I remember catching them shrimp when crabbing, I could watch those guys do their job for days and not get bored!

Update
Removed a lot of sea weed because when I had high temperatures before I fitted the fans I think the bubble rack started to die off in places so looking at the bigger picture I pulled it and the most delicate sea weed the sea lettuce is doing fine something learnt again . Tank temp is stable at 17 and we have a little heat wave over in the uk at the moment. All Anemones doing grate . Shrimps eating like mad . Also Norman did a MJackson moon walk across my floor but is totally fine need to put mesh over the tank removed the lid for fans . Everything is settled in and running good so it can be done in 34litres of water and doesn’t look too bad . My next outing I am looking only for fish so I will update you all on that . So I will leave you with a photo of the nano and sorry about the reflection of me in it lol

Yep just letting things settle in . I had read high temperatures kill the sea weed . But the sea lettuce is growing and then the shrimps trim it . Going looking for small fish when the weather cools down then more algae but this will suck my nitrate out if too much . Your thoughts welcome my friend

In terms of fish you definitely need a Worm Pipefish!
And a Cornish sucker.

Todays up date started doing natural sea water
Changes in both my tanks native and tropical marine tanks . Water testing done with salfert test kits so
ph 8.4
Ammonia 0
Nitrate 0
Phosphate 0
Cal 420
Mag 1290
Alk 7
SG 1.027
The only thing I see high is the SG but it hasn’t rained in weeks so that could be why that reading is high but that can be sorted with a little rodi water . What do you guys think to the readings . Input welcome from you all
