Clean Tank at last!

Mandarin fish blog entry #3

All the experimenting with different foods to get the mandarinfish to eat had elevated my nitrate and phosphate levels through the aquarium hood!  Finally did a complete water change and cleanout today.  Dr. Hannah Chang states that if the aquarium stays in such great pristine shape for a year, I can move it to the living room as a showpiece.  One day down, 364 more to go!


All fish and corals are doing well.  A special thanks to my beautiful wife for the (slightly less) beautiful new Xenia coral for my birthday!

Allie hunts for copepods!





Eleanor fans her tail.  Note the beautiful purple colors of the local boston harbor Corallina algae in the backdrop.




A big thank you to my wife for lending me her fantastic Canon camera (which I got for her.)
