Of course I have room for 1 more fish!
Went to Petco after work cause they were supposed to get in 12 chromis. They didn’t get any in.
They did have a nice little maroon clown but I have to think on that one for a while. It would be cool to let a single maroon have all the BTA’s to itself. But I’m nervous.
And the diamond goby........well let’s just say he moves a lot of sand all day. And it’s funny cause I keep moving the sand back that gets piled up next to my Area 51 blasto and he comes right back up and piles it all back up. We did that 3 times last night!

Gonna be a busy day today. First some work outside. Hose downs and clean the lanai out back.
Then tank stuff!
1-gotta go buy some tubing to relocate my 12 gallon ATO container from under the tank to a nearby closet.
2-setup and get my new doser running for Alk, Ca, and NoPox.
3-pop the top off of the algae reactor and clean the bulb and top so I can see inside again. Almost a month running and I think it has a bit of algae growing but I can’t see inside anymore.
3-crush and remove vermited snails.
4-add a few more caves with some rock that’s been in the sump
5-sit back, have a brew, and stare at the tank.

I would have started with #5. And re-numbered 2-4 to be 5, 5, 5 and 5. Hope it all went smooth!

You guys are hilarious! If it was up to you all I would have a beer for breakfast!
actually, I remember those days!
well, got the ATO moved. Then with the right side under the tank free of that 12 gallon container, I saw all the wires! Ugh.
So I spent a couple hours cleaning that up before I even got started on the doser.
I got it mounted, then went straight to #5 cause my knees and back were getting thirsty!
finished setting up the doser today and it’s working like a champ!
then did a little rescaping.

Well I hope I didn’t do a dumb thing.
I have in my calendar to dose MB7. So when I go to grab the bottle, I see the bottle of vibrant. So I dose both. No big deal, 25 ml each per instructions.
Then I realize I have the algae scrubber going. Crap. I hope the one dose of vibrant doesn’t kill it off as the reactor is filling up nicely.
