State Of The Aquarium(s)

24g:

Yuck! There is green algae all over the back wall, and it is ever growing on the some parts of the rocks. The fish and coral seem happy. They eat well. I've been treating with with #1, #2, iodine, and tossing in a little phytoplankton. I must still be over feeding, though i sometimes skill a day, and rarely feed more than half a cube. The heat here fluctuates a lot, and the warmer it gets the more I have this problem. last night I got some phas-ban, and that should help me with the problem. I also pulled out one of the sponges , and cleaned it out. When I did that, a couple drops of the most foul water ever fell into the display part. It was awful, but cleared up nicely as the water circulated. The good news is all the life is happy.


30g:

I put glue on top of this thing. It was was easy, and all the coral in that area are much more happy.

Because of the heat, I took one of the lid panels off. The idea was to help dissipate the heat. The side affect was that my clams opened up a little more. So.... just to check on things... I pulled the other panel off too. Now the clams open up nicely. It's not as much as if I had a MH, but it's nice.

The long plate tentacle is dead. I had noticed it wasn't well. I thought it wasn't getting enough light, so I moved it to the middle of the tank. That seems to make it a bit more happy, but the snail's web thing kept irritating it. I left it in the tank until it's mouth was gaping open and it's tentacles were all but non existent. Now it's outside drying out. I want to keep it.

I had a snail die too. It was one of the pretty (and fun to watch) Nassarius Snails. I saw a hermit crab eating it :(. I'm saving it's shell too...

90g:

I'm told the gobies are happy in their new home. I hope to go see it this weekend. I like that tank because of all the technical stuff under it. It's really cool. 90g... that's a lot of water.

12g:

The 12 it happy. I'm staying on top of the water changes and the live stock seems to be happy. I need to work out a better feeding schedule. when i feed, i feed to much.. then to let the system get back to normal..i might skip a day. that's not good for the system over all. I need to correct that.
