Forward we go...
A little bit more info

We have had the tank for just over 2 weeks now.

The guy we got the tank from had been feeding the fish on frozen brine shrimp solely. I also know that this isnt good and have got pellet feeed and are using the brine shrimp as a treat every 2nd or third day.

We also lost the goby late last week. From what I understand and have read it is more than likely result of lack of food for him. Compared to a couple i have seen in shops now, he was a little under weight when i got the tank.

I am doing fortnightly 20L water changes although I have done once a week so far. I had water tested at the LFS and everythign was good although PH was very slightly low so I now have buffer to add to each water change.

Thats about all I have so far.

One other thing, Most of last week I notice a reddy colour algae growth on the glass happening and little bit starting on the sand. here are a couple of pics of it. After again speaking with LFS his opinion is that it is not "cyano" and is just comon red algae growth and nothing to be worried about.

I got two trochus snails to help with any clean up needed now also.


Cheers
Chris
