Not sure if I have mentioned it on this thread yet but big mama has become a terror in the tank. Beating up anything that moves. The poor kole tangs fins are shredded and it’s developed a case of ich. Most likely due to the constant stress. 
 

Solution. Bigger fuge for mama to live in. I’m thinking something along the lines of a 29g. Easy swap with the 10g. Should happen this week sometime.

Clowns are the meanest damselfish for sure... Darn, sounds like you'll need to get everyone out to treat was well, don't know if I can recommend management in a DT after a visible outbreak -too many trophonts in the water.

Helped out with local tank shutdown today and ended up with a baby coral beauty. Came home to my kole tang beaten up badly. Netted her and put her in the fuge until I switch the 10g Fuge for a 40g sometime next week. 
 

Nobody paying any attention to the coral beauty so that’s a good sign.

I imagine the clarkii had a tantrum?

Anything that can cow a pomacentrid like it did in that video's going to be too mean to fight back against.

Ya she started picking on it last week...

Tore down the 10 gallon fuge today.

 

In its place a 40 gallon breeder plumbed with an eshopps eclipse L. I forgot how incredibly quiet these overflows are. What a difference.

 

It was a huge pain in the ass and my back hurts but it’s all done. Aside from having to make more water after not making enough and spilling a bucket of sand on the floor, it went okay. Did I mention my back hurts?

 

I’ll need some more lights however!

I did it! I got Big Mama! Her love for frozen brine was her downfall. She is now In the 40 gallon and promptly moved herself into the BTA. The tiny baby maroon objected by taking a few runs at her and nipping big mamas fins. Quickly, the maroon submitted and now they both share a home. I’ll admit I was EXTREMELY nervous for the baby clown but things look quite well.

 

Here is our happy girl enjoying her new home.

i would imagine the maroon might start going after the clarkii when it grows up...

Oh probably, gonna take 10 years to catch up to big mama size though.

It’s important to stay positive. Especially during this crazy year we’re all having.
