Rattz 30g Softie build.

Today the tank has been set up for 4 months. I'm very happy with the progress so far. All the zoo's I picked up from WWC are doing well and open up every day. I have started placing them around the tank to find their final locations. My order of Reef Goodies came from Marine Depot today and I'm super excited.

I installed the new wet side for the MP10 after a vinegar bath for an hour and a good rinse. I'll tell you swapping out the dirt on for a clean one and placing the crusty one in the bath is quite satisfying.. I'm glad I pulled the trigger on that order.
Got more Copper tests for the Hanna and some poly-filter to pull it out after the 30 day mark.

I also got my Coral View lense kit from PolypLab. Talk about an awesome little gadget. The 2 different Spectrum lenses as well as the 10x macro was far superior than any of the other phone lenses out there.. My pictures look so much nicer now.. WOW!

The XP Aqua ATO came today also. I'll likely install that on Sunday.. I just filled the reactor with GAC/GFO for a few days to give the water a polish.. I've been noticing the few tiny tufts of HA starting to grow out and decided it could use the extra PO4 reduction for a week. I'm anxious to see how the surface skimming on this thing works.. The oily film on the water surface is quite ugly at times. Ill update how it functions the pumps for this thing are super tiny smaller than a matchbox car. Its spose to pump to 8'. I don't need to go nearly that high though.
