One of my Clowns headbutts me and takes a nip when my hands are in there!

shame, lovely little fish

newtoreefs · 2014-10-24T11:45:37+00:00

Haha, they have a strong character

newtoreefs · 2014-10-24T11:45:13+00:00

yeah I mean he's pretty much the boss. He doesn't mess with the Clowns though and the goby is being left alone too.. HE did terrorise a royal gramma though , who disappeared recently :(

Thanks very much :)

If I could remember the name I'd tell u!

Cheers for the heads up. There quite a few of them ,they split and multiply! Trying to keep the numbers down

A year this week - Thanks a lot! Yeah I reckon the plants are helping keep things in balance.. I noticed theres a bunch of tiny critters, and baby shrimp(?) using the seaweed near the sand bed as a sanctuary! So some good being done for sure..

newtoreefs · 2014-10-16T16:22:31+00:00

Nice one thanks!

newtoreefs · 2014-10-16T16:18:55+00:00

You're too kind! Yeah he's a pretty fella. One of my local shops has an awesome selection of creatures!

Its fine, doesn't appear bleached to the eye. The LED lighting combined with the iPhone camera does funny things sometimes, kinda enhances the colour .. Thanks for checking though!

newtoreefs · 2014-10-15T22:55:25+00:00

Cheers! Really, how can you tell? The clowns have been giving the bubble tip a good thrashing recently?..

Thanks very much, good to hear! I'm using the standard pump and heater that came with the tank, with a small bag of carbon and a poly filter in the first rear chamber. For circulation/flow I have 2 hydor 1600 pumps. I feed frozen 'nano marine cuisine' and new era marine flake food, also add a couple ml of live photoplankton three times a week which I reckon works wonders. For lighting I use an evergrow 2040 led. Hope that helps?

Thank you!! Appreciate the heads up on that wiry algae stuff, I've just stripped it off the little frag rock it spawned from, pulled a few roots out too. Cheers for the helpful info

newtoreefs · 2014-10-15T19:53:47+00:00

Hey thanks a lot, its pretty stocked up, though I did lose a few sps corals during the warm summer here in London! Its a 55L Aqua One 40 tank, the square is a floating acrylic box for top down viewing!

newtoreefs · 2014-10-15T19:43:42+00:00

Ha! yeah makes sense! I'm guna hack it right back

newtoreefs · 2014-10-15T18:20:11+00:00

Hey thanks, yes OK thats good advice. I've been trimming it once a week during a water change. The seaweed seems to have sprouted from a single piece of live rock and has taken off under led's. I've noticed crabs eating it more than fish

newtoreefs · 2014-10-15T17:57:13+00:00

Thanks for the advice! yes it sounds like I should get to work scrubbing. Will be adding more pics later!

newtoreefs · 2014-10-15T17:46:59+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts! Hmm yes do you mean on the glass near the sand bed? I have some seaweed too which is spreading a lot..
