Cycle finished (Week 5)

2 Clowns added along with CUC (Astreas, Zombies, Strombs and a few small hermits).

Diatom bloom is getting pretty out of control and consuming all the nitrates etc. so can’t wait for that to end.

Beginnings of some green hair algae on the higher up rocks

Thinking about a tang as next addition for additional algae control.

Oh and some updates on the system

I plumbed the Clarisea with a Vectra S2 and its been working great (photo below)

I made some better space to use the refugium area and put the divider back in by….

  • Moving the heaters to the DT – they are just too big and awkward in the sump
  • Shifted skimmer into the space allocated for “reactors” which I’m not using.
