IM 15 Nano Cube

[X-37B]

It is months 6.
Some pics I just took.
Nano is running well.
I have to harvest the sea lettuce and some bubble algea every couple weeks to keep the tank looking good. It sure it easy in a nano.
The first pic I had to scrape the
Cyphastrea and will need to keep the growth line below the acan e.
All 4 on the back wall are looking good.

Here is a pic of the sea lettuce on the powerhead.

Jebao ow-10 shaft broke. I replaced with the smallest pump on hand, Tunze 6055.
I have it set on the lowest setting and it's on/off every 5 seconds for now. Alot more flow than the 10 and bigger in size.

Few pics.

Just ran some par numbers.
250 par up at the spiral Monti.
170 at the bottom 200-220 across the rocks.
The 15 works quite well on a nano.
Power 100% ab+ 1hr up/down 8hrs peak.

Today noticed aptasia again. I have had 4 peppermint shrimp over the last 4 months and all have gone missing. Maybe the cave goby as no bodies found.
Anyway ordered 3 medium nudis.
I counted 2 bigger ones and 20+ minis so in they go on Wednesday.
I used 6 large on my 150 and have never saw another.

I removed one of the 2 frogspwan which grew quite fast and was killing coral it touched.
It was 2 heads when I put it in and is now 4.
It was also touching the leather corals base. This will give the leather more room.
This is the one.I removed.

I added a small piece of caribsea branch from lfs today. One had 2 feather dusters as a bonus.
I then put back my purple stylo.

I rubbed the spiral getting out but no harm. Then I fragged an edge to make room for below.
Glued a piece to 2 other tanks back wall.

I took the 6055 powerhead out and replaced it with a 6040 which is smaller and a better fit.
Plugging in the power cord was hard but did not think anything of it. Turned on the pump and nothing. The controller works.
So I then could not get the plug out. Sent a dm to Roger as I will have to send it back.
They have 5 year warranties so that's a plus.

I picked up the 20×12.5×12.5 today to use as a emergency tank.

So po4 and no3 are still zero.
I changed my carbon today and I had used chemipure blue and not rox.
Po4 should come up now that the gfo is out.
Tank still looks good.
Here is a pic of where the dosing is done. 2 part and ato so 3 inputs.
Leather slimed and shed today so good time for new carbon.

The system is being overrun with hair algae, ulva., and byopsi. I remove it once a week.
2 days ago I dosed 1ml of agalefix.
Today algae is receding and the tank is clearing up.
I will run the treatment at least 2 more times, every 3 days.

Everything looks good in the system.

The smaller aptasia are disappearing with only 1 large and 1 small one left.
I will kalk both of them.

 

[X-37B]

Yesterday was the 3rd dose of algaefix. Algae 90% gone. No issues and everything doing well.
Cleaning I broke the main branch on the blue digi.
I moved the goni back for more space. Also moved one of the zoa rocks to the back.
I put the purple stylo back.
Trimmed the cyphastrea back away from the acan on the back wall. It did not like the trim and is slowly recovering.
