🐠 Max's Reef Paradise - 75 Gallon

Aquarium started

Started quarantine for new Mandarin goby (Synchiropus splendidus). Beautiful specimen with vibrant colors and good body condition. Will monitor for 4 weeks in dedicated QT system with daily observations for signs of disease, feeding response, and behavioral patterns. Tank parameters maintained at optimal levels.

Added pair of Ocellaris Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellatus)

Applied copper treatment (Cupramine 0.5ppm) to quarantine tank for new arrivals. This is a preventative measure to ensure all new fish are free from parasites before introduction to the main display tank. Will monitor copper levels daily and maintain treatment for 14 days as per manufacturer recommendations.

Adjusted lighting schedule - reduced blue intensity by 10%

Mandarin goby successfully completed 4-week quarantine period with excellent health indicators and no signs of disease or stress. Fish is eating well and ready for main tank integration.

Weekly water parameter testing completed

Fed mixed frozen food - mysis shrimp and brine shrimp

Added new Euphyllia torch coral to lower right corner

25% water change with RODI water
