- Being unknown and unwanted
In these 6 months I have had proof that I have some great great rocks, the usual and common Scifozoi explosion, amphipods and copepods, algae and upper limestone of various genera and species.
Few asterine, snails stomatella are normal inhabitants found and reproduced, but the sensational discovery of a snail in a long time Dolabrifera dolabrifera in adult size (12-14 cm) than ever before, often having recently, I attach the photos.
Unfortunately I probably added some coral red in planarians (Convolutriloba retrogemma) I'm going to fight with natural predators.
- New entries
To avoid the explosion of uncontested planarians and to increase a little 'I entered the organic loading of 3 and soon I'll put more fish for the time I entered a Pseudocheilinus hexateania, 1 Synchiropus splendidus e 1 Synchiropus picturatus.
- Problema schiumatoio
Non l'ho mai accennato in tutto il blog , però ho sempre avuto uno strano comportamento dello schiumatoio H&S , semplicemente non ha praticamente mai prodotto schiuma , praticamente negli ultimi 3 mesi produceva 1/2 cm di schiumato a settimana , non normalissimo anche comunque in presenza di valori di inquinanti prossimi a zero.
Assieme all'amico Gilbero Hassan abbiamo verificato che il problema non fosse di qualche difetto dello schiumatoio , ma stimolandolo con prodotti appositi lo schiumatoio ha fatto il suo dovere, quindi il problema è relativo all'acqua trattata.
To test alternative I tried a skimmer that would work in different ways, that is an ELOS NS500 skimmer, mounted yesterday, of course, the considerations will draw at least a week or two of work.
I enclose photos of the beautiful box, the multilingual manual, manufacturing as materials and finishes is in no way comparable (for the better of course) to the skimmer German.
- Animal Health
In these first months I had no particular problems with the corals, except with some Montipora, especially the red M.foliosa who died two weeks fa.Il problem Montipora with such differences in practice on the water very lean and low in nutrients and the use of some Montipora Zeospur 2 often (strangely only a few) reacted with a total absence of polyps and the general suffering of the tissues.
I analyzed it with Nando Masciadri, which prompted me to further increase the dose of food dare.In effects after 2 days of double doses of food to the animals responded beautifully, returning in full splendor, this course confirmed that the water is extremely poor.
I had the fear that the problem was caused by predators aeolidi Montipora nudibranchs, but I've just seen deleted (only 2 deleted bathrooms with betadine) and that for months, in fact I have not noticed even in special stalking.
- Review, compare and present values \u200b\u200bSalifert - Elos
Danilo Ronchi My friend convinced me to try and compare the test compared with the Elos Salifert normally use.
In fact, the Elos have shown some advantages: better packaging (but pretty useless as a thing), instructions in Italian, calibrated drops, the less chance of error (especially in test Ca, Mg and Kh, where the amount of liquid the reaction is quite variable) and especially for people like me have children, the components of these tests Italian are entered into the database of the Ministry of Health and in case of accidental ingestion can have immediate care and effective.
Here are the results of the tests today:
Elos Feature Value - Value
Salifert Nitrate: 0.0 to 0.2
Phosphates: 0.0 to 0.0
KH: 8 to 9.6
Ca: 400-390
Mg: 1100 to 1100
