Catchup

I have been adding all the nitty gritty details to the ReefCon Pro software instead of using this. Guess I need to figure out what I am going to do...

The QT tank is up and running. I added the Percula I think on the 26th and it was doing fine. I added the Purple Tang on the 27th but it got badly stressed within 6 hours - when the nitrites went up to 0.1. So I took both fish out and back in the main aquarium.

Yesterday I bought 10kg of Malaysian LR and added that to the tank. I also added some Vodka and Ammovec biostarter. Hopefully I’ll get the cycling process sped up.

Today I got my small anemone from Exotic - finally! It moved about 5cm downwards so I hope it will find a place it likes.

I also replaced the powerhead in the QT tank with a 1200l/h Eheim pump to silence the noise at night. The pump will be 10 times per hour, but is more quiet and has a nice sponge filter built in to eliminate debris to break the propellor.

I have been feeding the Sun Coral, Yellow Polyps and Anemone at night using Mysid and Brine shrimp, as well as Krill.
