Hallo everybody, this is my first post.
I keep a 58 liters Nano Reef since month and a half ago. So far things seem to be in order.
The SG is 1.026, temp 27'C, NO2 0ppm, NO3 5ppm, PO4 0.1ppm, Calcium at 440, lights 2x 10000K 18 Watts compact fluorescent Blue-White tubes for 12 hours.
2 A. ocellaris
4 Hermit crabs
2 Astrea snails
1 Throchus
5 Mitrae snails
Corals;
Turbinatia, Cynarina, Thrachyphyllia, Plerogyra, Goniopora, Zoanthids and Clavularia viridis.
Macro algae; Caulerpa taxifolia
All corals are doing fine but the Goniopora (in a last few days).
I was warned about Goni being a very hard coral to keep.
Is there anything else I can do to keep this coral in top shape?
I am performing 20% water change weekly.
Dosing All In One from Salifert 1ml weekly.
Dosing Calcium chloride 1ml weekly.
Dosing Iodine 1ml every second week.
I feed the corals 2-3 times a week with Phytoplankton and Cyclop-eeze.
They also get some pieces of Artemia fed to the Clownies.
This aquarium is equipped with 2 fans keeping the temp down, and has a skimmer with a 1000 l/h needle pump.
I have 2 circulation pumps;
1. Maxi Jet 680 l/h attached to the Bio Flow (Hydor).
2. Ferplast 250 l/h
Comments appreciated :)
Kind regards, Dusko.
