This week really flew by! I've had some equipment issues, mainly the awc system which I have decided to scrap at this point. Also I don't like the way the beefheart mix clouds the water so I will be adding a canister filter this week.

Removing the awc will open up some room in the tank and I was thinking of adding a potted amazon sword. The scaping options are limited due to height of the tank.

They are eating like absolute pigs. I feed them 8-10 times a day and their diet includes:

Seafood/Beefheart mix
Hikari FBW
ON prime reef flake
Tetra color bits

You can see the mix recipe in my foods and feeding section

Temp:85
PH: 7.1
GH: <1
KH: <1
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0



Here's some pics from today and a video.
Thanks for looking!

Evening Steve,

fish look great. I especially like the one in the first pic with the stripes on the forehead. All are nice looking fish. Sorry to hear about your AWC system.

Good luck,
Kirk
