UPDATE
Well its been some time now since i added anything to my blog its been a busy time these past few weeks with a few headaches regarding my aquarium after 20 years of experience i still make the same mistakes.Partly due to human error and its cost me dear Ive spent around £400 putting things wright Ive lost my mandarin blenny and also a new fish i introduced algae blenny the same day ,all because i changed my protein skimmer and removed some filters i don't do my water tests on a regular basis so therefore i was amazed to find that my nitrate was high this is due to the chemical biology proses ie fish waste produces nitrite and Armonia which then converts to nitrate which is the end product nitrite and Armonia are a killer and nitrate can make the fish uncomfortable that's the end produce of the biological process the next step is to remove the nitrate this is done by water changes or the use of chemicals the next thing i did was to put in new lighting this is halogen its expensive to run but is worth it in the end as its the closest thing to nature.Won't add anymore corals as i have no more room in the tank so i will concentrate on fish to get a balanced reef.Anyway signing off now so till next time aufweidersen.

TODAY
Hi
hope you like the pics I'm still working on my tank its never finished and with little money will take some time to do so. I do a 50 per cent water change every two weeks add calcium every day and iodine strontium weekly one of my biggest problems is algae that's because i don't have a reverse osmosis water purifier my aim is to get pink coralline algae this stuff is the good algae it takes a combination of time lighting and calcium.I'm hoping soon to put a bubble anemone in then bye a new lighting system
I'm also adding some mangrove seeds these will form a plant and help to take the nitrate out of the water.and a watchman goby peppermint shrimps crabs snapping shrimp
Well ive had a quiete relaxing day today spent most of it in bed looking forward to going to newcastle tomorrow to the drop in this has been a reallifeline to me gives me chance to escape to a bit of normanaty in life till then bye.

MY HOBBY
Well here i am again to tell you a bit about my hobby Ive been a marine Aquarist for the past 20 years my recent tank below is about 7 months old this is my 4Th tank i find it challenging at times also expensive although i get a lot of help and knowledge from kidsgrove aquatics over the years who have always been there to guide me along withe there experience.Ive got to know them well like Friends to me its a shop id recommend to anyone i also find it stressful sometimes and challenging. But at the end product very therapeutic and relaxing to watch mind boggling at times when things go wrong but with the help of the Internet and kidsgrove tropicals on hand i get by. Now for my aquarium
