Trouble
Well...all i can really say is im in trouble. Add onto that that im an idiot as well.
Cycle complete check
First fish check
Then everything under the name of the sun including a nem...check
Well im in for a struggle soon and i know that much but for now we are cruising.
With a baserock start and a drop off look to the scape weve got a good looking tank.
A pair of percs a scooter blenny and a yellow coral goby are the current inhabitants. 10 different colours of morph making up my morph garden. 3 different acans making up the acan rock (really wanting ome more to fill the gap) a hammer, 2 heads of torch, a short polyp goni and some sps frags make up the corals. A short 2 minute drive from my salt water collection point makes for easy water changes and im doing about 20% twice a week.
Ammonia less than 0.1ppm
Nitrates at 5ppm
Po4 at 0.01ppm
Consistently so im happy with my water change routine.
Still working on a few different ideas etc for tank equipment (really want to get a better skimmer).
But for now my main focus is keeping ontop of the water changes and keeping my eye out for the near inevitable crash or spike that is yet to come from rushing into it.
So far though im surprising myself. The acro and b nest frags are already showing signs of nice growth. The goni has near doubled in size and I've still got that bivalve poking out of the bit of rock.
Ill try and get some more photos up later
