This is my good friend ‘Dougy’ as we call him.
He always looks a little bit grumpy, well a lot grumpy really, but he’s a real character....
He likes to basque in the lush grass.
No, non of the other fish bother him at all, infact everyone gets along with no issues. He is a Starry Blenny by the way.Do any of your tangs bother him? I’ve got a Kole Tang and would like a tailspot blenny, but worried the Kole will chase him for grazing space.
I was trying to get NO3 down from around 16ppm (or rather under my control) but Po4 is locked down to 0-0.03 with Rhowaphos in a Deltec FR509 reactor so no issues there. I’ve never had to dose phosphate.Shaun,
A few months ago you were dealing with high NO3 and dosing PO4 if I recall correctly. How did that play out? Are you dosing PO4?
Shaun,
We both tumble Rowa for phosphates and it will do the job.
I used to keep nitrates at about 4-5, but now they hang at about 7.
After we read the "Reef Master's"... ;Wideyed, I don't chase certain nitrate #'s and high is way better than, bottomed out
I’ve taken a picture of my spreadsheet I use for making notes of everything. Including now, changing the rear vents.
I did it because time goes by and you think its not been long since you have done something or dosed, and its months back so I set this up when i first started out and its been invaluable.That is awesome. Love spreadsheets. My tank is not even wet yet and I have several spreadsheets going already.
So here in the U.K. it was raining, again, so I couldn’t go hitting my little white ball ‘in all directions’ so decided I would do a 120 litre water change. And then I thought I’ll change the rear circulation vents, and then I thought I’ll change the main pump........
The reason you should change the rear vents on the S Series, is that if you don’t they get encrusted with Coraline algae and then they become a pain in the bottom to get out, especially when balancing on one leg on the plastic stool kindly provided by Red Sea to carry out such tasks!
They all came out easily apart from one! I had to get a spanner out to grip it. Have you ever considered how light diffraction affects attaching a spanner to a vent under water whilst balancing on one leg, trying not to fall off the stool and reaching into the depths of the back of the tank! I kept missing it all the time and it took me a good 10 minutes before I finally grabbed it!
Anyway a new set are in and the old ones are in a bucket of citric acid with the main pump and will stay there for a week or so soaking.

Thanks @najer !My last jewel loved the cleaner shrimps, great pics.
That is awesome. Love spreadsheets. My tank is not even wet yet and I have several spreadsheets going already.
What I tend to do is just overwrite the column data when it gets out of the view I can see on the screen. I like it all to be easily viewable you see.Just wanted to note, I was relooking at your spreadsheet image for an idea and it occurred to me, you may want to switch the orientation of your data. You have many, many more rows available in Excel than columns. Has happened to me before with dates and when the columns run out it sucks.
