First pic was when we first set up the tank, May 8th. Second was taken on June 2nd and now just 17 days later he clearly has quite a bit of yellow showing. I had no idea it happened so fast. In the photo you can't tell, but the yellow is very bright and obvious in person. we are finding new things to amaze us everyday. Maybe I am doing something right, who knows? On a completely unrelated note, I am unable to use my enter key to start a new paragraph, but only on the MARSH site. :noidea:

Alison, I'm having the same issue (with the enter key) and been dealing with it for a while, as you can see. I've been told it's a setting thingie in the smilies page. Had it on two laptops happening, even on R2R where I be most of the time. BigPink find out about the problem on one of my laptops and he will be coming to my house next week to fix this one too. If you have time I'll send you a text and your welcome that he'll fixed it for you too. Btw, pretty cool of your Angel.

Be a Whistleblower and reveal the secret of the "ENTER KEY" myth on maybe.........Maybe a NSA controlled intolerance, excessive government control of our lives, and attempts to monopolize opinion or suppress freedom of thought, expression, and worship on Marsh. I WANT MY ENTER KEY TO BE ACTIVE AND CONTROLLED BY ME AGAIN. :pound:

MARSH Community,

It has come to our attention that you have quite an active forum. We are suspicious that anyone has this much to say about fish tanks. Therefore, we have decided to limit the number of new topics you can start by limiting the use of your 'ENTER' key. We will be monitoring the site to ensure you cooperate.

Sincerely,
The watchful eye of the NSA

Oh no! So you're saying it wasn't even my dogs fault??? Is there like a chip they secretly implanted that I can remove? Do you think a tin-foil collar will help???

Ok, for the benefit of Ben (I don't want you waiting any longer without the use of your return key! You can be using this on your other laptop til I return yours at the beginning of next week) and anybody else who may have been experiencing the same problem...
I spent two days researching issues with Windows, another day researching issues with internet explorer and a final day researching issues with VBulletin (the software many of the forum sites run on)
After many exhaustive hours of frustration and research I found the fix. I must warn you though, it is highly technical and complicated and will probably take about....phew...I'd say 5 seconds of your time :)
Are you ready for this? :)
Go onto the reply editor, on the top bar of the editor, top left corner, you'll see a button with an "A" and a little line. Click it. Give it a second to reset the editor.... Et Voila!
I'm asking $50 an hour for my time, so your total bill is roughly $2000...you're welcome ;-)
P.S I don't mind if you all chip-in together just as long as I get my money!

One frag of green/blue eye chalice, one frag of gold eye chalice, one frag of blue symposium, one frag of JF crazy fox and one frag of Pink boobies.
You'll be a happy man, Pete!

Ben,
I was going to post the same thing Pete did but only for $1000.

P.S. - I have added you to my top 5 friend list. I will also mow your lawn for free.

:cool:

Holy carp! Happy is an understatement! My tank is basically turning into a mini version of your tank Ben, and I'm sure many of us would agree, there aren't many tanks I could wish to have a mini version of!
Wow, just wow!

You can also tell that it is transitioning by the bars breaking and softening in his/her pattern. Something to note is that there is no guarantee the fish will complete its change - some get stuck half way and never completely finish, others take a month and they are done. It can be perfectly healthy and stuck between "phases" for a long time so I wouldn't get in a rush to see it change. Feed it well and enjoy it - cool fish!

Another thing to keep in mind...I see a lot of LPS in the background of your tank. Adults are typically the ones that go after those kinds of tasty treats. I'd start thinking about which you want more....the fish or some of the corals the fish decides to eat. It WILL happen - it's just a matter of time and which corals it decides to try.

Thanks Jason. He researched the change and secretly hopes it stays blue. Lol. We decided with the big tank fish are the guests of honor. Something was nipping at one of the corals so I just moved it to the other tank where Kyle keeps his Zoa garden and it is recovering. For his birthday I am going to get him a 29 g biocube and let him start it from scratch since the cycle really interests him. So that is probably where any corals they bother end up.
