PTSD treatment tank

Man you cant go military on a fish. You gotta remain calm and focused. Next thing we will be hearing is you grenaded the tank.

After she killed off all of the other fish in the tank I just might drop a frag in there. So I guess its a good thing I got her.

Dave why cant I frag the fish? I only want a small one to watch it grow up big!!!!

 

[dave.m]

Fish tend to emulsify under fragmentation. I'd recommend a flash-bang for the total shock-and-awe effect. :thumbsup:

I was online looking for the shocker that the fish and game use on the rivers to take fish counts. Now that is how bad it was getting and how mad I was.

It's a good thing you have an aquarium to sit and look at to calm your nerves.

True, I was just looking at it and I and to my wonder all of the fish are out swimming around. Where for the last three weeks they have all been hiding in the rocks and would only dart out to eat. Then they would go right back into the rocks. So I am one happy camper right now.

 

[1fishkeeper]

Well on a side note I am not a happy camper. I got my apex auto feeder in and I went to hook it up on my tank. Well I guess I have my tank to close to the wall and I can not put it where I want it. So now it's time to figure out where I can place it.

Great thread. Another thank you for your service and tank is looking nice. I'm right behind you about to move from one to another as well and I've got some good ideas from here.

 

[1fishkeeper]

Well I thought I would add some pictures today

That gig! Thought you banished one of the clowns to the sump? Or just some recent pics? And that yasha looks awesome

 

[1fishkeeper]

I had a black and white Occ that was also in the tank. She was from another tank that I had to break down. I didn't have another tank to put her in other then this one. But I got her out and she went to a new home today.

 

[1fishkeeper]

Yeah the Yasha will not pair up with the shrimp that only lives about a foot away. One day I hope that they will pair up. Nothing better then things using each other for making things better for them.

Any updates or new pix?

 

[1fishkeeper]

I will take some tomorrow after I do a water change.

 

[1fishkeeper]

Quick question to everyone on here. I used Kents salt for the longest time but just changed over to red sea coral pro. Since the change my tank has gone down hill fast. I got algae all over now my SPS are all starting to die and getting covered in a brown film. My sand has turned brown. I am at a total loss why this is happening. On a down side I really cant do much right now for it I just had surgery on my shoulder again today. Let me know what you think.

 

[dave.m]

Test your source water before you add the new salt. Then test the water again after you mix the new salt. Is it really in the new salt or is it something else? There are so many possible sources. Don't just pick one out of the air. Go through each possibility systematically and test each one.
