Brad, such a lovely little video, very sweet music and yes can see all the fishies, so cute.

Question: was it the angle or did you just feed, the water looked cloudy?

2nd question: is the mandy fattening up? what have you tried feeding it?

Missed the clam :/

 

The mandarin is finally fattening and eating new life spectrum and mysis( he was actually laying in his pellet pile in the video). Lol I dunno what music is on there now YouTube changed it again meh...and yea poor clam.... Yes I had just fed mysis, cyclo, new life pellets, red sea reef energy(amino and carbs - its why the water looks toxic green lol). The red sea 2 part reef energy is amazing and I honestly believe I have it to thank for the growth and vibrant colors - aside from lighting and water quality.

Haha only took 5 months of him hanging by a thread....definitely a fish that is picky and hard to maintain even considering he was an ORA mandarin

 

And yea as there were a few - in the end we ended up deciding to build

Do you feed nutramar ova?

I'm getting live brine and blood worms this weekend (hopefully if the store here is still open after I get back with a boat load of coral from Mr Coral woot) so I was going to try to gut load the brine with selcon and phyto and then feed my mandy. Next on the list is selcon soaked live bloodworms. And if he likes those things I'll start to mix new life spectrum and hikari mysis.

 

There is a small possibility I might be visiting Dr Mac (still working out the details with the family) so if that is the case I'll txt you, maybe you and Britt are free for a red bull or something.

Yes I do feed ova. I started off with live brine and ova. Then cyclopeeze then frozen brine. The frozen bloodworms. Then new life spectrum pellets and my sis and now I'm trying to get him to eat krill cause it has the most protein

 

Let me know

Those carpet nems are cool. I am curious about them, but I know it would not be ideal for my tank.

How are your plans on the 3 tank system going? Or have you put it on pause as you will be moving soon?

4ft x 4ft x 18inches. 12 inch cubes built into the face of the stand. And my current tank in between them. Brit gave me the go head to use the front room of the house with bay windows as a walk around tank room. I returned the 2 24 inch cubes to the lfs and trying to get quotes on a tank and stand - I wanna create a large version of hypes tank. Hence the 700w of DIY LED posted above. It will be like siwelks and be a long build. Mainly because it will have 204 LED diodes....and I want the stand professionally built

 

I'll post a picture of the room later
