Tank Update, Video Link Inside!
The tank is healthy and going well.

We are heading into the two month mark, and while I think about it - the tank is still young, but still so mature in so many other respect. I've been lucky since cycling the tank there has been no serious algal blooms. I've been using artificial seawater for water changes every 6 days or so.

The tank is healthy, I feed the bicolour blenny, clown fish, torch and hammer brine shrimp and marine snow for the softies.

Overall everything is really healthy and apart from the occasional freakout, I am really happy with it!

Here is a link for a video of the tank:

I have a stocklist in previous journal posts but here it is again:

Fish:
- Bicolour Blenny.
- Black Clownfish.

Coral:
Hard:
- Torch coral.
- Hammer coral.
- Duncans (?)
Soft:
- Blue cespituaria.
- Toadstool Coral.
- Rhodactis
- 1 Large and 1 Small Zoa colony.

Inverts:
- Stromb Snail.
- 2 Hermit Crabs (That fight periodically)
- Peppermint Shrimp.
- MASSIVE black nudibranch.

Have you tried pointing your powerhead on an angle towards the surface? This usually gives a very random flow.

I hadn't until another member mentioned it too. But I have this neat equilibrium of flow at the moment it seems to be going well! But if it goes haywire again I'll be sure to give it a go! Thanks :)
