38 MONTHS

It's 2 months into the new year but nothing much happened this month because I was still kind of caught up with other stuff.

Aquarium 1  (1 ft cube - 27 litres)
I haven't managed to get the chiller for this aquarium, so it is status-quo for this aquarium and I won't post any photos.

The livestock are:

• Fishes
• False Percula Clownfish
• 2 Fire Gobies
• Invertebrates
• Turbo Snails
• Cleaner Skunk Shrimp
• Corals
• LPS
• 2 Supersun Corals
• Macroalgae
• green Algae
• Chaetomorpha algae

The technical information is as follows:

• Atman HF-0600 HOB Filter
• Maxspect Razor Nano 60W (10,000K)
• Tunze Nano Osmolator

Aquarium 3 (3 x 1.5 x 1.5 feet and sump - 250 litres)

This month, I lost the Yellow Tang, one of my favourite solid colour fishes which added a beautiful yellow to the other bluish aquarium. I will not be replacing it for the time being because of the existing Purple Tang. The Rose Bud Tip Anemone is a threat to the other fishes now and measures about 8-10 cm across.

Something happened to the doser, which I was totally clueless for a while, until I realized the water level in the dosing container didn't drop. Well, I managed to get it back up but the kH level has dropped really low. I measured it on 28 Feb 16 and it read 5.5, so I need to raise it to at least 8.
