    Hey puffer, was reading a few post back and you mentioned your wrasses having ick. I recently purchased some selcon to try feeding to my tank. The day after I got it in my sailfin started having a few ick spots show up on her. By soaking her food in selcon and garlic, within 3 days there were no signs of ick. I also upped my feedings to everyday to try and boost her health while she had the ick. Just an idea that might be worth a try. Also your tank is looking great! I Love that bubble coral.

    I saw mine change shells once but the camera was too far away...plus I didn't want to miss it. I didn't know they'd eat big snails too! Ceriths yeah if there are no extra shells, which I'll have more soon.
    Mmmmm mine better behave themselves.

    lol of course they like to make things difficult for you. And yea they are know to be aggressive so that's just something to watch out for :) lol mine are loving the new shells i have already seen a couple that have changed overnight, i didnt have any left and ordered a bunch so now i have a bunch of shells spread out ontop of my sandbed

    so ive just been sitting hear watching my tank its so nice that everybody is finally getting along and things are doing so good again. Paprika and blossom are both out, ick has been going away, fins are healing up everybody is getting a long, evil chromis hasnt been nearly as bad to flash as he used to be. just nice that everything is going so smoothly

    oh and i scrapped some coralline off of the front glass today, but didnt get all of it off but i got some :D

    Tank looks great!! Haha I saw evil chromis go after Flash! But it wasn't too bad. Looks like how Ahi treats Rex.
