Today is the Beginning of Week 9 of pico Clam doing very well... regular dosing of bits of CA, MG and KH on top of the weekly WC of about 1.5L using matured tank water.

SRC Member desideria Posted March 23, 2011 Author SRC Member Share Posted March 23, 2011 FTS as of today.. Ketchup wants me to bring home the sunkist.. hhmmm... Having algae problem.. will be turning off the light from Friday afternoon and turn it back on MOnday. Also will replace the chemipure and rowaphos in the IOS on Monday during the next water change. Have also decreased my photoperiod from 8 hours down to 6. Hope that helps. Already changed 1L of water today after I scrubbed some of the rocks and clipped off some algae using my scissors. HAHA... couldn't tahhan anymore! Quote Cheers, Desi Sheldon (TBBT): A little misunderstanding? Galileo and the Pope had a little misunderstanding...

SRC Member desideria Posted April 5, 2011 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 5, 2011 Last update before I leave office for 2 weeks.. leaving the pico in the hands of my colleague to care for with an emergency fellow Reefer colleague to fall back on in times of need. LOL, already left behind a bottle of RO/DI water, food etc with instruction to just feed twice a day with a couple of pellets and top up water on Mon/Wed/Fri. Have removed the rock of sunkists and purple fission back to the main tank at home. FTS as of today Top Down Mini Maxi BTA Did a Major water change yesterday, plucked out as much algae as possible, cleaned the walls... will HAVE to buy some algae eating critters when I get back in 2 weeks time...have cut down the lighting to 5.5 hours a day.. so hopefully that helps a bit. Good luck little tank. Quote Cheers, Desi Sheldon (TBBT): A little misunderstanding? Galileo and the Pope had a little misunderstanding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member desideria Posted May 3, 2011 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 3, 2011 After almost a month away and coming back once every 2 weeks for a MAJOR 50% WC each time, my PIco has survived ... thanks to my team mate for doing top ups and feeding my one and only fish. Can't find my pom pom crab but other than that my snails and lone fish is alive! Top down shot can see the Rics on the sand. Quote Cheers, Desi Sheldon (TBBT): A little misunderstanding?
