Rags2Riches - The Learning Curve. 125g

Rooted against him for 20 years... Then life kicked him in the crotch like it does the rest of us and so Ive been rooting for him ever since. That win will go down as the greatest comeback story ever and IMO surpasses Jack in 86 as the Masters signature moment.

He did for our generation of golf, the same that Jack and Arnie did for golf in their generation. Couldnt be happier to see him back roaring again.

My girl made this this morning for a baby shower she is at today....

So happy I tried this...

Night feeding under 5% blue, 2% whites.. I think it's safe to say the gorg is a happy camper.

Flash on:

Proud moment. My first cup of sump skim. Num num num.

He backed out. Almost had three 4 months old nero 5's in trade for my xf250s. The one that got away.

Havent seen the midas blenny in 5 days since I first rediscovered him... sigh

Sounds like the Gobies I see once every couple of weeks.... bums me out.

Was my girls favorite too. Bummed. Hope he makes it and comes out. Havent seen during feeding either.

Gobies and some blennies are very surprising fish.

I had an orange striped prawn goby for years. I took all the rock out and switched it to a different tank. Didn't see him, not in the sand either.

Three days later he is out and about in the new tank.

My current yellow watchmen goby I see about 1 time a week. He is really tiny.

Some fish just like to stay in the rocks

Thanks for stopping in. I am leaning towards an injury of sorts during the move. Prior to this, he was out swimming every day. Interacted with me etc. Something is up for sure.

@NY_Caveman

Here is a good post for a video. Me feeding my cleaner shrimp his own krill first so he leaves my nem alone to feed in peace. Hehe.

 

[RichtheReefer21]

So I have collected and cleaned some stuff. Mostly for my QT and my old setup before the sump.

Thought I would offer items here in my thread for friends before I post up in the dry good fs forum.

Aqueon 400 canister
40g whisper hob adjustable filter
30g aqueon hob filter
Remora S AquaC hob skimmer w/ working pump.
50w submersible auto 78° aqueon heater
Sicce Nano Voyager 1k Liters per hour or so
Also, a 3600gph pivoting, dual head combo circulation pump seen below in the pic. (Forgot it in the video)

Make me an offer and we can work out shipping. Thanks for looking!

PM me with offers please.

Know anyone looking to startup a QT?
(If yes read post before this one please)
I'm sorry in advance. I know I may have abused that tag here. But I've been out of a job for 5 months and trying to make ends meet.

I feel like a gambler with a problem or something. LoL

Changed carbon and added 1cup of Phosban pellets to the drain section tonight. Will check po4 daily starting tomorrow night to see the speed of removal.

 

[RichtheReefer21]

Threw a 4" filter sock on the primary drain in the sump. And like a rookie, never rinsed it. Skimmer went nuts. Debris in the water. Smh... rookie.

I'm gonna wait a week to test po4 and see if theres been any serious results from adding phosban and the sock. We shall see.

In other news... 2 fire fish need to be rehomed after a bully harem of damsels have beaten them up pretty bad in a friends tank. Picked up some fresh matrix and prepping the canister for setting the QT up, also have my lfs shopping Squam Anthias for me. 1 male and 3 females to be added. All will go thru a 40day QT before I introduce them all together in the DT.

Wish me luck friends

QT is Ready to rock and roll.

 

[RichtheReefer21]

Yarrr I lost me claw back in the great battle for Blackwater outside the harbor of Kings Landing.... but the Lord of Light will grant me another one soon.
