My River Reef 94 Marine Adventure!

They get huge and eat polyps think I would want it out of my tank, apparently they like smelly cockles, so you could use them in a trap, but be warned they don't usually venture all the way out of their holes so you will have to be cunning, but then as a 'criminal lawyer' I expect you know a thing or two about being cunning

Eunice are pest worms "But" some species will cause no problems but it would need a posotive ID but good luck on that one

sounds like a nightmare as I;ve only seen it once in 3 months andit was so quick at darting backi into the bottom rock out of my scape!! typical eh

also I see a bristlework in same rock every now and again, saw it last night and its about 7 inches!! looks quite impressive and scary at the same time!

indeed, it could jump up and bite you on the nose!!! hang on, I've got an idea, maybe Flash could sniff it out!!! No, no, thinking about it, if someone is going to get bitten, it really should be you and not the lovely Flash can you imagine explaining that to swmbo!!

testing now before the water change tomorrow

ph 8.0 so up on last time
sg 1.024
ammonia 0 down on last time
nitrate 25 although slightly darker than 25 but not as dark as50 up on last time
calcium 240 - worryin

a water change will help those figures

just did my own salt miz with tropic marin salt but same RO water it was 460!!! much better

 

[seffieuk]

Much better in fact one could even say good

forgot to mention as well I bought off a dark side forum user a royal gramma and 2 clown fish

Now I know thats too many to addd in one go but thisguy was selling them cheap and they were going the LFS that day as he was going away through the army

The Royal Gramma is huge, its gorgeous although shy until it bares its big mouth to the shrimp that invades its space

I said I wouldn;t get clowns again after the bad time I;d had with them but these have been with the previous owner 18 months andagain are big and lovely looking

pics to follow with my new camera

 

[seffieuk]

Looking oforward to seeing the photos, just keep a close eye of stats and you will be fine

If you see any spikes water changes are the answer but doubt you will have any problems

 

[simonas]

I hope not and as I am going to do my own salt mix having seen the massive improvement in calcium reading I;ll be better equipped for a water change

I;ve also started taking my sun coral out to feed rather than it all all going in the tank and the left over mysis/brine goes in my puffer tank
