I didn't do this today, but yesterday I did a 50% WC Albie's tank, added 9 ghost shrimp to my snail tank and have discovered the past week that if I starved Albie he would hunt the ghost shrimp in his tank out. I did this by accident, got really busy between work and school, but when I did look at him his belly was always full so I didn't feed him. Now everytime I add a ghost shrimp to his tank that sucker gets eaten within seconds. Also I need to go hunt for some snails today, seems my supply of adult ones has run thin.

The sealant split at the back, right down at the bottom. Luckily I was woken up by the dog barking at the return pump sucking in air. Got the tank back today. Everything been in big water containers with pumps & heaters. Fish seem fine, but the corals are looking a bit sad. Hope to start getting everything back in today. Time will tell if I have lost anything. Horrible horrible experience!

Don't be too surprised if the corals don't make it. They're very sensitive. Keep a very close eye on your parameters. Take out the corals that look like they are dying (try fragging them), as they will cause an ammonia spike. Which corals?

Just softies - not many, as I was never intending to keep them, they just came with the rock. Frogspawn, zoas, people eaters, finger coral, mushrooms. Just spent the last 4 hrs trying to get the rock etc back in the tank - stressful stuff. Not going to put the puffers in till all settled I think.

For some reason, my sleeper goby decided to pull a ton of the hair algae off of the live rock and stuff it in a hole he dug underneath one particularly large piece of live rock. I can't for the life of me imagine why he did that. So now, I'm trying to get to that hole so I can pull all of that crap out of the tank...
