Ah the building part is easy and kinda fun, the "liking the end result" part seems to be a little more elusive. It's no "Lobsterboy" Zen I'll tell you that!!

For start3, all i have read is that, it is more user friendly and that there is less chances of diatoms blooms when using this, when compared to start 2.
so less chances of over dose.

Neat, we'll have to watch for that. If you notice some in please post about it.

Hello everyone and Happy New Year to all

After a very busy season, I enjoyed sometime off, going back to Cape Breton for a few days for the christmas break.

I had a co-worker look after my tank while away, the ease of living relativity close to the aquarium during the holidays out weighed the inexperience with aquariums he had.

When coming home, I expected to fine things in not the best shape, and I wasnt far from wrong.

A purging skimmer, that must have spilt at least 3 cups of skim mate back into the tank, micro bubbles every which way, LPS and SPS bleached colonies, and brutal red algae.

I took some pictures to show before and after, things are getting back to normal, but still not ideal.



















now the after

a new addition

Sadly 4 of the 7 died, the 3 that remain have their days, but out of ten I would give them a 8 on good behaviour.
