This pair has been giving me fits, but they finally got a small batch (30-50) to attach this go around. Attached early Monday morning.







Nada show Tefe from Hans and one of my f1's (albino red spotted green x virgin red)

Re: Contest Batch 4

Trying to get all my updates so they come due on the same day

Latest picture:



Currently getting fed BBS 4 times a day. Feedings are typically at 6:30 am, 4:15 pm, 7:30 pm, and 11:00 pm. Two 50-60 % water changes a day, one at 5:15 pm and one at 11:00 pm. Water change amount will increase to 80% when I begin with solid foods. I have one HOB filter and one sponge filter in the tank. temperature is set to 82.5. I use 100 % RO water with just enough RO waste water to bring my TDS up to around 70 ppm. PH is typically at or about 7.6-7.8, but I honestly don't monitor this much at all.

I love them, big and easy to read from across the room, fairly accurate (much much more so than the POS coral life digitals) and no probe to contend with in the water.

Re: Just under the wire

Although I will continue to update pictures for a while, this batch is being pulled from the competition due to dorsal fin deformitiies. Normally I would'nt bother and cull the lot, but I am going to document why raising fry with this issue is pointless.
