26 MONTHS

Continuing off from the previous month, I was working my ass off for this month and I barely had 4 hours of sleep on workdays until the recent week. I am still feeling really physically tired and I have started to brainstorm for the next year's display since about 2 weeks ago.

Naturally, this month I have nothing much to update other than I purchased a M. digitata and a greenish Glove Polyps recently amongst some others.

The updates are presented below.

Aquarium 1 (1 ft cube - 27 litres)

I am just glad that the Possum Wrasse is still around. In addition, the Regal Blue Tang seemed to be getting bigger too. In time to come, I have to move him elsewhere although I'm worried they are carriers of marine ich and it would spread to my other fishes. 

The list of livestock is as follows:

  • Fishes 
    • 2 true Percula ocellaris Clowns
    • Regal Blue Tang
    • Possum Wrasse
  • Invertebrates

        the Blue Tang

        strangely, the Zoas and other soft corals don't seem to grow here

        something must be lacking

        even the Anthelia is reluctant to grow

        the Bubble Coral

        the Duncan
