OMG the filefish is TINY. Like size of a nickel tiny. Too smol for my cell to focus on it inside the bag. Fish looks healthy. Floating then popping into tank.

lil fella! need to use my DSLR for real

I turned off the powerhead after reading filefish are weak swimmers, esp the first few days in the tank. And this dude is so tiny. Will turn it back on on monday I think.

thankfully the clowns totally ignore this fish. fella has been hanging out in the bottom left area by the GSP matt.

Netting the clowns and trading into the LFS. They are just too aggressive these days. Don’t want them to kill any of the fish.

Great build. Cool system!

You just need a Lubbock wrasse in your tank, mine swims around and nips at the clowns. H is asking for trouble no question about it. The clowns have never laid so I think that wrasse will have a big surprise from Momma one day.

Last I checked he is doing just fine, file fish things

Thank you!

More info coming later. But I traded in the clowns and exited with a GEO REEF used ca rx for $40

 

[Count Krunk]

Also the clowns will be put in their display tank! So that’s cool.

I’m watching YouTube, need to figure out how to sync up with my DIY controller from leviathan. I out of budget for some time lol so it will prob be 6 months and I’m pretty sure this unit is rated up to 180g so that’s dope.

where should I buy chloroquine phosphate? How much would I need to dose my tank to kill the aiptasia? I am quite sure F aip and aip rx who whatever simply spread them. I have prob 100 now. I want to get in front of it. I can remove most of the corals and fish if need be to a temp 10, 20, or 40g tank. I have been speaking with @Mikeneedsahobbg on his use of it. My tank has no where near as much as his did, but I think it could get there in 6 months.

My hope is the filefish will keep them down, eating them when they are very small in the future. Currently, the file fish himself is very smol. so I imagine he eats VERY tiny ones only, if at all.

Tough call. Wish I could offer some advice. Would that laser tool be of use?

I think it will be for a smaller amount. I will get one when I have some hobby coin again.

grats on the Geo! Glad the file fish is adapting well and least will help maintain the aiptasia spawn of evil once you get a handle on it. I hope you do get the better of them soon.
