Today was the first water change. I changed about 95% and vacuumed the sand. I also added 250 mL Siporax and a few pieces of live rock rubble from my reef tank into the canister filter. I also have a filter pad in there.
Cleaning the canister is a giant PITA, so I may skip out on the filter pad and just let it run with the rock and Siporax. Then I could clean it out quarterly instead. I'd probably have to do twice weekly water changes though because I'd be doing less than 50% water changes if I'm only draining the display and not the canister. That would likely be better for the SPS anyway... hmm... Here are some before WC pics and during. Some diatoms on the glass now. Yippee, that's a good sign.

Clearly I need to get a camera to get photos like these. This little bubble is shaping up nicely.

Most of the time it's not the camera, it's how you take pictures.

I tend to agree with you. I suck at photos.

Man that is looking great!! Your dedication always shows. My nano (my daughters which I have to care for) is looking less than beautiful with my poor water change schedule.

Significant diatoms growth on the rocks and sand now. I added a Ring Cowrie that I stole from my reef.
I have some goodies coming for the pico in the next week. Can't wait. This tank has made reefing exciting for me again. Last edited by Myka; 03-01-2018 at 01:54 AM. |
