WEEK 17 (4 months and 1 week!)
Last week, I treated myself to a new fishy, ('Pinkie' - The Scooter Blenny).
I also went a bit mental and splashed out on a new camera ... a Canon EOS 60D ... it is truly A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! My old Canon EOS 450D, (Rebel XSI), was good but the 60D is super fast resulting in some spectacular images when used with a Macro 60mm lens .... check out the images below for clarity )) The camera also sports 1080HD Video so will give that a go shortly
I have also succeeded in raising the dropped water paramters over the past few weeks … calcium is now 430 and magnesium at 1420.Everything else is perfect yaaaaay!
I think the dip happened after trying a new liquid calcium product by Kent Marine, which I found didn't work for me, so I went back to Red Sea products with success - think I will stick with Red Sea
Decided against getting a rose tip anemone also and have left the massive toadstool in there .. Ginger loves it and I cant bring myself to removing her home
My current livestock, (non coral), now consists of 12 Fish, 4 Shrimps and CUC:
2 x Clowns (Fred & Ginger)
1 x Midas Blenny, (Wiggles)
1 x Orchid Dottyback, (Guyliner)
1 x Coral Beauty, (Charlie)
1 x White Sleeper Goby, (Blanche)
1 x Neon Goby, (Sticky)
1 x Green Goby, (Stripy)
1 x Peacock Wrasse, (Spotty)
1 x Herald's Angel, (Harriet)
1 x Scarlet Hawkfish, (Goggles)
1 x Scooter Blenny, (pinkie)
2 x Cleaner Shrimp, (Nip & Tuck)
1 x Peppermint Shrimp, (Rennie)
1 x Blood Shrimp, (Ruby)
1 x Red Starfish, (Thumbs)
15+ Various crabs and snails ....
I am now uploading images to my own server as I seem to have maxed out on space and have no idea how to mass delete old images .. it is only letting me do it one by one … :-(
Here are some new images using my Canon EOS 60D ...
