First of all I want to wish all the readers all the best wishes for 2011. We started the new year with a big cleaning of the aquarium, which was necessary because we hadn’t done anything for a month or so.
Last year (last Thursday ;) ) we went to our regular aquarium shop in search of a solution for the Planaria and the Sea Pearls which we have a lot of lately. We ordered a couple of Mandarin Dragonets, they eat Planaria so we figured this would make a beautiful addition to the aquarium as well as a functional one. Unfortunately they didn’t have them in stock, so we have to wait. However, they did have a nice Tridacna Clam, so we ended up buying that.
The Fragcan had to go because of the clam, there was no more room for it. So the one Kenya Tree fragment still unattached was now put in a shell we have for the Hermit Crabs. At this point there are so many Kenya Tree fragments, I can’t tell them apart anymore.
But next Wednesday someone is coming to buy a couple from me, and also buy the Red Mushroom fragment still remaining and maybe even the Anemone which is becoming far to big. The toadstool is having a hard to staying alive it seems, his polyps are hardly visible anymore.
One of the mushrooms on mushroom rock 2 has released itself and moved somewhere else (not found yet). It was one of the green mushrooms that was overgrown by the red and striped mushrooms. Don’t know if I will see it again, but now there are three on the rock instead of the 5 we had. Also the red one that split of the big mushroom has disappeared.
During the big cleaning I cleaned the skimmer, filters, window and put in another new arsenic light. Now we have replace 2 out of 6 light tubes.
And this is how the aquarium looks now, beginning of 2011.
