Is it a good tasting fish ? I've never seen or heard of it ! My family has owned a boat my entire life and we go fishing all the time I've never once caught that ! I may not even swim in the ocean this summer haha
Today's update - my protein skimmer is pulling some dark gunk ! Which I'm happy about however, it's probably just yanking more nitrates out lol.
My screen is great and there is no way a fish is getting out of the tank now.. but I fear it could be blocking light as you see some reflect on the...
I'll hold off on the water change unless I truly need one - I am manually dosing liquid soda ash for any alk drops.
Should I scrub algae ? If so do my best to remove it or don't agitate tank?
I'm thinking:
2 Mexican turbos
3 additional astreas
2 dwarf blue legged crabs
1 emerald crab
2...
Update :. My 3d printed pieces came for my DIY screen - so no more blennies can jump. I'll be picking up a blenny sometime this week or early next week and I'll be adding additional CUC members end of next week. I know you're gonna say a lot of change all at once however, I think my nitrates...

I have no intentions of rushing on the frag tank or any of my two tanks for that matter. When I posted this thread and got opinions and said oh okay I'll add a fish Ill get this wasn't me saying I'm on my way to the store to add 15 new things and dump 35 new chemicals. It was okay I'll try...
Thanks everyone for the input.
I have somewhat of a path to follow. To answer some questions or statements :
