The coral frags are also doing okay




Top views of tank with flow off




Shrimps doing fine.....


but keep on hiding though


Zoanthid numbers





The Zoos are spreading and getting larger




I have counted over 27 polyps

calibration

after a further calibration test - the salinity is 1.026 to 1.027

I topped up with RO water today (6th Feb) and later a small water change

My readings today are getting there - the nitrates are 2.5ppm while the ammonia is getting to '0' but there is still a trace making the colour slightly green - it needs to be yellow

I have reserved my first fish at my LFS - a nice captive bred percula clown - in fact a pair and they have names already - Harley.......I will check the other name - both are clown names

I hopefully have a bangii cardinal also waiting (fingers crossed) again a captive reared bangii - F1 generation of wild caught parents

New additions


Some candy shrimps



These little fellas are resting in a device called a fintro which uses a one way valve to introduce aquarium water into the vessel over 30 to 45 minutes

so far everything has been introduced through this tray system - hermits, turbos, and other snails

though alot of my other stowaways just came in with the live rock and they are doing just fine....
