I Seem To Be Doing Something Right
All the fish and the new invertebrates are alive and happy. No problem getting them to eat frozen marine mix -- the Sergeant Majors are particularly enthusiastic. I discovered my starfish is carnivorous, as are my two mulberry whelks, so today I brought home a bunch more Melenerita and Austrococlea for their delectation. I also now have a second Cocos Frill blenny, a larger olive-drab blenny whom I haven't yet identified, and a tiny baby stripey. All settled in instantly and ate well. Plus two little crabs as cleaners -- I'll have to see how they do.
pH is still a touch low but improving (7.8 as opposed to 8.1 in the real Rockpool), and TDS are the same in my tank and The Rockpool, likewise temperature -- 78 F as opposed to 76 F. I'm still waiting for nitrate etc test strips to arrive.
