Had the puddle tested today for nitrates and phos, zero, nada, zip, zilch!
I bought new test kits, phos in the twins is over .5, I had 1 after the last power outage, I need to replenish the phos media, could have done without the skimmer incident!

In theory March 25 is pay day for one of my big claims, I will get screwed for tax but should get a refund in the new tax year! 
I need to find a document for payment 2, all tax free!

I have put a lot of thought into this in the past year or so, aquaponics, I will be running a 5 x 3 shallow frag tank off a shared sump, big fuge in the sump, there is building work needed to open a wall up, maybe 2021?
That Leopard Wrasse! Blue Star? She's gorgeousDistracted by trying (failed) to add a male spotted mandarin to my small female in the puddle.
My little girl this morning!

Thanks, I take ok pics but I couldn't catch the blue due to her being close to the glass so not getting tank lights, she is a very pretty fish!

This is how close I m to a complete tank crash, all due to the cave goby, all the crud it disturbed had to go somewhere!
I am going to check my nitrates an phos tomorrow and do a deep clean this week, if there was a power cut and my sump leveled there would be another cycle, I need to get this done!

Whoa!
Look on the bright side; take a large frying pan and slowly heat it up, add 1/4 cup of pure, extra virgin olive oil, cut up 6 large cloves of garlic and add those to the olive oil. Then, using a set of tongs pull all of that green goodness, place in large salad spinner and spin it. Then dump green goodness into the frying pan with the olive oil and garlic. Voilá! Nice little snack to have with your evening beer!

One of the staff at my lfs is a marine biologist, very handy!
We had a chat about a week ago about how I clean the tank up.
He suggested ozone, I am a smoker, potential explosion, not gonna happen!
I use oxydators?!
I just re fueled my D model and popped it in by my skimmer intake, it will be interesting to see what happens!

Yes, that will be quite interesting to see what the results will be. You running 2 or 3 catalysts and at what percentage? (You've probably mentioned this before but dain bramage... no memory!)

I put the D by the skimmer, 9% and two catalysts, I loved his explanation all be it referencing ozone, it will be interesting to see if my skimate production changes!

I helped out at the lfs earlier for a couple of hours, my mate had 2 boxes of live stock dropped off by the manager who then shot off to do a job so I sorted the corals out and dripped the fish.
6 soft corals and as soon as I saw and felt this it was always coming home with me!
Felt, these are maricultured on rubble and basically peeled apart in chunks, 2 small pieces already removed and dropped in the puddle!
The amount od fauna on it is amazing so I didn't dip it!
People eaters are palys and not zoas, zoa nudies won't touch them.
The leopard wrasse and scopas have been all over them!
Still waking up, pic to follow.
