Hi all,
thought it was about time i updated this thread a bit, (hasn't time flown by!)
been a bit hectic all thanks to this little guy:
anyways whats been happenning................well...........
after xmas i found time to plumb in the frag tank into the larder behind the tank:
the water flows from the main display down into the bottom of the frag tank, water rises in the tank and flows out and then down into the original sump under the main display. quite a bit of piping but by using gravity rather than extra pumps, theres no chance of flooding! have also added a tap for easy water changes.
in the main tank i've had a few shuffle rounds since getting it all going but am starting to be happy with it. The KR91 LED units really are great but due to the tank having 2ft width they just don't have the lateral spread of leds i need. if i was loaded i would just get another one, but am gonna make do with a 4x 39w T5 unit i got cheap. this should really boost the light and colour in the tank!
of the inhabitants, i lost alot of the stock in the house move and subsequent spikes, but the clowns, yellow gobies and bangaii cardinals all survived.
in fact they're all doing rather well. the clowns have gone hyper aggressive which can only mean spawning is immenent. the yellow gobies are back to spawning every month, and my bangaii male is currently carrying they're first brood. due to drop any day now!!!
have added to the stock with a hectors goby and a flasher wrasse.
anyways some pics. corals aren't fully out as i'd just moved some bits around but u get the idea.
will try and be around abit more now things have settled down a bit!
