All right,

major water change - levels doing great

ph 8.1
Temp 78 (droppped this after more reading)
SG 1.023
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrate 12.5ish

Will do another small water change in a couple days to try and reduce nitrates a bit further. In the mean time I'd like to introduce my new cleaning crew.

Consisting of (due to supply limitations at the LFS)

3x nassarius snails

4x trochus snails (buy 3 get one free, no joke) - these guys are a bit large and I hear they can be clumsy, knock over coral etc, but for now they are cleaning away.

1 x scarlet hermit crab

1 x fire shrimp (pretty shy so far)

Enjoy the pics :-)
