Minor build update:
We lost a clown this week our 5 year old female ocellaris clown. She jumped ship this past Thursday (7/9) the dogs found her on the floor, She was still wet so I was able to keep her alive by placing her back in the tank in isolation. She survived until Saturday morning where I found her lying in the substrate. We still have one clown left and our thought is to try having it host in our month old rainbow men... Any thoughts on teaching and old fish a new trick? Pretty bummed and still undecided about adding another.
In brighter tank news (pun intended) our Orphek OR3 90 Reef Day Light finally came in. I plan to install it this week sometime, I'll be a doing a 1hr a day acclimation, ramping up slowing over a few weeks till I get to 5-6hrs, though this depends on my par readings. The plan for this light is to hang it behind the facing towards the front of the tank.
More dry rock is cycling for a major re-aquascape I've been finding dead spots in the tank and we're trying to eliminate with more flow or moving structures. More to come as I research and make decisions.
We're combating a small crop up of turf algae... We added additional cleaning crew to hopefully help in the fight. If all else fails we'll probably address this with a fluconazole treatment.
New growth:
Branching Duncan has two more heads growing!
Branching hammer three new heads
Indo green torch two heads
Shortcake acro encrusting over plug.
Livestock in QT:
Splatter Pearl Bubble Coral - genus: Physogyra lichtensteini
Sunkist Bounce
Aussie acro colony
Next update:
Par readings from the Orphek
Aquascape update
Adding a Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse
Increased feeding or not to?!?
Stay tuned!
