Bro they are ripping you off 80 and 120 dollars for misty gray torches
It is annoying how much blue they use haha. But sure I could buy my torches from WWC instead. I’ll just go to the bank and beg them for a loan ;) :face-with-tears-of-joy:

I see TG is selling a single head of a dragon soul for 275….

Move to the UK!
I got one head of Dragon Soul (More likely hellfire) for £80 - $100. And now that one head looks as though it’s Atleast 3 heads only 3 weeks into the tank.

Oh and let’s not forget how many of the LFSs cant actually ID some fish so we get rare fish for cheap prices (Obviously I tell them after I buy it as if I didn’t know what it was) ;)

And that they can’t tell a healthy wrasse from an unhealthy wrasse :rolleyes: Yesterday drove all way to TSA because they said they had a nice Cirrhilabrus lubbocki, and when I show up the lubbocki has missing scales and ripped fins and is housed with a dottyback….I swear these are basically just excuses now I can’t believe I can’t add a wrasse to my tank :rolleyes: Sorry to keep you all waiting

What variant was it?
Such a shame to hear this, we’re lucky over here as our LFSs tend to actually care about fish deaths and try to avoid them in all ways possible.

Did a water change and gravel vac. Got as much cyano as I could but many many spaghetti worms were killed in the process unfortunately. Also have decided to just run red light on my refugium for a few days. Hopefully that will prevent cyano growth while keeping my green macros alive.

Also whats with Hanna putting only like 5 bags of reagent in their [HASH=76826]#$%@ing[/HASH] expensive test kits?!

Sal 35ppm
Tem 80F
ALK 9.9dKH
PO4 0.09ppm
NO3 0.0ppm
Ca 470ppm
Mg 1290ppm

As feared the nitrates have bottomed out. I assume the cyano is just using it all up.
And when you dose nitrates your phosphates will drop probably.

I thought they came with 10 usually... Either way, it's super annoying.

Thanks I think I’ll pick up nitrate today

You’re right
It annoyed me more with the phosphate because I messed up the first couple tests

Love the galaxia! I have never tried to keep one being afraid of the tentacles, but I am tempted to try one out soon.
They're in the corner for a reason but they are beautiful!

Well the magician zoas dissapeared overnight. Im guessing an urchin ripped it off and the pistol shrimp pulled it into its den.

In other news I've been thinking of a fish naming theme. A long time ago I was going to do greek mythology but now I'm thinking Pokemon. Super nerdy I know but it makes things easier.
