So I recently went through some photos from my honeymoon in Mexico and wanted to share some. This was about a year ago and we were in the Occidental Xcaret Resort. It was absolutely amazing!

Cool shots @dferrari13, thanks for sharing! I was able to go snorkeling on a reef just south of Playa del Carmen when I was there for work a few years ago, it was a really neat experience. Did you come across any sea turtles?

I didnt but I swam with a couple of sea turtles in Hanauma Bay Oahu Hawaii a couple of years before this....it was great

Hanauma Bay was great. 😊 I loved all the fish. Hope I get to snorkel again soon.

The only update/complaint I have is that my montipora capricornis is bleaching and has been for sometime now....I havent changed anything so I'm not sure what's going on....but all the other corals are doing great

I've heard too many horror stories about them going after corals(makes sense, if they'll eat aiptasia they'll eat corals) so I've just been knocking mine out with aiptasia x as the pop up.

Just added two small peppermint shrimp to take care of a small aptasia issue...they have worked great for me in the past.. so well see

I have peppermint shrimp and they are a fun invert.  I do not even have aphasia but I like the shrimp.

Like others have said watch out for the GSP I had it take over a whole colony of Zoos and ultimately all the rocks. 

Theyre awesome looking but your right...they are starting to encroach on other corals

Well you cant only report the good things....so here's the bad news......i fed my whole tank some frozen food yesterday in the late afternoon and I turn off all the pumps/skimmers/powerheads while feed.....well I guess I forgot to plug everything back in and the tank went stagnant over night and then all day while I was at work...so it definitely sat with no flow for atleast 18 hours....now I dont know if that was it or the food was bad but my tail spot blenny, 2 barnacle blennies, and my royal gramma are dead....fml

When I found the tank like this I immediately took out all the dead fish and quickly did a 25% water change.....and I will proly follow up with another 25% water change tomorrow too. So far all the inverts and corals are fine and the clown is ok but pissed off.

Don’t beat yourself up too bad. I’d just keep with the water changes to make sure it’s cleared out.

Not really sure what caused the mass die off in my tank....but I've done multiple water changes and testing with no real answers. Well the new gramma and TSB will be here on thursday....so we shall see how that goes...

First FTS of the new year. Everything is looking great! The new royal grandma and the tailspot blenny seem a little skinny.... but overall in good health and active. Also added an aussie duncan... the only problem with that is it's tentacles are so large they are brushing up against the acan next to it, which is pissing off both parties lol

Dang, sorry to hear about your disaster but I'm glad things are on the road to recovery. I definitely know that sinking feeling when you realize you've shot yourself in the foot and there's nothing to be done about it. I've done it more than once unfortunately. But it does make the recovery that much nicer 🙂
