ReefCentral thread

For those interested in following the events related to my 480g project, take note that I sometimes write stuff on ReefCentral that I do not repeat on here. So feel free to visit my thread there.

Merger

Seems I like consolidating things... I have just merged my reef blog with my main blog - I just hate all these billions of small sites floating around.

I'd much rather have one place where I can blog about everything and people can filter based on the categories they are interested in.

Hope this works better for everyone.

I've got copepods!

About four days ago I started seeing very faint signs of diatoms on my glass - and knew it was not long before the pods would start showing up. Well, three days ago I started noticing them - thousands of tiny copepods.

This is a good day.

An update on my reef

I have not posted any pictures of my reef aquarium in a long time, so here goes:

Some pictures from the 480g

My 480g tank is doing quite good... I am starting to have good micro algae growth so the snails should be happier.

Here is a shot of my Chocolate Chip Starfish eating some juicy mussel:

My Anemone Hermit Crab loves to walk all around the tank:

12g Nano Project

I have just purchased a 12g nano tank. I will post a full update in a couple of days.
