A week on and everything is doing ok. Fish have settled and set up territories . I have removed the blue spot house so that I can put this back at a later date and nobody has already claimed it . Corals are colouring up and I'm learning what corals go where again , I've put some new coral frags in and they are still nice and colourful at the minute. Byropsis , I had a few tiny visible bits left, no doubt their could be more hiding, but I found my sea hare, put him on the Rock and he's sorted that out. I also had one coral smothered in byropsis, but it was housing my crab colony , I've put this in a shady spot and the byropsis has also gone from this. I'm not going to say I've beaten the byropsis as its still early days but I have to search to find any now. Whether it's the tank aging, the water being cleaned up, the lack of light, the sea hare , the new sump lights or a combination of all this I do not know. But I'm hoping this is a success story for anyone battling the stuff.
Triton method I am now settling in to the only trouble I was left with was low ph, but since the new sump light and the change in light schedule in the main display this has settled at dropping to 7.97 on a night. It's not 8.2 but I'm good with this. I have also sent off my first water sample so that is going to be interesting.
So what next ? Reintroduce the blue spot , I would still like to try a pair if I can. And now I'm going to concentrate on sps coral growth and colour, I can keep them alive, just want to see if I can get them growing now.
Never mentioned the sump light , I've gone for a 6500K grow light in the sump, my cheato was sort of flat and lifeless but now it's starting to perk up a little. Can't remember the exact name of the light but I'll get a pictur of it. Oh and I'm hoovering out my sump next weekend to give this a spring clean .
