Right?!? I could see a 20/25% markup for what might be deemed a “perfect” specimen but not 100%. Seems way out of whack IMO. Either way though, be it 5K or 12K its crazy $$ for a fish!

Wish u coulda made it. Rev was there with his wife. Sadly not a single number hit for any raffle, despite the fact that we had 5 different numbers to roll with.

Hopefully u enjoy the stuff from the swag bag. Some cool stuff in there. We will have to do a bonfire at @Fudsey 's house this summer. Bring the bug spray, and the khakis.

Figured I would share the nori Ive been feeding the past couple of weeks. Much cheaper than aquarium branded stuff and almost all my fish tear into it. Everything Ive used in the past would only entice the tangs.

Got it at Whole Foods. They have a few different types but based on the fish response I didn't need to try any others.
Welcome to the thread!

Thanks and welcome! It WAS a great collection!! Needs to be updated though... Sadly I got hit with Velvet after bringing in the Spot Breasted Angel. Wound up losing every Wrasse and the Anthias.

So about two weeks ago we moved the fish out of QT back to the display. Did a 35ish day fallow run while fish were in copper. So far so good. No signs of reoccurring issues in any fish.

The only survivors were the two tangs, long nose hawk, one sapphire damsel, mandarin and typhoid blanket carrying spot breasted angel. Lost every wrasse, the Anthias, a damsel.

Starting to find some motivation these days. Cleaned the glass for the first time since 4/3 this week and to my surprise the water looks crystal clear. Did a couple 20g changes anyway and ran some tests. Best results to date in this tank by a long shot!

We also added a couple of wrasse back to the tank. It can't be the Mad Wrasse 110 with NO wrasses after all. So We added back the punk Blue Throat Fairy that had been destined for trade before the Outbreak monkey came calling. A couple weeks after went in a Pink Margin Fairy. The punks still a punk but doing no real harm. We’ll see if he gets to stick around.
