10 Gallon Nano Reef: Day 51
The tank looks cloudy because i had just dosed it with some PurpleUp! 20 minutes before i decided to make a video 2 months is nearing in. Its been awhile since my last update so i thought id just do another video just to show off my new corals and what not. Unfortunately i had my first casualties. The scarlet reef hermit decided to kill one of my astrea snails and take its shell, and secondly i got a yellow watchman that was a little beat up but i guess didn’t make it. it was doing fine the first 4 days i had it then disappeared and then the skimmer just started going crazy so i guess he died and then one of the crabs pulled him under a rock. I purchased a dremel tool and some diamond cutting discs as i intend to do a lot of fragging in the future starting off with the rock of ricordea mushrooms because there’s too much on the rock for the size of it and everything’s going to be touching sooner or later. Lastly I’m curious as too what that little shelled creature is. I’m thinking some sort of clam or scallop. I also have seemed to have solved the gurgling problem, i stop a piece of airline tubing down the air vent of the PVC overflow and a piece of filter sponge in the overflow where the water goes into.
