Thanks all am really trying - tanks sucking up a lot of time recently and have delivery of some sea horses tomorrow for the 130 will post pics
Here a couple pics of the tank .... New things changes and some growth
I have invested in a bubble magnus doser and basically screwed up on mg so long story short decided to fit my filter sock fully DIY style as I couldn't get myself to pay £25 for a holder - seems to have worked
Also been running bio pearls in a reactor for 4 weeks and changed the macro algae in my sump before the pearls to chaeto
The sock has helped remove a lot of the precipitation particles and luckily nothing seemed to be affected - a lot clearer now and levels all in safe zones
Need to balance them out then let them drop to check how much is being used/what I need to dose........
Have also been using red sea reef energy a+b and can't say it's done any harm the one visual thing I have noticed is the extension of the polyps
also feeding reef pearls food on a auto feeder twice a day and the corals do seem to love it and got same make skimmer but bigger 2nd hand for cheap so waiting for that Saturday or Monday
My QT has now turned into another fish tank!!! With two clown (black/white) and a chalk goby these will be joined tomorrow by a pair of black baby sea horses and fake corals/latching poles
The sea horses are from a tank that has two clown orange and white as well as pipe fish and some other bigger yellow sea horses ( sorry don't know all the names) re sorted the chambers at the rear I the tank replacing the sponges with live rock adding some sponges to the third chamber OH and adding a reefloat auto top up. external filter filled with sponges......... May have to slow it down for the sea horses but hopefully not
Haven't actually got many BUT will take some pictures tomorrow so you can all feedback to me what you think!
Thanks for looking and all comments/advice
