Hi Everybody
It has been a long time since i posted anything here so i thought i would just update you all what has been going on.
The tank has now been going for 1 year and i have finally got rid of that stupid noisy good for nothing filter system it came with and now installed an external filter which has got an intergral UV filter. It has only been going for two weeks now.
I have also installed the Deltec 300 skimmer, it just went in between my tank and wall. The depth of skimmer is 12cm, i had 12.5 so fits nicely and works a treat. Had to modify the outlet to close the lid and i removed the condensation glass
I now have no noise what so ever from either the filter or the skimmer.
Tank contents:-
Fish
1 Sailfin Tang - 1st fish i bought
1 Common Perc - 2nd fish i bought
1 Green Chromis - had 5 but others died over the year
1 Violet Wrasse
2 other fish my wife has bought no got names of them yet, but good fun to watch
Inverts & Coral
2 Cleaner Shrimps
4 Hermits
Turbo snails
Green Pulsating Xenia
Blue Pulsating Xenia
Green Xenia
Red Mushrooms
Green Mushrooms
Toadstool Mushroom
Over the year i have lost the following:-
1 Common Perc
1 Black & White Clown - named Shearer
4 Green Chromis
1 Gold Goby
1 Dragonet
2 Angels - Coral Beauty and Rusty. Beauty died within 3 weeks so did the Rusty, They were not in together. Water was good but do not know why lost these two so quick. Any thoughts appreciated
Twice now the corals have gone pretty ragged over the year but come back strongley again not sure why.
Any thoughts of what other fish/corals i should have a go with in this tank would be appreciated.
How long do your Turbos last for? over the year seemed to go through them quite a lot do not know how long they should live for in the tank. I expect the Hermits are also helping themselves to them
Finally question on the filter - opinions on what should be in there. I have four containers - 1 being top container.
1 - Filter floss
2 - Carbon/Silicon remover
3 - Bio Balls
4 - Ceramic rings
I am going to remove the rings and put in live rock. Opinions please as what should be in there would be fully appreciated.
Cheers
