Whoo hoo! We have pods! Had to move the filter basket today (which is doubling as a refugium) to change the filter floss and a ton of the little critters hit the tank. Snails came bursting from the sand. LOL Made everyone perk right up. Now they are all over my glass.....
Ok - added 10 lb more live rock. Finally up to the 1.5lb amt in the tank. The fish is none too happy I was moving things around. (I moved 2 rocks.....But none of my foundation rocks. :) And the rock I added is cured.) I am sure he'll be back out tomorrow when it is feeding time. :) The Duster and Xenias opened right up as soon as I removed myself from their territory. Now it just looks crowded even though it isn't. Still lots of caves and swim through and lots of center and side room to maneuver.
Next on my list.....GET SOME COLOR IN THERE!!!!
Well.... it does have some nice purple on the rocks. But other than that it is pretty bland.
Pics tomorrow when the lights are back on and the water is clear again. :grumble:
Tank has been re-aquascaped a bit. More rock was added. (excuse the glare on the first one. It was a long shot)
Close ups of new additions:
And as you can see we have a couple more swimming additions. :) They went in last night. Eating well and prefer the back of the tank quite a bit of course. :grumble: Though luckily the back corners I can see from my desk. :)
The firefish was out until I grabbed the camera. And the 2 clowns are swimming around the tank more now that the daylights have kicked in..... :)
If everything is happy then it will probably be ok....the PH is generally ideal between 8.0 - 8.3 and will fluctuate during the 24hr cycle. Calcium is good maybe 430 if you are REALLY picky.
