Mike's Red Sea Reefer 525 XL build

LOL, I am just bringing beer.

So one minute my carpenters wrasse is just fine. Then.......he’s dead?

It and all my fish (except the sick chromis I bought) are fine and active and eating.

Since it was a definite mature male, could it have been age?

Here are pics Incase someone sees something:

It bothers me when I don’t know the reason why.

Sometimes things just happen, without any clear explanation. Sorry for the loss.

40 breeder with a couple of black boxes and an HOB filter.

He forgot another zero on the end.

I want in!

LOL !

I will give you a cup to drool in, a beer to replenish nutrients, and you can pee in my toilet!

Sound like a plan?!

 

[RichtheReefer21]

And I just saw the wrasse.. bleh

So still no changes in the Magnifica.

So I did a little sleuthing.

When I first got and for a month or so, nitrates were less than 8.

As soon as my nitrates went to 12 or higher, the mag looks like it does still today.

Everything else is good but the Magnifica.

So, I’m going to bring nitrates down to 8 or less for a few weeks to see if that may be the culprit. I doubt it, but now I gotta know.

Har Dee har har. That’s just hilarious. Here I am, trying to save the life of an animal, and you think I should try glitter?
