Jessy's Candyshop Cubed - Tank Update

Rate this Entry
Hi all, I know its been a long time since I've posted anything about my tank on here, so here it goes. I basically ignored my tank for about 4 months due to travel/work/laziness etc. I didn't do anything, dose, water change...just fed the fish once a day. So obviously my corals took a downturn. I lost my good acan colony and my big prism favia is on the rocks. Before RAP last weekend I did a 60-70% water change in hopes of bringing home things to not such a toxic environment.

I got a lot of coral and fish at RAP and I also got some chemicals to dose alk, ca, and Mg. So hopefully with one more water change of a decent size and a dosing regime I can recover the corals that are still on the edge.

I'm not super happy with the color of my lights. I don't know what to do quite yet. I don't know if adding more blue is going to solve my problem. I have a bunch of LED strip blue lights that I rotate sitting on the top of the top of the glass lid, but it doesn't really give me the healthy color I am looking for. We'll see. I may have to go back to T5's. Which since the winter is coming up may not be a bad thing considering I don't have a heater in my tank.

I'll post photos soon as soon as things settle in a bit and I figure out where I'm placing everything. Talk to you soon!

    Events like RAP help revitalize one's hobby, usually. All your new livestock make it into the tank okay?

    Yea they did. There was a mishap where the mushroom rock and one of the coco worms spend the night in the garbage can outside (still inside the bags inside the cooler) but they are fairing well and open and happy. The big leather or clove polyps haven't opened yet. But the fish are all eating. Even the pipefish. Crossing my fingers that they'll eat Cyclopeeze

    I can't believe neither Jessy's nor Marc's posts had pictures. How the heck are we to live vicariously through you guys with no pics? Jessy glad to here you got some additions, looking forward to seeing pics.

    Pictures?! We are guilty of not quarantining - so without pictures, it never happened.

    LOL Yeah I know but currently I'm not living at my house so it's hard to snag photos.
