Here is the progress of 2 weeks. Diatom bloom gone, and large coraline growth along with an unidentified neon green form of algae. Some additional macro algae growth as well.

I also started noticing good flat worms, Amphiscolops, and good mini snails. Copepods are everywhere from tiny the size of sand, to almost as long as a fingernail. Amazing the difference 2 weeks made.


Week 6. Diatoms bloom peaked a few days after this pic. I gently combed sand, cleaned pre-filter, cleaned glass, and added wavemaker JW-4 added 11 snailsand 1 emerlad crab
