Sauced and Confused (Lost Remix)

I can't say that I've seen that specifically. How long since it split? Not uncommon for splits to walk away from each other.

I dont know honestly. I could probably ask the seller. She was fully healed from the looks of it.

I think I know what the issue is. Undertow. Shes probably inflated there to prevent being squshed against rocks... why did i not see that sooner.

Done panicing. Thanks!!

It's a very light, clean, white fish close to cod.

Vada is, and still a lap pup.

bones?

Unrelated, would love to have a convo about some aquascaping suggestions especially as it relates to live rock! I know last time I did this I ordered about a lb of rock for each gal of my tank, is that still the same assumption? I would really like to get a nice design with tons of hiding spots etc but with live rock I assume I will have to just work on it in the garage with some salt water next to me, dip the rock every few minutes as I work on it to not lose the stuff on the rock?

I know you told me to come over to your thread yesterday I assume that is here if not I apologize for putting it in the wrong spot!

While i'm not lost, 1lb of live rock per gallon is not needed. I would go 1-5lbs per 20g and the rest dead rock. You just need it to seed the rest of the rock. 5lbs is really more for the looks. It's very nice if you get the premium stuff.

I filleted them outside of the bone line so all of the meat you see there, is boneless.

You're in the right place. @F i s h y will want to be here too.

Give us a rundown. What's the tank size you're thinking, what corals do you think you will want to keep in the future? What type of fish do you like, and do you prefer light/medium/heavy fish packed in there?

These all go into the eventual design and setup, of the scape.

The Only reason I would go dead rock primary and LR to seed a brand new setup, is to save money on base rock that isn't seen. Already having 200lb of long Live rock, I used Marco as the very base and back of my scapes. Live rock is a commodity and a good investment IMO.

@vittpsu21 is just getting back into Reefing after many years away.

I gather this much, which is why I said what I did. The live rock on the bottom, it will have a lot of die off from being buried. Best to use dead rock for the bottom. Live on the top.
