Your Blue Spot looks like he has settled in. Course you know I'm partial to them! ;)

 

That he has...so cute to see him defend his burrow from the yellow tang...hahahaha

 

The Blue Spot, has now decided to start investigating the rest of the tank...maybe to build himself another burrow???

Low and behold i found a new burrow of Mr. Blue Spot last night, i got up at about 4:30 to use the bathroom, and i find him in the middle of the tank behind a colony of zoas with a new home! Although he still prefers the original one that he has built to sleep in. He is just way too fascinating to watch!

 

Well I picked up some new food yesterday, i have been so used to buying the San Francisco Bay brine shrimp for so long, now to try something else, so i picked up a jar of Full Spectrum which i have used before, and Mysis Shrimp, something i have not...I understand that mysis shrimp is much better for the fish then brine...

I have started to feed my corals Cyclopeeze, on top of the Micro-vert of Kent....they all are doing well...and extended beautifully!

 

I also started to feed the fish PE Mysis...which they seem to love, soaked with vita-chem...

 

The Blue Spotted Jawfish...is getting awfully fat....he is so adorable at night...he refuses to go to bed until i leave the tank area...he just sits and waits watching me...working at the computer or something...it's so cute!!!!

Just doing a check on my tank...I have new coralline growth on the rocks and powerheads :) Mostly pink, but i have found some teal.

Makes me very happy! :D

 

Which 2-part dosing do you prefer, C-Balance or B-ionic?

Thanks!
