have that covered with something nice.
As always, suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated. |

Thanks, I wish the color rendition was a little better, I'm not sure how to compensate with my "automatic" digital camera. There's a lot of green in this tank, and it all kind of just looks white. LOL!

I've had a little bit of carnage in the tank... Emerald crab who damaged a frogspawn. It wasn't recovering, though the alk/pH/calc, etc is finally balanced again, so it had to be moved to another tank. Everything else is going pretty well. I'll try to get a pic up within the next day or two. |
