Lots homes with the tank.. custom elements added from reef quest making a huge difference !! But also will be all going up for sale and refining soon as I’m having a tank 3 times the size and can’t fit this one as well. So starting again 😂😂

Today I bought these cool little guys fancies my 1st few LPs to put amongst the softies! I picked up a little Duncan with 4-5 heads and a neon green candy cane complete with an odd tube worm attached :)

Captains 🪵 day 109 the Uv has been kicking butt with bacteria and dinoflagulattes, even with small cell amphidinium being sand loving. This is what we did.
•Sand cleaning into a 5 micron filter sock then return the water into the tank.
•Daily blasting of dinos off the rocks
•11w uv running 24 hours a day for 2 weeks
•constant dosing of nitrates and phos to keep them at 10ppm nitrate and 0.1ppm phos ( phos is consumed so quickly and all drop is noticible until it stabilises)
•skimmer places high to just skim minimally but heavily oxygenate stil (helps with bacterial blooms)
• added and orange lipped conch
• going to add an algae blenny again

Additives used are oceamo kh (from reef quest.co.uk)
Phosphate+
Nitrate+ and zero water changes from the last month.

Future changes will be at 10% when nutrients go above target levels
And trim the macro up as it’s growing wildly lol

Just a quick update.. I e replaced the tunzee skimmer for a bubble Magi’s QQ3 (fyi! the lids on these are garbage and let bubbles out) and the blenny is a jumper! (So next update there will be a lid!!)
