The Not-so Stony Shallows
Well it was a sad day on the shallows today! About a week ago I discovered that the aefw were still in my tank and so unfortunately it's come to a decision of what to do and I've taken the extreme route! I'm going scorched earth on them this time and I'm completely ridding the tank of all the acro and starving them of their food source. This means that I'm going 10wks of no acro's until mid-late Jan :( However it's given me the opportunity to do a pretty big clean and rescape!
On a more positive note, I absolutely am in love with the sBar actinic LED strip :inlove: :inlove: so much so I'm going to get a second one to even out the light haha
So after a bit of a kick in the bum from Dave, I got in there are tore all the acro's out and puttied over any encrusted areas.
The ultimate insult!
And I went on my rescape rampage too! I picked up 2.5kg in small pieces of live rock and a few (3.5kg) nice real reef rock bridging type pieces as well (which are soaking in RO at the moment), I also picked up a Triton ICP test to see whats going on! lol I think I'm going to do three over the next few months to make sure the tank is super acro ready come mid Jan :)
I have no real idea or inspiration for the scape so suggestions are welcome but this is pre-phase 1 with new live rock added to the tank :)
