When you accept free macro algae from a fellow reefer but it comes with a hitchiker xD

Can you get a clear picture of it? Looks like an aptasia. If it is it is a foe.
That was the best photo I could take before I took out that piece of macroalgae it was on. I am going to keep a close eye, and if I see more I will probably get a peppermint shrimp.

One of my nano tanks open top was using 1 litre a day. I fitted a evaporation tray on top and it solved my problem. I all so use a auto top up on my tanks keeps salinity bag on all the time . Just my experience with evaporation.

have you had this before. With a lid on that should slow evaporation down. Hopefully you will get more reply’s

I am used to about a cup a day, so this event was rather bizarre.

Looking good, how are your water parameters looking?
Decent, I need a better test kit, the LFS gave me some crazy readings the other day. I say Nitrate around 5-15ppm, everything else solid. I keep SG around 1.023-1.024.

Here is a photo from today.

Not sure if I should retire this thread or continue building onto it!

A lot has changed since I last posted. My current setup is an Aquatop 24, still have my two clowns and sexy shrimp, but much more corals!
