Hi all and thanks for all you new followers that came along even in my long absence from blogging. A big fat sorry of shame for not updating for such a long time! Without any more excuses for my laziness in writing here we go. I will make this very short.
Not much is happening over the last three months except that the tank is looking fairly clean, apart from the cyano on the sand. Most Seaweeds and the red hair algea have been dying down with the shorter days as expected. Now since days are getting longer again a lot of small reds are shooting…
About time for an update…The pictures and events from below range from May to now, it was a busy summer đ Summer was good and most of my free time was spent KayakFishing/KayakSailing with my new toy.

Happy New Year Readers! Some updates on the Seaweeds… Since the addition of the chiller the nuisance green cyanoabcteria is nearly gone and red microalgea are going back drastically.

Some updates in relation to the Fauna in the aquariums… 200ltr Maintank The Prawns as many other others have been very busy with procreation through the summer.
