I'll be adding 2 banner fish later on down the road. The LFS had a nice pair but I didn't want to add them at this time.
I'm adding small groups of fish every month until fully stocked. The hardier species are being added first. All the fish are doing fine this morning but 1 of the Chromis has separated himself from the group. I'm not sure if it's due to aggression or if this fish is taking the transition to the new tank harder than the rest. I'll keep my eye on him.
The cleanup crew is happily going about their business of munching on algae.
The AquaC Remora is doing it's job and I had a full cup of skimate to empty today. It should be operating at full throttle in a week...after the 'break-in'
Took some readings this afternoon (24 hrs since adding the fish)
ammonia 0
nitrites 0
nitrates 0
ph 8.3
phosphates 0
SG 1.025 @ 79F
I fed the fish with cyclopeeze this afternoon and they were eating well.
Next month I'll add the goby, blenny and wrasse.
