Lettuce sea slug doing fine

The big green nudibranch or sea slug is doing really well in the aquarium - not bad for a stowaway - he likes to venture out during the night and doing the morning where he leaves a trail of slime along the tank glass.......


I have noticed other invertebrates including very small snails, other iospoda type bugs and small starfish type inverts on the tanks glass

The fine filter media has taken a beating recently being washed often to be de clogged and increase water flow

I have to keep the fine filter clean and it seems to last around two to three days before flow is reduced and produces air bubbles.

I haven't received the new attachments for the power heads yet I am sure that RS are very busy but hopefully this will prevent some rattling of the power heads

The noise of the tank is reasonable - the main noise coming from the protein skimmer which is working very hard cleaning up the water - plenty of black or rather dark goo coming from the collection cup

The algae within the tank includes macro green and macro brown algaes which have come on the live rock - There maybe some phosphates within the water so the next thing I may need is some phosphate remover for the filter treatment centre

New salinity refractometer

My tank salinity is 1.026 - I have missed today's readings as I was out all day

Next reading of the parameters will be tomorrow morning. I managed to get a few freebies from the LFS - a few more polyps, Xenia and a piece of a leather coral - will have to wait and see whether these will pull through - my readings previously were not dangerous and the Zoanthids and other polyps are doing fine.......


.......Fingers crossed
