Tank Journal Archive
So doing my regular weekly water change & testing, seems the flow in the tank is a little off...
Further probing revealed -- Return Pump is MUNTED :( pushes about as much water as a 200lt pump....
On a brighter not while I sort a new pump out I re-scaped the rock work on the right hand side of tank... Lots of little hide holes now and it is growing on me looks wise....

Update!!!!!
3 X Tank Bred Bangaii's from Reef Secrets & 2 x Redline Cleaner shrimp went in this afternoon....seem to have settled in well, the Bangaii's smashed the food when I fed the tank tonight so that must be a good sign :cool:
On a different note one of the shrimp had molted in the bag during overnight transport :confused:

Added a Frogspawn and an Elegance yesterday, both have opened up nicely now after settling in overnight.
'Spawn is a rather large piece (approx 10cm diameter closed) and the Elegance has dark bluey/purple flesh with Orange tips :cool:
On another note two of my friends gave me a Brown Tang the other day, has settled in well (despite the bike ride in a back pack home hahaha) and was eating within an hour of going in to the DT....
