Covid Year wrap up
So as we're (hopefully) at the tail end of Year of the Covid, I thought I'd do an update. It was not a great year, and it culminated with the loss of Dash, my 16 yr-old dachshund just a couple of weeks ago. Very humbling dealing with loss, algae, etc but things are looking better, and overall, the tank is not doing too bad. Added a couple of new frags last week and fingers crossed. Still a ways to go.
New lights! Reef Breeder Photons. Haven't cleaned up wires yet, but I like the lights so far. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...2b26dfce_h.jpg I lost a few SPS including 3 large colonies, but others are ok. This Rainbow Loom needs to regain colour but I'm happy it hung around https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...8c053afb_h.jpg Fish are happy. I am learning though, that as they are a fair bit larger and more established, they're not as nice to newcomers. I do need to add some fish though, as I think the bioload is low. Need more fish poop! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...cd25328b_c.jpghttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...407be825_c.jpg Canada Corals has brought in some of the nicest gorgs recently, and I was lucky to nab a few for the little softy tank. Here are a few favourites. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...45c5cc0e_z.jpghttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...9fbaca7a_z.jpghttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...c3a8416d_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...d45245a2_z.jpghttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...23e6dbe6_z.jpghttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...e9d702b15d.jpg Canada Coral also had a spiral coral, which I had never seen before. It's a black coral so its skeleton is jet black, which you can see at the very bottom. So cool looking https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...9f5cee76_z.jpghttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...02d22ff1_z.jpghttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...7b0416db_z.jpg Still really enjoy my little softy tank as it lets me see moments like this. Tiny urchin and tiny fish meet up https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...1a6a5890_h.jpg Wishing myself and everyone a better reefing year! "My heart has joined The Thousand, for my friend stopped running today" Good night Dash...miss you https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...73088750_z.jpg |
