Hey all, sorry it has been so long.. work has been crazy and I have taken up Karate 4 nights a week so I havent had much time to really think about anything else.. but things have calmed down (for the moment at least) so I thought I would pop my head in and say hi!!
My 20gL nano is going fantastic!!! I started it on feb 5th so it is now 4 months old. the live rock is gaining coraline algae like mad and all my bad algae is basicly null which is great! I have been a bad girl on water changes but have been testing every month to make sure all was well.. I am so supprised that the only thing that needed tweeking was my alkalinity.. it had dropped to 8.4.. which isn't too big of deal... am now in the process of tweeking it. but I have a Royal Gramma and a sexy anneme shrimp and an assortment of snails and Hermits. I am WAY over due for more in habitants.. so tomarrow Im off to my lf store to get a basic clown... and a cleaner shrimp ( the scarlet shrimp or fire shrimp.. which ever they have).. verry exciting! I was so nervous for so long for not knowing what I was doing. but I guess all my research and my conservative ways in filtration, feeding and my hads off approach has really worked! life is good. I will get some new pics up tomarrow after I have brought home my new inhabitants.
