Lucy has encountered her first reef challenge, the filefish are eating the zoas! I warned her this was a possibility. I explained the choice is then the fish or the corals. She has countered with “both” but just more tanks.
We are reworking our plan. Her birthday is in a month so she is angling for a 20 gallon IM in her room. She does not want to part with the filefish as they are extremely cool and also we’ve already got them moved onto dry food. We’re thinking of reworking this tank as a macroalgae tank.
We have a lot of equipment at our disposal and a couple different cycled tanks so we should be able to get this going quickly. I will remessage some of you I contacted when we’re in a better spot in a couple weeks!
This is her plan. Fish stocking just needs a little work
