Argh! the temperature is too high
Well it was around 26C outside today and the RSM has been getting up to 28C - I have been cooling the tank with an office fan
The tank is fine by all accounts - the heat made the new bangai go a bit mad but they all seem to be doing okay
My RSM thread on Reefs UK has had some great comments from other RUK members
'Looking great Jon... good to see all those frags doing well.. will soon be full once they all grow. rgds leigh...'
'look very good now!!! very natural!!!'
'Inspirational tank Jon - looks stunning. My RSMs about a month old and I'm looking forward to stocking my first fish and softies soon.'
Here is my thread for more photos etc

Pictures of my mum getting her hands wet well she wanted to say hello to the cleaner shrimp
coming soon
Latest parameters
Ammonia 0 - 0.25ppm, Nitrites 0ppm, Nitrates 2.5 to 5ppm
Latest additions
Zoas - rock of pinks very nice pic to come soon
Latest frags available for fellow RUK members
Zoas, Toadstools, Mushrooms, Star polyps and some pulsing Xenia - Red Sea and standard eventually
Leigh in Oxon had some frags off me recently and he has reported that all the frags apart from the star polyp survived
the finger leather has started to expand

Tank has been alone for three days!
My colleague James has popped in to check on the tank......everything was okay apart from the bubble surge from low water levels....I am considering reversing the filter media the coarse filter first and then the fine filter so hopefully the clogging will be reduced within the filter wool as the larger stuff has been captured by the coarse filter.....
I will be testing the parameters when I get back later today and I will also be posting some pictures aswell
Regards
Jon

Sorry for the lack of reports
I have been busy with work but I have also been progressing with the aquarium. I have a several new additions
Triple headed toadstool coral
Sand sifting snail
more mushrooms
more zoas - from steve
and I have just added a new fish - a lovely bangai which I got from a member of Reefs UK - from West Sussex and it is captive bred - sex unknown
My tank parameters have go a little haywire Ammonia 0.25ppm, Nitrite - up to 0.2ppm and nitrates 5ppm - I am making water changes over th elast few days and I have managed to get the nitrites down to 0.1ppm so far I need to get them down to 0ppm with the easter hols coming I hope to get the levels down a bit
both sets of parents have seen the tank now and they all love the tank......my mum even got into the swing of things allowing the cleaner shrimp clean her hand and arm ( I have photos to be posted soon)
My bangai cardinal has settled in well and it feeding nicely a very cool fish make the clowns look small
