Summer Catch up

Sorry for the lack of updates over summer, We got married so there has been little time for Blogging.

Here's how the tank is looking at the moment.

We have added a rather large peice of Live rock which has allowed us to form more of a reef look with the Rock.

We have also just added a Leather Coral Frag.

Our Xenia and Mushrooms are looking nice and a selection of which are shown below.

My water Params are just about spot on according to the Test kit I have, but I'm going to get a second opinion the next time I go to Blu Zoo.

There are a few problems with the tank that we are working on at the moment. The back wall of the tank is Dirty and we probably need a larger clean up crew.

We have Aiptasia, in fact we have a lot of Aiptasia, we are going to get either a couple of Peppermint shrimps or some Aiptasia to help with the problem.

I've purposely keep the tank 3/4 full - I've decided that next weekend I'll fill it completly.

All change - new bigger tank

A few weeks ago I decided to replace my small nano tank with a much larger 3 (and a bit ) ft tank...the dancing shrimps have also gone back.

It's taken a bit of work to get everything up and running but things are starting to take shape.

Latest Pictures and Vids

Here are the latest pictures from the tank.

Here are a couple of videos of the shrimps in action.

I have a dilema - these shrimps eat corals.

I've moved the xemia and xenia frags into the sump area, and so far they are leaving the mushrooms alone - but I've having to watch them carefully.

I'm feeding them with flake food every few days.
I really like watching them in the tank.

You can just see a dancing shrimp there. We have 2 (a male and female)

although they tend to spend most of their time hiding in the rocks. (when they aren't munching my xenia frags)

New addition and corals looking nice

I've added some Xenia to the tank - it was a frag from a friend (Thanks Dave)

As you can see some bits look a bit happier then others.

My mushrooms are looking happy and I like these pictures
