2024 Update: Rehomed my mandarins after 2 years of ownership. The moment I parted ways with them, immediate regret. I'm going into a new chapter in my life where I will be working Full time + Starting up a new internship. With that being said 70-80 hour work weeks means that the tank is probably gonna have to take a step back. Because I won't be able to care for it as much, fish had to be rehomed to make my transition easier.
Now that I am back to square 1, I want my copperband back and still want a pair of dragonets.. Maybe after my internship, I will pick up a pair of Ruby Red Dragonets when I have more time to care. I still need to do my re-scape with my new Tonga Branch but they are still curing so it'll be sometime before that happens. In the meantime, the goal remains the same, consistency in growth.
Future Corals Goals:
- Fiji Yellow Finger Leather
- WWC OG Bounce
- Frank Bounce

04/12/2024: 1 Year w/ Innovative Marine 50 Galloon
Lessons: First 3 Months w/ Tank
- 1st time upgrading tank from IM 14 Gal Peninsula Nano (Lost Mother Colony Koji Wada)
- QT w/ Medicine for Fish (Had to go 3 months w/ no fish to make sure out of system)
- Bacteria Infection (Lost Frank Bounce + OG Bounce)
Been through a lot w/ the tank and yes I lost some gems.... I was able to limit the negatives to 1 hand count and still kicking so we can call it a WIN.
Tank salinity bounced from 29 to 37, Nitrate hit 200+ highest during my internship where I just had absolutely no time for my tank yet corals never really showed me any signs of distress
Positives:
- Approaching 1k Followers on IG (Lots of support from YouTubers / Companies / developing relationships w/ Inspirational Individuals)
- Taking on New Challenges being apart of BAR
- Corals are dialed in able to withstand big flux of environment (Growth, Multiplying)
- New Re-Scape w/ Tonga Branches
- Dream Pair of Clownfish + Mystery guest currently in QT
Can't wait to get some free time to shoot some updated pics of everything. Till then the goal remains the same, growth and consistency.
Maintenance: Change Water whenever I remember, Test every few months (Nitrate + Phosphate), No ATO setup, No controllers, No skimmer
Dosing: Chaetogrow + Iodine
Softie + LPS Tank is Perfect for me!

Looks like he eats well, that's awesome! I've only ever had one that took to mysis well but he eventually stopped eating after about 6 months. I don't have the heart to try again. That's just a fish that I can't keep, unfortunately.
