I must say that it is a job very well done!

Thank you Weapon Master but it's far from over and more money is going to be spent.....

my lawnmower blenny striking a pose..... it's camaflouge is really good. Never liked this fish before because of it's drab colors but they really seem to be amusing going about their activities....

[Weapon_Master]

Woh really envy man ! My coco worm is like half dead and in one lump.

Finally got the CA test kit (Cause no corals yet except 1 coco worm) and realised that my CA level is far too high above 500ppm level. Gotta start bringing that down to 420ppm level .

My only 2 Perc Clowns left in the tank is still doing ok today and feeding (Thank God)

Finally knew that they were down with ulcer and possible fungus infection and started dosing Waterlife Myxazin. Hopefully they will recover soon.

This means more discipline of no addition of fishes for the next few weeks .

Bro , Weapon.....is your nitrate levels and phosphate levels doing alright? Sometimes they are sensitive to that..... Need to check your akalinity and salinity too bro Weapon.

Another check...is your circulation good with DT feeding for your worms?

[Weapon_Master]

I my KH is 10 which should be ok. I havent checked PO4 as well. Havent got the test kit yet actually but will do so this week. PO4 will spike so soon? My tank only barely 2 months old. I already have rowaphos and getting my calcium plus this weekend.

I am currently feeding using Marine Snow. Heard the DT live plankton is better? Water circulation/movement should be ok. Can see some left over food on the sand bed being stir up with I power up my cannister filter.

Thx for sharing your experience.

Hi bro Weapon , yes DT phytoplankton is good for your worms and other corals you intend to get later on. PO4 is of concern too but since you have your Rowaphos it should be down. Get a test kit just to be sure.

What about your water changes and the top up water you're using? The Coco's are sensitive to that too.

Bro Weapon , you should get some clean - up crew to feed off any unwated food thats left on the sandbed. This will increase your PO4 just be careful.....

You're welcome about sharing.....
