Nano Reef Tank Updates:

Info July '07: 07/07 - Water change. Trimmed some diseased looking tissue off the xenia--let the water go too long. Clown charged me, flew out of the water into the rear compartments, had to fish her out. Recently fragged the torch so it is 1/2 the size it was last month.

Info June '06: 06/02 - Cleaned glass, filter, thereby infuriating clownfish. Removed paly rock (upper left), zapped it with boiling water to kill pests around the polyps. New anemone clone seems to be doing well. Some small patches of cyano on sand, rocks. 06/18: Added 2 leather frags, red mushroom.

Info May '06: Mid-May: the anemone has split into two and is coming out of hiding. /// Cam back up as of 05/24--had to shuffle computer parts around. Tank re-arranged to put the green discosoma rock in the shade. SPS doing poorly but it was a long shot to start with.

New 04/06: Orange discosoma, green hydnophora rigida, mystery SPS frag from PSAS club meeting. As expected the SPS are browning, not enough light for their best colors.

New 03/06: Six-line wrasse

New 02/06: blue anthelia, rose bubble tip anemone, red zoas, orange rhodactis, metallic blue discosoma

November '05: Initial setup.
