![]() A few issues that have shown up recently. Its official, the tank is using crazy amounts of ca and mag. I have had to double my previous dosing regiment of ca and have started dosing mag. I am also having a major diatom bloom. I am thinking that the diatoms are entirely my fault as I have stepped up feeding in an attempt to keep everything happy. I have recently added clams to the tank and have been feeding pyto weekly and also started target feeding the corals reefroids again. I have been using Pohls "coral vitalizer" two to three times a week. This coupled with the need for a rowaphos change in the reactor, I am sure is the cause for the increase in diatoms. I will have to cut back on my portioning and frequency to see if this helps things.
Merry Christmas everyone!

![]() Ditto that. And coral growth ... what a terrible problem to have, my friend. Chin up, you'll get through it, things will improve.

![]() I am tying a "bi-color only" fly that I hope to hook the little bugger with, but I dont have any material that closely matches the color of the blasto. Only thing is I cant get decent "backcast" in, in my living room. Also he is a crafty little guy and I will need to remain hidden while I approach the tank.
On a slightly related note....someone should design a miniature spear gun. Not to get my angel with ![]()
