Mark's 180 Starfire upgrade

[mpoletti]

Mark have you tried clams on a half shell. I know they sell them frozen now.

Not yet, I got the call at 11:00 yesterday afternoon and by 1:00, I was back at my desk. I am soaking some PE mysis and brine with garlic today and I plan on stopping by the lfs and picking up some other goodies after work today. I eggcrated off the corner of my shallow tank so she has about 20"X15" to swim freely. I also places a couple rocks with plenty of sponges and a frag of zoas in there as well

:hammer:

Considering the jocs tower over it, I will have it in QT as long as I can. The shallow system is stable and has lower temperatures so there is no rush. I just want to make sure she is eating well before I make any decisions of moving here or leaving her in there long term.

 

[Dejavu]

I think she'll be fine with the Jocs. But like you said there's no reason to rush things.

My jocs are the kings of the tank. They gang up on the mystery wrasse all the time :uzi:

Cool new fish - good luck with that!

Quick Q: I noticed you have a radiant wrasse in your tank (or at least did as of your last FTS). How has it reacted to you removing the sand?

I have not had the radiant for 6+ months. Thanks
