Finally I have managed to get hall free of the clutter - RO, salt water containers, buckets, etc
It was all needed for setting up the tank -
I will be away for the weekend and I wonder how Louise will fair looking after the RSM?

recording the growth of these polyps in my tank
I was luckily enough to have some stowaways on the last addition of live rock a nice mature piece which was just under 1kg in weight
I plan to record the growth and numbers of these corals
There are 20 polyps on the live rock and the larger discs are growing nicely - I just have to figure out how to show this on camera
This photo was taken by my Olympus SP-500uz which is a great camera - 5 times the megapixels of my camera phone
Readings (25th Jan 2007)

Salinity 1.023
Ammonia - 0.25 ppm
Nitrite - 0 - 0.05 ppm
Nitrate - 5 ppm
Calcium - 400 - 450 ppm
D'oh forgot the temperature readings - which would be around 24.9 (digital) to 25C-26C (red sea digital)

Finally managed to get back into my blog
Something must be wrong with my computer settings - still I am here now
I have some welcome news, my blog is being watched by none other than the deputy director of marketing at Red Sea!!!
It makes you feel a little worried that you may be doing the wrong things with regards to setting up the red sea max or something but I am glad that my experiences may help you guys to come up with further ideas to combat some of the 'problems' that Red Sea Max owners (myself included) are finding out setting up this tank.
The one thing I have to say is that Louise is more comfortable with the apparent neatness of the Red Sea Max - Louise saw the alternatives in the LFS the last time we visited together....it is often just me annoying the fish shops sales people..... but some of the other tanks with their externally mounted skimmers etc were not for her
Though she did reacte quite severely when she first came home to the red sea max
I am sure that when my first fish go into the tank things will be much more different
I think that a couple of percula clowns would do the trick - (captive bred of course)
