Renton's Upgrade

The fish and coral are handling the home construction like champs!

 

Those fish are beautiful. Can't wait to get mines looking like this

 

Thanks! Feed them and they will look good

 

A few quick close up cell phone pictures:

 

I made a change to my tank a few weeks back that I thought was note worthy. I was having trouble keeping some colors on some of my acros (not all) as well as had trouble with some discosoma and rhodactis shrinking and zoas fading away. I had suspected it may be related to bio pellets and have had that suspicion for a while especially when it came to certain mushrooms and zoas.

Well, I let my bio pellets totally deplete and did not refill them. Within a week, I saw some colors coming back, especially greens and yellows and some purples in acros. It has now been over a month and the acros are really looking good.

I guess the bio pellets out competed some of the corals for something, nitrates and phosphates were still measurable when I ran the bio pellets. My plan is to continue without bio pellets for now and see what happens.

 

A couple additions to the mushroom farm

 

Had the camera out to take some pictures for an up coming frag swap

 

Looks great as always !

 

Picked up a couple of wrasses this weekend from a local reefer who is moving.

A yellow tail tamarin wrasse and a super male golden rhomboid wrasse, both in great shape and health, good work Evinskyt!

They are settling in, the rhomboid is very shy and the tamarin wrasse is being shown its place in the pecking order by a large male leopard wrasse. They have both been out swimming and eating so hopefully things continue to go well.

The rhomboid is still a bit pale from the transfer and very hard to get a picture of. Once they are out swimming more regularly I will get the nice camera out, but for now it is cell phone pics

 

Your tank is gorgeous

 

Those wrasses are amazing.

 

thanks guys, working hard to keep thosewrasses happy and get them settled in. So far so good!

 

Got the Nikon out, first up the fish:

The Achilles was flashing its angry colors, cheeks get a little orange, belly gets white and then black ring around its eye turns bright blue.
