| enhanced photo of Aquarium 2 |
I always found that the photos I took were not representative of what I saw because of the colour misrepresentation. But one thing I did recently was to turn up the lights to increase the illumination to capture better lit photos.
So, anyway the following are the livestock and technical updates and the photos:
Aquarium 1 (1 ft cube - 27 litres)
I have recently removed another batch of basal sand with a lot of accumulated debris from this aquarium. It is still a far cry to how it used to look like because my attention was mostly spent on Aquarium 3. My Acans also deteriorated for a while since the damages by the Yuma mushrooms and recently it was worse because the Hector Goby loved to spit sand onto the Acan, causing some death of the heads. Anyway, I moved them to Aquarium 1 for some recuperation.
The list of livestock is as follows:
- Fishes
- Flameback Angel
- Yellow Shrimp Goby
- 2 black Ocellaris clowns
- Hector Goby
- Invertebrates
- Cleaner Skunk Shrimp
- big red Hermit Crab & 3 small red Hermit Crabs
- 3 Turbo Snails
- Nassarius Snail
- small yellow Feather Duster Worm
- medium Clam
- Corals
- Soft Corals
- unknown Anthelia (with a lot of dieback recently)
- Zoas
- Xenia
- Rose Bud Tip Anemone
- Mushrooms
- a few loose blue Actinodiscus mushrooms
