To start the monday, I added in this other Ric to the pico from my main tank.. :P Today is the Beginning of Week 9 of pico :)

Clam doing very well... regular dosing of bits of CA, MG and KH on top of the weekly WC of about 1.5L using matured tank water.

FTS as of today.. :P

Ketchup wants me to bring home the sunkist.. hhmmm... :P

Having algae problem.. will be turning off the light from Friday afternoon and turn it back on MOnday. Also will replace the chemipure and rowaphos in the IOS on Monday during the next water change.

Have also decreased my photoperiod from 8 hours down to 6. Hope that helps.

Already changed 1L of water today after I scrubbed some of the rocks and clipped off some algae using my scissors. HAHA... couldn't tahhan anymore!

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

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. :yahoo:

Cheers, ;)

After almost a month away and coming back once every 2 weeks for a MAJOR 50% WC each time, my PIco has survived ... thanks to my team mate for doing top ups and feeding my one and only fish.

Can't find my pom pom crab but other than that my snails and lone fish is alive! :)

Top down shot can see the Rics on the sand.

UPdate of my pico in office.. after much Searching.. finally found a small algae blenny to help munch on the copious amounts of algae.. and this morning the little one is already doing it's work munching on the rocks!

trying this small long tentacle plate coral.. will monitor it's progress in my Pico, if it doesn't respond well to the environment, I' will shift it to my 4 footer back home.
