Tank Maintenance - 3/5/06:

36 Bow:
All is well, 10 gallon water change done

Seahorse Tank:
Doing well, 10 gallon water change done, added some snails from florida pets

120 Reef:
Added a bunch of snails (cerith/nerite/trochus) and some hermits from Florida Pets, another great order from them. The cyano is slowly fading, growth on the sps and lps continues, most of the zo's are looking better.

Tank readings prior to water change: Specific gravity = 1.024, pH 8.4 (hmm - maybe from the reef plus additives over time, or perhaps the carbon change), Alk = 90mg/l, Calcium 400 mg/L (i have cut in half the reef plus to start watching the calcium closer to see when i need to supplement), NH3 = 0.0, N03 = <5mg/L, N02 = <0.1 mg/L

40 gallon water change made with premixed IO and RO (tds 0)

still not getting much out of the skimmer , i am maybe getting a cup/weekof dry nasty stuff.
