Received my shipment from Reefermadness this morning, and I couldn't have been anymore thrilled. I was rushed before work to get everything in the water, so I was worried all day that something wouldn't make it, but after coming home tonight, I got to take a better look at everything, especially my pair of Amphiprion perculas, they are in great shape, and one is a misbar, on one side it looks as if he only has two stripes, and the other he has a broken back stripe.
My Monty's Helper package specimens were scurrying about the tank already doing their jobs.
And my small zoanthid colony that I ordered are already out in full polyp extension. They are Green skirted, some with a powder blue ring, and then a bright green of yellow center.
Any a suprise for me in the box this morning, a second zoo colony, a freebie!
It has various colored polyps, red skirts, green, even a few pink. It's truly one nice coral.
Another thing that I'm proud of is how fast my coraline algae is now spreading, I must be doing something right, my rocks are turning a beautiful purple with various spots of the brightest pink that I've ever layed eyes on.
My calcium levels were a little low, so tonight I started to mix up kalk and add to my tank, I'm sure it will help greatly with coraline growth.
Levels:
pH: 8.2
Nitrites: 0.0
Nitrates: 5.0
Ammonia: 0.0
Calc: before kalk approx: 300
SG: 1.024
temp: 78F
I know all of you are going...PICS PICS but the lights are out for now until later this morning, so I will try to get some pics up by tomorrow afternoon. You will have to be patient with me because I only have a point and shoot camera, and my close-ups will most likely be horrible.
