Day 3

Day 3 and the pH is still 8.2 and the ammonia seems to have actually dropped a little to below 0.12ppm.

I have not been running the lights the first two days except for a few hours a day so some of the coraline algae is turning white. From this day forward the lights will run friom 7am to 7pm.

I will also be increasing the flow by taking a Maxi-Jet 1200 (295gph) from my fresh tank and swapping it out from for the small 170gph powerhead I have in there now. This way I will have two 295gph powerheads in the tank.

Here is a really bad pciture of the crab I have living in the tank. I do not think he is a gorilla crab. If you look REALLY close on the right side of the hole you can barely see him.



A hermit crab living in the tank, I have found hermits from 1 inch long to nearly just a mm or two long!
