A certain part of my reef looks like this 7 months ago

​

This is how it looks today!

​

The two deep red colonies is the same on both pictures.

Here is some more pictures from today

Sometimes you do things - not thinking of what will happens in the next hours or so. This is a type of thing happens for me today- around 17:00 o'clock - I did something and it result in a drop of pH. This drop have nothing to do with the facts that my wife crash the living room couch with a good book around that time (higher CO2 level in the living room) - it a result of a thing I did with the aquarium some minutes before.

The guessing game is on (and I did not crash in the same couch - adding more CO2 to the air:p)

Hint - I changed out something.

So what was it?

I change my GFO media - 50% GFO and 50% Al based media. this one source of lowering the pH that´s normal is not accounted for.

Some of my clams is placed rather close to the front window of the aquarium. Hence - the mantle touch the window when its fully expanded. I have to clean my windows every second to third day. This what will be developed if the window there the mantle touch the window not will be cleaned in 2 days - a film of calcium carbonate on the window. The force of calcification is strong among clams!!!

Same part of the window after cleaning

Wow! I had no idea they could grow quite that fast. Wish my Hippo Tang hadn't killed my clam.

Hello Lasse.
I saw a Butterflyfish in a video in your youtube channel.
It looks like a short nose Cooperband.
Which fish is that?
Regards,
Alex

 

[Lasse]

I´m sorry to say that this fish died after 1.5 months and I have not been able to get a new one. I get it 1 of february and when I come home after a weeklong trip to Norway (it was the days we was allowed to visit Norway) I could not found him/her. The name is Parachaetodon ocellatus and should be rather reef safe what I understand. I did not see him/her doing any damage on my corals. I want a butterfly in the tank and looking for a very small copperband or this fish in the future.

Thank you both

Here is some new (but with old content) pictures from my reef

First my "linslus" (photobomber in swedish :D)

​

This is a test - how is the meanest - this one or the GSP in the background. I have always want to have this hard coral - but it is known as a ******. But maybe it can fight the GSP in the background - we will see

​

I like mushrooms - here is some from the tank

​

just like in nature it can get crowded - I have not told my corals how important it is with social distancing today:p - Maybe I should

​

And of cause - some Cardinals

​

And I do not understand how these coloured sticks could get into my aquarium

You have a fantastic and unique reef. The movement is memorizing! Can we use that video to highlight your reef tank thread here? :)

I'm sorry to hear that, Lasse.
That's a very beautiful and unusual fish.
I only saw it one time in a store here in Brasil.
I almost took him home, but the lack of information about feeding and behaviour towards corals made me rethink. What a shame.
I have now a Cooperband. If I see another one someday, maybe I can give it a try.

Regards,
Alex.

@Alex Costa Here is some links

It seems like it is difficult to feed this fish. I feed mine with frozen artemia and black mosquito larvae - he/she eat all the time but was rather spinny when I got him/her. They are seldom here too - it was a special delivery that got this fish to me.

You have a talent with the camera and reefs, old man. Spectacular on both levels. :)
