It's looking as good as I have seen it since I've started following your thread!

Big water change(with actual rodi), marine pure, Fiji mud, dosing phytoplankton... still need some more cuc, but I think everything has finally started to come together.

 

[Scurvy]

Yeah buddy!!! It is looking much happier! I may just stop my watch now 4 days shy of my week prediction

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Wild lobo this morning with the flashlight... it's definitely a night owl, and looking good. Way better than I thought.

 

[sfin52]

Wow definitely a night owl. It’s squishy I shall call my my squishy.

How is Maui doing

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Wanna know what looks pretty ominous with the lights out?

 

[siggy]

A green fluorescent encruster would look good on smiley

 

[Scurvy]

Hey how come your reflection looks like the skul?!? ;Dead;Blackeye

That would be the stupid hours they work!

 

[sfin52]

I agree

 

[najer]

Maybe some xenia to go with the star polyps?

 

[Scurvy]

Turtle knows myy vote for the skull is a branching cyphastra... It'll give "Smiley" a nice spiked hairdo

 

[sfin52]

I think keeping it clean and all kinds of stuff growing around it. This would give the appearance that the skull is watching you through the growth.

I can't believe nobody asked... we moved Maui's skull, what about Maui?

We'll, he came back over to the Deep Blue early this morning.

It didn't feel right having him in that cramped tank and after talking with some eel gurus, I think he's just going thru a little hunger strike. Maui was the first inhabitant of the Deep Blue, it just doesn't feel right without him. We'll just stay away from snack sized fish in the future.

As for encrusting the skull... this is already starting to grow. The glue is encrusted already. Speaking of the skull, I need a figure out a way to close off the bottom some but still allow Maui to come and go. Also, it needs to be fixed in place so he doesn't knock it over. We might be playing with some coral epoxy in the future.

It never even clicked that we were talking about a different tank! LoL Hopefully he's happy to return to the Deep Blue!

So happy, he's found the best hiding spot in the tank. I watched him explore all the gaps between the rocks this morning, then he just kinda disappeared. Once he decides he likes food again, I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of him.

This makes me very happy, now just to get him to eat, My personal opinion is to give him a stern mental talking to, tell him he needs to get his poop together and eat stuff!

 

[Brew12]

tell him he needs to get his poop together and eat stuff!

Doesn't he need to eat stuff to get the poop?

So I wonder what will live in the skull now?
