So, I just wrapped up the drip acclimation…bucket water was at 1.024/25, close enough. Hand moved the fish into the breeder net and watched it for a minute or two. The fish is PRISTINE, not a mark on it. It brushed up against the smaller BTAs (Bubble Tip Anemones) and showed no signs of getting […]

Yes, I did an emergency big water change, over half the tank’s running volumes. Took out 10 gallons. Why? Well…turns out when I set up this stand of tanks, I set it up in front of a closet in the rental’s basement. Didn’t think anything of blocking the closet…we’re not using it. Well..turns out our […]
Well, water change, dosage of Fish Protector and Kent’s Vitamin C. Removal of GAC already. Turned off the BULB on the UV but not the flow – not sure if I can run UV while using Maracyn SW. Dosed with Maracyn SW. The only products carried by my local Petco are “Lifeguard” and “Maroxy”. Maracyn […]
So it’s been what, 2 full weeks now? Today, the maroons spent more of their day apart. This evening, I did another water change, shook off all the live rock (and thus rearranged it a bit), dosed with Fish Protector in the makeup water and Reef Plus shortly thereafter. The female Maroon, as cited earlier, […]
Last night I set up a batch of saltwater for an anticipated water change today. For those who don’t know, I basically run a 5 gallon “Homer Bucket” from Home Depot with a 25 watt Visitherm Stealth heater and a MaxiJet pump to mix the water. I fill it to a line I’ve marked, and […]
Another water change this evening. Tank is still running cloudy, but I’m being good about getting out all the uneaten food, even shaking out some live rock in the wastewater. Every little bit of waste removal helps. The Female PNG Maroon was out swimming more this evening, and the Lightning Maroon was still sitting in […]
The short story – yesterday the fish got fed a few times. I’ve realized that most food blows by the female, so I’m now in the position of having to turn off the filtration so she eats. This has the positive side that if I leave the water pump off for a bit, I could […]
In a nuthshell, the FW dip + Formalin did not really seem to go over well. The Maroon Female is under the live rock, wedged in, breathing unhappily and rapidly. Frankly though, I’ve seen MUCH WORSE LOOKING fish (see my posts about the Saddleback…of course, it did die within hours later). What I’ve seen develop […]
So, in a situation like this, I think it is INACTION that generally “seals the deal” as it were. Leave a fish that’s lost its desire to swim lying on the bottom wedged under the live rock and that fish will be somewhere, dead, by morning. That’s my general prognosis. Which is why inaction is […]
This morning, both fish showed signs of improvement. I was patting myself on the back for deciding to dose Formalin to the tank at the 1 drop per gallon rate. I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to jinx anything. The Lightning Maroon is doing well. Today, all day, I can finally say that […]
