Added live copepods (from Zoo Kalle in Weil am Rhein), cleaned by removing water from bag, added them to hang on with all the siporax in the hope that they will establish there and keep feeding the main tank. Some were added to main tank.
installed the hand on back filter to host the siporax filter medium. Will remove any filter material in inside filter and eventually will try to remove inside filter!

Realised that ALK dosing was not working anymore. Exchanged clogged connectors at the pump and it is running again. Also exchanged tubing with black tubing (not as good as I cannot see bubbles).
In order to prevent bubbles, I added some extra holes in the flasks so that there should be no problem with pressure.

moved corals (acanthastrea and new zoa) up one level. Platform for Zoa broke off, so not at final place yet. Acan below column, slightly shadowed. Epoxied to the riff.

saw both assessors, they seem to be breeding quickly if the smaller keeps disappearing all the time.
One of the cleaner shrimps has shed its skin. Sign for good health I guess.

The pistol shrimp was not seen in months. However, I discovered a few patches which were dug up. So he seems to be still active.

In the inside filter, I have first the rough particle filter, then the carbon (changed every 4 weeks) and then the phosphate absorber (changed every 6 months)

all three new corals have opened and seem to be comfortable where they are. The new Zoa should be moved up, the Acantha might be moved further up but should not have too much light. So not sure where I can place it for the moment.
