The House of Orange

Thanks, @revhtree ! Like a charm! When adding a new tang, I always wrap the tank and go 72hr blackout. That will always prevent any initial aggression. That, and keeping the tank well fed. I have a very "heavy in, heavy out" philosophy with regard to nutrients. The mirror works great for breaking up intermittent spats. The whole tang gang will gather together and focus on the mirror. Then, after a few hours when I remove it, everything is all puppies and rainbows again. Here's an older video I posted on my YT channel:

I've also used that trick! I also used acrylic acclimation containers that hang on the side and allow my new tang to sit in there a couple days for everyone to see. They are BIG containers so the fish have room to swim in there as well.

Good Afternoon, Heathens! I hope your Saturday has been as relaxing as mine has. If not, I hope it changes for you soon- remember to breathe.

Namaste

I'm thinking film algea. Mostly because at the moment that's all my camera could photograph in my tank

I like to take pictures and play with filters and stuff, but I really have no idea what I'm doing. I need to read up on what "technical photography" encompasses, and perhaps work on the "composition". lol

Get the fish.

I mean, Police are usually the worst offenders when it comes to speeding?

Among other things....


Anyway, yes, get the fish.

Good morning, Heathens!

I slept off and on for most of yesterday and it felt wonderful. That meant, however, that I woke up around 2:30 this morning bright eyed and bushy tailed. SMDH

Anyways, I did some red light viewing of the tank last night and caught Dozer, the baseball sized turbo snail living up to his name as he plowed through the green goblin anacropora colony that I had just relocated to the back wall.

He has been sumped. I'll just feed him nori and let him live out what remains of his days down there.

Anywho... while I was down there, it dawned on me that I never showed off the custom skimmer cap that @Projects with Sam made for me! Sorry, Sam. After removing the O3 reactor and rerouting it (the gas) to the skimmer, I was having issues with excess ozone escaping into the room air, so Sam hooked it up with this carbon post-filter. Check it out:

Did you do something you shouldn't have??

No! I'm the one that does the decorating!!

My grandma had towels like that.

She was clearly a woman of taste and refinement.

You're one of those people who has towels you can't use? Do you also have decorative pillows? Maybe fake pockets on your clothes?

I do have decorative throw pillows and blankets that change with the seasons. Drapes, too.

Wait... So the carpet, the pillows AND the drapes?

Yes, and it takes 5 full minutes to get all the pillows off the bed and into pillow storage before you can sleep.
