New year, new photos!
So the sodium hydroxide does an excellent job of killing majanos and aiptasia but they're still popping up all over the place. I killed another 20 or so yesterday and still see more. Some are very tiny and easy to miss, others are in completely unaccessible areas. For some reason aiptasia seem to really like growing on my clams, which makes them fairly easy to remove.
Other than that not much new, stuff is growing. I replaced the MH bulbs the other day with Ushio 10K (same as before). Its amazing the color temperature difference. These ones are so nice and white, I didn't realize how yellowy the old ones were and they were only at 10 months.
The fish are all doing well, surprising as I've neglected the tank fairly badly and sometimes they only get fed every other day. They're all pretty fat though so its not like they can't skip a feeding but I feel guilty and my new years resolution is to not forget about them so often.
