Default Update!!

I've have moved a couple things around in the refugium and the display, and its about time for an update on the tank so check it out.




I've been trying to get a pic of my Hector's Goby and the Mandarin but they're just to shy!

Default Sump Cleaning

The sump has been doing a good job collecting small sediment and pieces of algea, so I felt like it was time to pull out the sump a give it a good clean.

All I know is that this skimmer works, maybe to well! This is all coming out of the little hole in the cap.

Default The Friendly Mantis

The mantis (still haven't found a name) is getting used to the refugium and have been seeing it out and about.

Default Update !!

I haven't seen the Harleqiun Shrimp for almost two weeks and had thought it was molting so I decided to pull the rocks out and clean the tank a bit but no sign of the Harlequin. In some good news I bought a 24" Odyssea for cheap and the rock work has been moved and scrubed of any unwanted algea, leaving it looking great! I also brought home a Starry Blennie and a Domino Damsel, and they have been loving the new tank and everybody gets along which is which is nice. On another note my buddy bought a 3 lbs piece of liverock and inside one of the crevasse's was a hitch hiker anemone so if anyone can ID it that would be very helpful!! Well here are the newly updated pics with the new livestock and new tank shots.




So Chech out this Hitch Hiker, I've done a little research and can't really pull up anything on this, I thought it might be a Tealia Anemone of some kind but no positive ID.

And just some other nice Hitch Hikers that came on some of my rock.



Here are the fish!

Default Ok Enough is Enough

I've been fighting phosphate levels since i've started and can't seem to get the algea under control. So enough is enough, lets see what we can do, how bout 4000 HH (800GPH) and 2 Kordelia Powerheads (1 and a Nano), and new reactor for NP Pellets. So now my system runs around 1000GPH when the timer kicks on the powerheads, and I'm also running a marineland pump(247GHP) to tumble the NP pellets.



On another note I've added a few new fish to liven up the tank a bit, a yellow eyed blenny, 2 barnicle blennies, and a lemonpeel angel. I also bought a nice piece of SPS, this is the color change over a week.
