Nice save, looking good.

Things I have done badly so far today, snagged the door trigger line with the mesh cover, lifted the door just enough to allow it to swim back out! ;Facepalm

I just moved the fish trap and the little creature trap was removed.
I found one of the cave gobies dead under it, I know I was trying to catch them but I feel awful!

Oh man

najer · Jan 4, 2020

This would be one of the bits the venustus likes to graze, now bait!

najer · Jan 4, 2020

You have no idea how close I was to pulling the trigger, jewel blenny's tail suspect one in the death of the goby.

I have the scape partially apart and 2 more leathers sulking, not loving the tank at the moment.

najer · Jan 4, 2020

Oh and the goby smelt bad when I removed it, ammonia, just what I need at the moment.

Sorry for your troubles, Simon.

Sounds like it may soon be time to have a snort. If you haven't already...

Yikes. Ur braver than me.

Katrina71 · Jan 4, 2020

It was an accident. You know you'd say the same to any of us. Please don't be hard on yourself.

najer · Jan 5, 2020

Thanks all, time for a shake up and a re-scape.
Once the venustus is out it is time to choose a direction.
I am taking the little acro frag back to the shop today, no pe, colour or generally happiness, it will just get lost in the little tank.
Picking up more carbon again today and another media bag, back up to two bags again and I will be starting small water changes again, skimmer is plugging away.
I refilled both oxydators again yesterday, hopefully this will kick in today, there is always an orp dip when you refill them and then it goes back up so things should start looking up again.
