Hi everyone.
Well, my tank has been running about 2 weeks now. For those who didn't see my earlier threads, this is what it is:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2327370969
Anyway, I'm concerned about some of what look to be pests abounding in the tank, aptasia, other growths, and some critters I can't tell if they are flatworms or harmless slugs/cleaners.
Some of the soft corals are looking quite sad, others seem fine.
I've cut back feeding, am watching water parameters which all seem fine (ammo, nitrite zero, nitrate between 0 and 5, pH 8.1, temp 78, water at 1.023 or so.)
Some of the algae is just from the move, but it's the other stuff that has me concerned.
If anyone plans to be in or can easily get to the Oak Park area this weekend for a short look, my critters would be delighted and I'd be too.
pm or email me if you can check things out.
Thanks!
Joel
