Brad's 100 'n Change Cube-like Journal

Thinking of moving the MI into the display today, I have lots of little macro algae growing on the rock and I bet he'd feast for the whole day on it!

Will he eat mushrooms?...

No, I added some shrooms and zoas to his QT tank, he didn't touch them

Looks great brad.. I skimmed back a little but I assume nutrients are taken care of since added proper rock?

Too early to tell, I think. I tested NO3, and that's 0ppm, will check PO4 today. Rock is still very new and probably could have cured for another week or so. I had a good day to do the move with my daughter away, so jumped in early. Although, no issues, some slime on the glass, but not much more than normal.

Lots of macro algae on the rock, so that will take up some nutrients making testing a bit flawed. I'll do a good water change on Monday and would expect PO4 to be below 0.04ppm at that point. Feeding the tank rather heavy, considering I have a single one inch wrasse in there (and a jawfish that won't eat).

Alrighty, added the pair of clowns and MI to the display. Let's see what kind of damage they can do!!

Question: what's an MI?

Tested tonight, NO3 @ 0ppm, PO4 @ 0.05ppm

Not bad for first couple weeks.

Yep those results would put a smile on my face

It's been a while since an update, January was a bad month, essentially had to abandon my tank for a few weeks. Lost a few fish, grew some great hair algae and cyano, overall, not a fun thing to come home to. anyway, cleaned it up, got most things mounted and hoping it's a smoother ride into summer.

Here's the latest FTS
