You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

[Slocke]

I should never have pointed those spots out. I’d of saved you a massive headache. Sorry again lol but hey I kept you on your toes lol.

No it's better you did! Even if it turns out I didn't better safe then sorry. Plus I learned some good lessons. Or at least got scared into better practices.

My 110 gallon 60"x18"x24" mixed reef tank with a 45 gallon refugium.
Thread restart for this tank that was started in January 2022 with a used tank and rocks. It was an ugly mess that I've slowly been saving. My goal has been to experience as much as I can to find my niche in this hobby.

You're getting some great photos of your wrasseholes. Mine don't stay anywhere near still enough for a decent picture much less a good one

Thanks!
I find its all down to the camera. I have a reasonable cannon but my photos have nothing on the photos of people who have high end cameras.

Well it's a bit of an experimental fish. As you may have guessed by the lack of photos. It likes to hide.

Hahaha! I assume it just saw its reflection and was not happy at all with what it saw.

I thought it looked like it was singing a little jingle .

Probably didn’t like you taking his photo

A Banggai died yesterday. Don't know why but they've been slowly dyeing off all year. Had 4 now just the 1. Probably my most boring fish but still a shame. I know they don't live long and I'm guessing they're reproduction method does not help their lifespan.

Found somebodies who actually appreciate my tank

@dennis romano @i cant think I got the ribbon goby to eat finally! It was ignoring everything but this morning was eating everything that came near it. Mysis shrimp surprisingly did it but it may have just been time.
Sorry photos are difficult as it hides at the back of the tank.
