Buce flowering underwater again
Third spike this year. People say it's stress, I say it's showing off. Kept at 22°C, lean dosing, and it just keeps going.
Feed
Culling isn't cruel, it's the hobby
Your bloody marys look washed out because nobody culled for six generations. Keep a culls tank, sell them as feeders or ghosts, keep the line tight.
Figure-8 puffer setup finished
Went full brackish paludarium, SG 1.005, mangrove props, oyster shell substrate. The little guy hunts snails like a tiny shark.
Rainbow shipment came in gorgeous
Boesemani males coloring up already after quarantine. These are the best I've had in two years of importing.
Friday night frag drop schedule
Going forward: drops every Friday 9pm sharp. Set your alarms, the good torches go in minutes.
TDS creep is real
PSA for new keepers: your TDS doesn't lie. If it's climbing between water changes you're overfeeding. My racks stay at 140 within ±5 and molts are clean.
Ranchu winter prep
Dropping the ponds to maintenance feeding this week. Wheat germ only under 16°C. Your ranchu will thank you in spring.
Torch garden tour
Twelve heads and counting. The dragon souls have doubled since March. Feeding reef roids twice a week under 250 PAR.
Why I stopped selling unsexed pairs
After two years of refund headaches I only sell vent-sexed or proven pairs now. It costs me time but reviews speak for themselves.
