    Day 3

    Today;s FTS:


    Mushrooms and GSP did not look good today added back carbon to see if this will help. Blenny started eating right from the target feeding tube today which is great news.

    Projects for the day:
    • Added back 1 cup of BRS Rox Carbon in a bag.
    • Dosed Iron and Manganese for Macro Algae.

    Day 2

    Projects for the day:
    • Added RO/DI water to lower the salinity after yesterdays WC.
    • Dosed Iron & Manganese for Macro Algae.
    • Removed Byprosis from a rock and a power head (this stuff is bad news so I hope that I caught it early enough).

    Day 1

    For the first 2 days, I don't have photos of the tank so those will start on day 3.

    Projects for the day:
    • Slightly altered the aquascaping moving Green Star Polyps to the sand bed and adjusting the Candy Apple Yuma.
    • Removed the Carbon bag from the overflow box.
    • Performed a ten gallon water change (realized later that I forgot to dilute the scripps water, so salt content likely rose slightly).
    • Dosed Kent Iron & Manganese for Macro Algae.

    Why are we here?

    This blog has been created to document the progress of a home aquarium known now as Corbin's Lagoon. Each day a full tank photo will be posted along with any information about what was done with or in the aquarium. Sure some of it may be boring, but it is here to serve the purpose of documenting this project. Enjoy!
