Skippy and the fishies
Skippy was a good guy and posed for a picture. (I wish the fish would do that!)
new desk
I am enjoying a new office today. I have a new glass desk next to my marine tank and the front window. Very cool.
JD cleaned the tanks again yesterday. A 3 week interval from the last cleaning to try to improve the water quality more quickly. He fed the aptasia more Joe's Juice and scraped down the algea, which he says is cyanoalgea that I should treat to get rid off.
cleaning help
Today JD from Tropic Isle cleaned my tanks for me. I just haven't been keeping up with them. Nitrate was at 20 - a bit too high. Also the lights were old, aptasia and cyanoalgea out of control. JD scraped the tanks well, changed 30 gallons using his deionized water, got rid of many aptasia using Joe's Juice and changed the light bulbs. He recommended getting the refugium lights onto a timer and adding more caulerpa and other types of seaweed to the refugium. He suggested adding snails to the tank to work on the algea on the glass, treating the cyanoalgea soon if it doesn't go away as the tank gets cleaner, and adding some shrimp to control the small aptasia.
