Only 1 made it... they showed no signs of ich, or Velvet, or Brook... just started dying one by one.

im starting to think I should just treat all new fish with anti bacterial and prazi just because. Even before seeing anything on them.

Man that sucks. When I got my last order of 5 I ended up with just 1 as well but he's still kicking at least a year later.

I was looking into other anthias to try but liveaquaria recommends just 1 anthia per tank

So walk into a room with 99 sick people or walk into a room with just 1 blood thirsty zombie either way the 99 were infected as well and the virus is airborne. You need to now QT yourself.

That really sucks Ty. Maybe we need to put together a grief group that meets monthly to chat about their losses. 

Another package in and this build is slowly getting more steam.

I had to go with 5ft T5s since I couldn't find anything reasonable in the 6ft length or 2x 3ft.

All the new stuff and tank builds are the best part of the hobby. Thanks for following along. 

Opened up my rock box. Some nice rocks both pukani and reef saver but looks like I'll need some more pieces if I want to try the vision I had in mind.

Almost spot on. I haven't gotten to the rock box since I had a busy day and I also have 1 more package from BRS arriving tomorrow. 

3 BRS boxes just rang my door bell. Christmas in July! Can you guess what got ordered?

Or the light spill from my 90.

Let me know how they fair. I'm always afraid of adding too many of the same ones in as they usually will whittle themselves down to 3 in the end.

It's been a while since I posted anything on my build and I promise I will get some updated pictures but I just wanted to let you guys know that I am starting a new build and hopefully it'll have much more frequent updated.

I'm hoping to make it epic. Got the green light to use our media wall. We took a trip to the room store over the weekend and my part of the tank size compromise was that we downsized our current couch sectional for a couch and 2 recliners. I see that as a definite upgrade but I had to hold my glee while I made it sound like it was my wife's decision. 

The tv will be relocated in front of our backyard windows onto an entertainment shelf and the wall will be repainted to a light blue to match the rest of the house.

How much did the anthia army cost you? Get them from LiveAquaria?

And here it is sitting in my garage 

OMG! Looks awesome 

Reciprocating saw party? I'll bring mine and a 12 pack. 

Old sand? Put me on that detail. I'll make a killing reselling it in pint glasses as Farmer Ty Miracle Gro mud

This tread just has you reef junkies with a glutton for punishment trolling it.

I want Ty frags but I didn't pass the background check. He doesn't even talk to me anymore since I don't 52 week triple dip QT.

Looking real good.

Having kids is like watching Deadpool intermittently spliced with 15 second clips of Animal Planet. My kids are awesome most of the time; they make jokes, act silly, and sometimes cuddle. The rest of the time they're chaotic and make little sense. I hear my kids crying and think it's for a good reason, but it's not. One time my 3 year old cried for ten minutes because I told her my favorite color was blue. This morning she was mad because she didn't want ice in her water. Last month my 1 year old stuck his head in the bathwater and tried to breathe. Of course he thought it was hilarious in between coughs and tried it again. Being a reasonable person, I thought he would figure it out. Nope, he got mad when I stopped him the third time and had take him out of the bath early so that he wouldn't drown himself. You'll notice that your kid has their own personality almost immediately. Both of my kids have totally different personalities and I'm not trying to change that. I just want to raise them into halfway decent, law abiding, human beings.

In a way it's like having an aquarium. You can control the environment and give them what they need, but fish are going to do what fish are going to do. If your angelfish starts eating zoas, then you remove the zoas. If your kid starts eating crayons then you remove the crayons. Same thing LOL! I think Ty already has the skills he needs as long as he doesn't try to dip the baby in Beyer. Also try and remember that fingers and toes won't grow back and the once a year water change method won't worth with diapers.

My nephew cries at anything in a heartbeat so I will shame him when he gets older with my Why is Dead crying? Album https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1357544667608412&type=1&l=d5ce6753be

I think we should stick with having your wife do the feeding. I don't think she wants stuff monitoring her and live viewing while she feeds.

Didn't you hear the news? Ty is expecting a frag of his own so he can keep it in his pocket.
