    Default 38 days, no water/food

    I arrived back in Japan last night and today was the first water change/ feeding for all my fish since the 21st of November. That equates to 38 days without any water changes or food. All the fish are doing fantastic! Busted out 100% change on all the tanks and they all had a good feeding of tetrabits. Tonight I will get some pictures of the fishes!

    Take care peeps!

    Just before I left, I added Reef Builder and Reef Advantage Calcium.

    No way Jennie, not me.

    Glad they are good Eddie! My discus that fasted for 4 months, reason still a mystery, is just fine now and eats well with all the others. They can go a long time without eating!

    Heck yeah John, I'm looking to do some modifications myself since your lecture with D'Wyatt.

    No worries Dave, the heckel cross is in tip top shape, just can't find a female that will stand up to him. He's a beast in the bedroom! LOL
