Murphs_Reef Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Massive growth on all GSP now, see 14th July page 15 for comparison of just 2 weeks growth. This is just one of the many pieces I have. For perspective that's grown 2cm in all directions. 4 Quote Link to comment

All my tanks have an abundance of both, I’m sure, plus bristleworms galore. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe my maintenance has gone to deep?! But I don't water change anymore either. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Murphs_Reef Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 It's a TODAY job lol.. I'm getting an inkbird today as I had a bit of a heat issue on Saturday where the tank dropped to 21°c. My own fault I unplugged the heater and didn't put it back in. But it got me thinking about it and I don't have any visual way temp as well as only have 1 x 300 watt heater. What if that was to give in? It might be hours or if it's a week day it could be days before I noticed it! So once the controller comes I will install the doser as well. And then get a 200 watt in the sump also! Oh and no wonder this bloody Hirsuta monti gets everywhere water can't!! I found out that as it's platting so far out, that when the YCG perches on it, small bits crack off .... There are 3 small pieces on the sand at the moment...and bits all over the rock 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Where you been at? You've seen a stream of activity from me? wasn't me! I've been around a little. Tank is coming along, nothing very exciting at this point. Guess I could do an update. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Murph, I hope you didn't think I meant that your tank is not very exciting, I was referring to mine. 😉 2 Quote Link to comment
