It's time for another mini-update. Here's how the tank looks today.

The newest addition are these little fish from Sustainable Aquatics. Originally I thought they were pink skunk clownfish, but they are actually Orange Skunks - A. sandaracinos. They are fed twice a day and are active eaters. Rod's Pacific Plankton and Cyclop-Eeze are quickly gobbled up. Since they are so small, I'm hoping having them in the Peacemaker for a few days will help the rest of the fish recognize them as friends and not food.

Another milestone: Spock and Crown Royal have been with me 12.5 years this month.

The Clownfish are going to be poured into the Sebae anemone in the 400g soon. Hoping to capture that on video to share with you.

    Congrats Marc, your tank(s) are looking wonderful now despite that prodobio hiccup. Whatever you did to correct the damage, it worked. Looking forward to seeing these corals grow even bigger (if that's even possible!). And that's awesome you've had the same naso for that long...12.5 years! Quite an accomplishment. I've had my powder blue and purple for a little over 2 years now. I hope I have the same luck (and of course I know it's not just luck that given you success)

    Thanks! Some of it is luck.

    The more stable the water parameters, the happier the corals. I had a small alkalinity swing and lost a birdsnest this week. But I have a bunch of happy corals, the alkalinity is back on target and the fish are content.
