Shame the bi-colour's hiding, such a beautiful fish
Cheers

He was hiding again today I hope he eats.The fish was fat so he is in good health.The last thing I want is this fish to die.I have bad luck sometime its annoying.My few corals are fine.I was supposed to run my tests today but I didn't have time.I had to cook pizza.I made homemade pizza from scratch.Every year I get together with my cousins and do a gift exchange for Christmas.I made pizza and everyone brings something.We pick names and exchange gifts. Merry Christmas to you to kannin and chris.I am not a big Christmas guy.It is however the time to get together with family.We eat like pigs and I am stuffed to the gills.

Merry Christmas to you as well Steve. I think you guys have the right idea with your family.
Sounds like when the your bi-colour settles in, he'll come out.

Thank you.Well I see the bi color is coming out.He has a few white marks on his body and one of his fins has been nipped at.I don't know which fish did this but the bi color is pretty big compared to the rest of my fish.He was clean when I got him so he must have scraped himself.I know he was perfect when I bought him and very fat and healthy.He is still shy but if I stay away from the tank he comes out.He doesn't venture to far but its a start.

He is doing pretty good.I am happy at least I don't have a hole on the side of my tank.I use a close loop for circulation and I will be picking up my wave box next week.

I found the bi color dead this morning part of his eye was missing.I know I have a crab in the tank that came from some live rock I bought.I don't know if the fish died and the crab tried to eat him.I need to get a pest trap so I can catch the bugger just to be on the safe side.I was upset because he was a nice fish.I have some stupid bad luck its unbelievable.I didn't see one of the clown fish when I got home tonight now I am worried.I hate when fish die for no reason.I did get another smaller bi colored and 2 cleaner shrimp along with 2 fire fish.They seem to be fine.The LFS had sales today.I also bought 3 pales of salt.Was $30 each for IO 200 gal pale.

IO? Why use that salt when you can get much better. The supplements you have to add, would offset the cost of decent salt.
Sorry to hear that the Bi-colour passed away. I hope your luck turns around for you soon.

Well the biggest reason I hate IO, is the fact that I couldn't get rid of the cyano blooms. It was rediculous. No matter what I did it came back, including blackouts.
I changed to Seachem Reef Salt, and it went. Unfortunately, Seachem is hard for me to get, so the supplier sent me Red Sea, and I don't like it either, same prob with the supps, and now STN in one of my frags :mad2:

To tell you the truth, I've never looked for it.
I know we can get Tropic marine, as of about October (I think), we get alot of cheap rubbish though. I only tried Seachem as it was on special, and I liked it.
Can get Red Sea coral Pro, Aquamedic, and a few others. I'll have a scout around though for OceanPure, to see if I can get some to try. Going to order Tropic marine now, until my Seachem order comes in.
