Last update before I leave office for 2 weeks.. leaving the pico in the hands of my colleague to care for with an emergency fellow Reefer colleague to fall back on in times of need. LOL, already left behind a bottle of RO/DI water, food etc with instruction to just feed twice a day with a couple of pellets and top up water on Mon/Wed/Fri. Have removed the rock of sunkists and purple fission back to the main tank at home.
FTS as of today
Top Down
Mini Maxi
BTA
Did a Major water change yesterday, plucked out as much algae as possible, cleaned the walls... will HAVE to buy some algae eating critters when I get back in 2 weeks time...have cut down the lighting to 5.5 hours a day.. so hopefully that helps a bit.
Good luck little tank.
