No Ammonia, no nitrite and almost no nitrate so transferred fish and corals...three days now and looking great, everyone is happy...pic soon

 

[marineclass]

looking good. You did a great job cleaning the tank:)

 

[rosechaser]

I had no idea the red algae was so hard...broke about 20 razor blades in the process and 6 containers of vinegar...and a few layers of skin!:eek:

Pics dude pics!

 

[rosechaser]

Don't have a decent camera so video is easier....so this is three weeks on

 

[Dynamic]

Looking good dude!

 

[rosechaser]

Yeah getting there. Am really happy considering only a couple of weeks old.

Have a stack of hairy algae growing on the glass, so scraped everything down, cleaned heaters, etc then did a big water change, well 50 litres, and looking good.

Can't believe how much the clowns eat...hope they haven't got worms!!!

You have come a long way in the last few months Sven - well done.

Your clowns will eat as much as you give them as, on the reef, they don't know when their next meal is going to arrive. If you give them too much, most will just pass straight through them and end up as poo for your filter to deal with. You will get used to how much is required over time, just don't overdo it to start with.

I thought I should put this on as this is what I would like to upgrade to

It was in another section

The tank I have drawn is 8' x 3' wide x 2' deep....alternatively 6' x 4' wide x 2' deep (depth would be top of sand to water line)

Any comments on tank size? Both have same literage.

 

[marineclass]

Wow thats a big backyard!:eek: Great idea though - and you could use the sunlight coming through the top too:)

 

[rosechaser]

The fence makes the yard look bigger it's only 18 m x 20 m but big enough for cabana which is 6 x 7 under roof

Still don't have a camera and sick of iPhone pics so here are a couple of uploads

My BTA, loves it's clowns

And here's the new Lemonpeel Angel

Dad....daddy.......daaaaaaaddddddy! You gave them some breakfast didn't you!

lol, gold outbursts from the family tree there.

Tanks looking good, for how old?

 

[MagicJ]

It's funny when you have young kids yourself - I was trying to work out how old they might be from their voices :D

 

[rosechaser]

Yes golden moments hey LOL

LR has been going for two months, tank for one month...very happy with how it's going, but I keep on top of water tests and water changes.

Doesn't mater how much I read, still stuff things up......

Happy to have a bit of picking....whats a reef without pickers!!

 

[rosechaser]
