Hiya guys,
Heres the update from this week
Water tests are below:
Temp 26
SG 1.026
PH 7.6
KH 7.8
Ca 470
Mg 1440
N03 4
P04 0.08
So looking at the above ive done my weekly water change which will sort some of my levels out, im going to re-test Sat and will buffer accordingly, im going to daily dose 1ml of Coraline Gro (KH Buffer) and dose Mg and Ca when needed, ive also started on my No-pox again 2ml daily and ive also increased the Microbacter Bacteria to 2ml per day!
I have purchased a whitetail Bristlenose Tang from my LFS ive put him in there to see if he will pick all my hair algae out?? if not im going to try an Urchin however am quite concerned about it chewing up my corals so hence why i went for the tang??? i also brought a lovely 3 headed Hammer coral! obviously photos will follow.
I look forward to speaking to you all throughout the week
Oh, going to some nice beaches on Sunday to pick up a few Palaemon elegans (Rock pool shrimp) saw them in my LFS last week and he picked them up from the coast near us!
and finally the Copepod culture is doing really well which is quite promising, so im really not far off putting my Candy Pipes and Mandarin fish in.......
until next time!
