Marine Tank update

Saturday May 7th, 2011 Leave a comment Go to comments

It has been a fairly crappy last 12 months or so with the tank. A few dead corals because I am stupid and a few because of bad luck. Had a 2-3 week period while I was on holiday where the lights were on 24×7 and lost some stuff and took several months for the tank to recover..

Still having a major fight with bubble algae so yesterday bought a emerald crab, so let’s see.

Next our sand is shite! had to syphon most of it out a few weeks ago to totally wash it.. I just cannot get the flow right with the 2 Korallia Evos, might even buy a nano Powerhead to stick at the bottom.
Also still got a god damn issue with vibrations through the tank/cabinet from the Powerheads, depends where I put them, wish the tank wasn’t so close to the walls now, as I suspect that is the issue

Skimmer has never skimmed, so it is switched off.. I guess I really should buy a new one, but money is so tight, as we just had the kitchen ripped out and started from scratch… over budget, say no more..

I’ve learned a big lesson, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS stick down corals, I lost some due to my stupidity..

Also our 2 leathers were looking great until about 5 weeks ago, haven’t opened since then and they are alive as they curl up etc still odd..
