PICTURE FEST!!!
PICTURE FEST!!!
The tank is going along really nicely, except of the LMB jumkping last week it has been problem free and really looking quite good.
I got the followling new additions from a friend, which you can see in the pics:
Orange zoas
Green mushroom
I moved my one and only SPS coral to the front, a Hydnophora which is growing quite well. I may try my hand at more difficult SPS soon.
I have been dosing Kalk for a long time via a gravity feed system and it just doesnt work that well. It clogs up and getting the drip rate right is a pain. A few weeks ago I accidently dripped over a gallon and a half into the system overnight, skyrocketing the pH. Nothing died and the pH came back to normal on its own through the course of the day. I am seriously considering getting a dosing pump, probably an Aquamedic dual. I can place it between my FO and my reef and dose both tanks from the same bucket!
I bought some strombus grazers from ipsf.com over a year ago. They are suposed to breed in your tank and though I have seen eggs I have (up until recently) not seen babie strombus snails. They have now exploded in the tank and in the evening I can count 40-50 tiny snails on the glass. I have about 200 eggs awaiting hatching right now.
My water parameters are looking really good except I am having difficuly with alk and CA (who doesnt). My alk seems to come down very quickly and my CA has difficuty staying above 300. I have been dosing C-Balance on a daily basis. Something is using up that alk and CA!!
Since I have been doing C-Balance my coraline has made a return, the rocks are more purple and green and that is a good thing!
On to the picture fest!!! The pics are in no particular order, just the oprder I snapped them in.
