| date: | details: | | 071115 | Fa6d, C8d, i6d, W1g | | 071117 | Fa6d, C8d | | 071118-071124 | Fa[3x6] | | C[3x8] | W[1] | i[6] | | 070825 | added: 6lbs live rock, Seachem Purigen filter bag (100ml), chemipure filer bag (1/2 unit), 3 hermit crabs, 3 turbo snails. (2 dead?). Filtered sand (bad idea-too long to settle, everything was outside of tank and getting cold.) W2.5g over course of event. | | 070826 | Bad test results. added W1.5, C18d, i6. removed one dead snail. | | 070829 | One branch of Xenia looks dead. Removed other dead snail. Water results looking better. Ordered replacement pump (I think the one in there isn't strong enough.) and new fan for the one that buzzes. | | 071125-071201 | Fa[1x6] | Fp[2x.5] | C[4x18] | W[4] | i[6] | | 071206 | Added new pump to the tank. Water flow increased x2 or x3. Huge improvement in cleanliness. Made casette skimmer (detachable.)Coral looking good again. | 071202-
071208 | Fa[1x6] | Fp[3x.5] | C[7x18] | W[1] | i[0] | | 071208 | Surviving Xenia: large ~21 arms, med 6 arms, small 4 arms | | 071213 | Star Polyp mini frag ~ 3 branches. | | 071216 | added rock with two mushrooms (Actinodiscus) on it -green/purple-red | 071209-
071215 | Fa[3x6] | Fp[2x.5] | C[2x18, 5x24] | W[1] | i[6] | | 071218 | added yellow colony polyps (Zoanthid) to tank. Overnight amphipods cleaned off all algae on rock and removed the sickly pods. 14 healthy pods remain. | 071216-
071222 | Fa[3x6] | Fp[4x.5] | C[32,36,36, 3ml,3x2ml] | W[1] | i[0] | | 071226 | amphipods decimated zoanthid population. Ate one or two a night, and then cleaned off the remianing pieces. Mostly worked at night.( I don't think this is what killed my earlier zoanthid populations, but I'm afraid to bring any new zoo's in.) The zoo's were healthy, and I didn't see anything else attacking them (nudi's etc.) remaining rock has three unidentified macro algae on it (possibly one is a stony coral--it retracts into a honey-comb pattern at night.) I am allowing these to grow so I can ID them.
Removed large portion of vermetid population, they were taking over. | | 071127 | Replaced bulb. LONG overdue. Color is very different--much cleaner, much bluer. Tips of star polyps nearest light have been greening up and look greener under new light. Hoping they are will turn much greener. Large xenia had a new small hand. Medium had a new arm bud. | | 071223 - 071229 | Fa[1x6+] | Fp[2x.5tsp] | C[3x2ml, 3x3ml] | W[1] | i[0] | | 080105 | Clam appeared on top of water line overnight. Gone the next day. Xenias all have doubled their arm buds ober the week. New nubs grew next to each existing arm bud. | | 071230 - 080105 | Fa[3x6] | Fp[2x2.5ml] | C[6x2.5ml, 1x3ml] | W[1] | i[0] | | 080111 | Added new coral. current tank inhabitants: soft corals:

Briareum sp. (star polyp)
Capnella sp. (taro tree)
Capnella sp. (neon pinapple trea)
