Apologizes for missing our weekly update yesterday, but if you have ever been buried alive in paper work you can understand my plight. Suffice it to say that I have finally finished it all and now I can unwind ... wait we have a test tomorrow? Whelp there goes my weekend plans.
The frag tank is up and running and so far everything seems to be okay. I really need to get a new ammonia test kit, this fluval thing my lfs recommended is just not working for me the whole color scheme does not match id card, not to mention the 20 minute development time? pfff I'd rather just grab an api ammonia kit from petco! The main display seems to be just fine this week. The goby and pistol shrimp have had to evacuate their previous hole, due to the largest of my emerald crabs attempts to get in. So they moved literally 2 inches over.
My Finger Leather coral has just not seemed himself this week, perhaps he is shedding again? or maybe someone/thing is bothering him? Also my LA Laker zoas from WWC have been closed up for an extended period of time (To be fair, the hermits and snails have picked those frags clean of any algae that may have been on them, which is an added bonus.
I have no real goals this upcoming week outside of hopefully seeing some progress on the frag tank cycling.
Here are some other pictures of the reef from this week hope you have a good rest of your week, and hopefully I can get back on schedule with these updates.
As always feel free to leave a comment or question and I will hit you back as soon as I can.
