November 2014
Figured I should do a bit of an update with a few new additions. Tank has been ticking along well with no real dramas. I have had one of my lori anthais slowly fading away, it seems quite fussy in what it eats and even when adding red plankton it will only pick at a few bits - not sure if it had some under lying issue or just hasn't adapted to tank life - all the other are eating like pigs and will eat nls pellets and New Era flake with gusto. I have also added a Red Spot Blenny which seems to settled in well and over the weekend my Copperband Butterfly was released from QT in into the display and I think he is enjoying some swimming space and rocks to pick at - double bonus is that I had 3 tiny aptasia on one of the pieces of LR that I used to seed the tank and within 30mins or so of being in the tank the CBB smashed them. It has been eating frozen Mysis and bits in 'marine mix' well in QT (could get it to eat out of my fingers) but will have to keep an eye on it in the main tank just to make sure it is getting enough.
Over the past month or so I have added a few new corals as well as a Purple H.Crispa nem. Few of the corals were bought as browned/browning out specials and have started to regain some colour, some of the others have started to show some growth and encrusting.
Gradually getting better with the camera too (well I think anyway :p) I have found that changing the LED's to 10% blue and 50% whites seems to make it much easier to get the WB close to actual colours.
Cheers
