I wanted to share some very interesting events that have taken place over the past few months. One of the first fish I bought for my tank were Lyretail Anthias. I bought 10 females and 1 male. Since then I had one female "morf" into a male about 4 months after I got them. It took about 2 weeks to go from a female to a male. I don't blame them, if I were a female I would want to morf into a male if I had the ability too!! Anyway, just last month I had another female morf into a male. Absolutely amazing to watch!! It took about 2 weeks for a full transition. So, now I have 3 males and 8 females. I guess I have 3 different "clicks" of schooling fish to have 3 males. Anyway, I am upset that I didn't take pictures of the transformation over the 2 weeks. If it happens again, I will for sure take a picture of the transformation once a day. That would be a cool set of pictures to see!! Anyway, the tank is doing good. I did have a coral show some red bugs, it got pulled about 2 months ago and had no signs of them yet. I also had a coral with AEFW and it was pulled too. KNOCK ON WOOD, I hope they do not come back. I plan on waiting a few more months before buying any more corals to make sure the AEFW do not come back..... Fish are doing well, getting very fat. I did have the Vlamingi get a serious case of pop-eye on one eye, and I am a little worried because it has not healed all the way, and I think he has lost some vision in that eye. I am hoping it heals.. Anyway, I will post some pictues soon of the growth in the tank. I have recently, well about 2 months ago, added a GEO Calcium Reactor. I am very happy with this unit, it is large and in charge. With the Ca Reactor and the top off Kalk mix, my parameters are staying solid; Ca, Mg, Alk.. My next big purchase will be a natural gas powered generator for the tank. I also want to buy a few more Tunze Streams for the tank, and a few nano streams for the coral grow out tank. I also plan on getting a Blue Line and a Male Scribble Angelfish soon. Then I will be getting all the many wrasses I want. This will go along with the 10 tangs I have...
