I never asked this before but are you drip acclimating your fish? Or just floating and dumping?

Is that your goby? Either Something spooked him and made em jump or he was under alot of stress for some reason....could be tank related

Well yes I drip acclimate them for at least an hour.

I don't even know how he jumped through the mesh??? He had to like force himself through. This is the second time he's jumped out. When I bought him he was in the wrong tank in the store - I should have known he'd continue to jump.

Howdy,

I don't have any full tank pictures at this time but felt it's been a second since I've done an update. I find myself at work right now without a computer because my boss took mine as his wasn't working so what better time haha.

My tank is doing OUTSTANDING I've managed to control my nitrates but switching to biweekly water changes. This keeps my nitrates about 2/3.

I have an auto feeder which feeds in the morning and I feed mysis at night.

My clown fish are all super healthy now after feeding medicated mysis.

I've been quarantining two new fish for this tank. A orchid Dottyback and a lawnmower blenny. They're at about 3 weeks now and will be out of copper Friday and into just second dosage of general cure for external worms. This has been my focus lately hence why no major updates. This has been a huge learning curve for me. I've lost several fish in QT as I've had a lot to learn. After these fish are entered into my DT I'll be fragging my current corals.

Half pint sleeps in the wildest positions lol

I guess the most major change ive gone through is an automatic salt water making center. I got a 55 gallon drum for 15 dollars and couldn't resist. It housed vegetable oil before so I soaked in vinegar for a while and rinsed hundred of times. It has a smell still but holds 0 TDS water !

I added a jebao dcp 4000 which allows me to use a 30 foot vinyl to never have to carry buckets to my tanks again!!

I think that's all for now !

I am struggling with low nitrates again....

My zoa's are not fully extended :(

I have six fish, run my skimmer part time and do water changes every other week and my nitrates are still ~0.

What more can I do? I feed pellets in the morning & mysis at the evening? Feed more?
