Its love in the water hehehehehe the clown fell in love with the mushroom

I had some turf looking bubble algea that appeared on the rocks this past week but i got it taken care of i will let you know if it comes back. I dont think it will. Over this past week i had a few hitchhickers appear in the tank that i had to take care of. I had something that looked like aptasia dont know if it was but i kalk it so it is gone it might now have been but didnt want to risk it it was hard to tell so i just kalk it. I have tons of little feather dusters all over the rocks now. I have a scheduled water changed for the nano and big tank sometime soon.

Am-0
Nitrite-0
Nitrarte-5
pH-8.4
Ca-440
dKH-9.9
Temp-80


I plan to update my website with some tank specs on this nano as for flow, flights, and the test levels. I dont have anything in the tank specs part on the 10 gallon on my website right now www.timsreeftank.com

No on/off switch just wire it right into the ballast and then plug it into a timer Here are a few pics that might help ya i hope.
