We're nearly out of the woods. The yellow is eating well, healing and is back to coming out of hiding more often than not.

In the FWIW department; I stopped into local trusted reef supply shop this afternoon. They confirmed suspicions it is not a parasite, but most likely the yellow got into it with a tank-mate or scratched something terribly hard in the tank. I'm edging on a spiny urchin. I've got 2 and they are...

Hi, all. It has been quite a while since my last post, and I apologize. Tank is running well and everyone is mostly happy. Last night I noticed my yellow tang had a pretty bad scratch on it. Today it looks terrible. I don't have a quarantine tank (I can turn a container into one if necessary)...

Hi folks - been a while... I hope all is well with all y'all and your tanks are thriving. I had been neglecting benjieland for quite sometime - and that all ended a few weeks ago when I made a serious plunge. A while ago, when riding my motorcycle with a group the topic of fishtanks came up...

After 579 days; I have finally finished replacing my lights on my tank. I posted in Dec 2010 that I had $500 to spend on lights. I may have broke that limit a bit (have not calculated); but I now have two hamilton reflectors; XM 15K bulbs; new ballasts..... Can we say; FINALLY!?!?!?!? :lol...

they NEVER clean their own damn windows or clean up after themselves!!!!

what's really funny is i HAVE $500 to spend on new lights... i got a coralife unit within the last 2 years and it was nothing but a headache. since i had so many issues i was finally repaid with today's value a few months ago.... good news. bad news is i have been hemming and hawing over...

and he's gone....... no sign nor trace.

Ich 0, Benjieland 2. will keep y'all posted.

Got this from some one I emailed the photos to: "I see some Nerite eggs in there, and in the last picture there is an asterina starfish. If the nerites have a lot of food they start breeding, they calm down as food runs lower. There young have a prolonged larval state though, and rarely survive...

go easy to handle! it's easy to ignore.... :)

well. hope y'all had a nice weekend. so.... this morning we get up roll about our routine and get ready to head out to watch the finals. she says, "hey, what's this?". naturally i drop everything and go to the tank. the lighting is awful, but you can see the are where most of these suckers...

and as well my sailfin is covered. going to do as close to a 100% water change as I can this weekend, and start some "natural" ich treatments.... fml. all this for a stupid impulse buy. :cry:

i spoke to soon... just popped home and he is covered again.... :(
