Been A While......
OK,
So it has been a while with a bit going on both in the tank and normal life as well so haven't had a chance to update things. Havent got many good new pics but will add in what I have. Will try to keep things as short as possible.
I have myself a chiller ... :D. Got a second hand Teco TR5 chiller. I have put insulation on both supply pipes also. I got an eheim compact 1000 pump to supply the chiller and tank return from the sump section of my tank. All seems to be working well.
Equipment wise I have also acquired an ATC800+ temp controlled. This is currently running my chiller and heater and again, all seems to be running well on that front. :cool:
We lost our B&W occy clown. He started swimming head down on the back wall for a day or so then was swimming on his back near the surface for a day or so then found him stuck to the powerhead the next morning. Initially She? was the slightly larger of the two so not sure whether to get a smaller one for the one we have left or a larger one. Don't want to get too large as its only an 80L tank.
We have a new starfish too. He seems to be cruising round the tank ok.
Have been struggling with Green hair algae for little while now. I have taken the main infested rock out and hit it with peroxide and rinsed and then back in. That got rid of it for a little while but can see starting to come back. Not sure what my next move is to get rid of it. Nitrates are down to 2ppt and phos around 0.1 up to 0.7 depending on rowaphos on the sump section. I also got a small lawnmower blenny but I haven't seen him touching any GHA as yet. He smashed the pellet food though. Hopefully get starts to get a taste for algae soon though and start doing his job.....
My trachy got a whole in it almost overnight. After investigating I believe I got out a gall crab. Hopefully my trachy will recover.
I also got some new acans......
I have some new zoas but don't have any pics of them yet. next update.
This is a quick semi recent FTS. Crappy iphone shot though.
Lastly this little morph was doing great a while ago until he was knocked into my hammer. he never lost colour but wouldn't open up until very slowly just recently. Hopefully he will recover fully and keep growing. Nice blue purple with green spotty rims
Thanks for looking and happy for any comments or suggestions
