Livestock: Powder Blue Tang (Powder Blue Tang (Acanthurus Leucosternon)
Well I decided that with success of keeping the Yellow Tang (Zebrasoma Flavescens) I though it would be time to add another specimen to my aquarium. So I choose the Powder Blue Tang (Acanthurus Leucosternon). This beuatiful specimen was added this afternoon after being acclimated over a period of 3 hours. It has been very shy and retreated into the rocks and I'm hoping to see more of him after he settles in.

Chemicals: Prodibio Supplements Dosage (Week007)
I have decided to keep everyone updated on the Prodibio Supplement Dosing regimine that I have been on for almost 2 months now. This weeks dosage contains 2 ampoules of Prodibio Reef Booster (Live Bacteria) and 2 ampoule of Prodibio Stroni+ (Strontium). I will include full aquarium shots as well as Macro Shots of specimen within my aquarium (Coral, Inverts and Fish) to show the progress with the product. However, the full aquarium shot will be left out since I haven't picked up the correct lens.

Equipment: Red Sea C-Skim 1200 Deluxe Protein Skimmer (Performance Over the Long Haul)
I initally purchased the Red Sea C-Skim 1200 Deluxe Protein Skimmer as a temporary device until I could put enough money aside for a Bubble King Mini 180 with Automatic Neck Washing System. However, based on the performance over the past 4 months it has proven to be a pretty efficient Protein Skimmer. It produces 2.5 gallons of dark skimmate with an extremely bad odor every week.

Chemicals: Prodibio Bioptim Supplement (Replenishment)
The Prodibio Bioptim supplement requires that I use 3 ampoules every 2 weeks for the dosing regimen. Prodibio Bioptim supplement provides bacteria with all the missing micro nutrients, trace elements, selected amino acids, natural vitamins (Riboflavin) and surface agents from plants to facilitate obsorption of the components by the cells. Prodibio Bioptim dynamises these bacteria and enables a reduction in Nitrates, Phosphates, and Carohydrates, a decrease in silt, muim and filamentous algae, and an improvement to the quality of the water. Prodibio Bioptim maintains a raised Redox Potential and reducs infections and mycosis. This 30 vial supply of Prodibio Boiptim will last for a duration of 5 months in my 120 gallon aquarium with 15 gallon sump making my yearly cost for this supplement alone on average of $140.00.

Chemicals: Bulk Reef Supply 2 Part Magnesium Supplement (Magnesium Chloride & Magnesium Sulfate).
My current Magnesium supplement has run out which means that I have the ability to try something new. So after running polls on various forums and spaking with regarded aquarist I have decided to turn to Bulkf Reef Supply for my Magnesium supplement needs. Based on information that I have gathered I will now be dosing a 2 Part Magnesium (Magnesium Chloride & Magnesium Sulfate) supplement to my aquarium.
I received my first shipment and decided that I would create my first 2 Part Magnesium (Magnesium Chloride & Magnesium Sulfate) supplement mixture which consist of (5 Cups of Magnesium Chloride + 3 Cups of Magnesium Sulfate + 1 Gallon of RO/DI Water) which created approximately 1.25 gallons of 2 Part Magnesium (Magnesium Chloride & Magnesium Sulfate). The mixture is currently being dripped into my aquarium so I will report the results as soon as I can.

Livestock: Yellow Tang (Zebrasoma Flavescens) & Powder Blue Tang (Acanthurus Leucosternon) Acclimation (Update on the Buddies)
It has been 5 days since the arrival, acclimation and introduction of my Powder Blue Tang (Anacthurus Leucosternon) into myy 120 gallon reef aquarium and he has started to shed some of his shy nature. He is coming out of the aquascaping more and starting to eat off of the Ocean Nutrition Algae Clip. But this has started a bit of a territory dispute with my Yellow Tang (Zebrasoma Flavascens). They appear to chase each other whenever they attempt to feed from the Seaweed Salad Green Algae Sheets that are attached to the Ocean Nutrition Algae Clip simultaneously. This has caused my Powder Blue Tang (Acanthurus Leucosternon) to stress a little and display some blotchy areas on his body. I will be picking up a second Ocean Nutrition Algae Clip in order to reduce this territory dispute. Unforutunately they are on they best behavior during the video.

Well many of you are requesting photograph showing a full aquarium shot to see the results of dosing with Prodibio Supplements. So I stole my wife's new Canon SD990 IS 14.7 megapixel camera and took one for you. I hope you enjoy.

Livestock: Powder Blue Tang (Acanthurus Leucosternon)
It's been a little over 1 week since I received this beautiful specimen and he has been adapting well to life in captivity. He is eating well and putting on healthy weight. Their was a period were he displayed some blotchy coloration on 3 areas on his body in the first few days in the aquarium which I belive are cause from stress of a new environment as well as some territorial disputes with my Yellow Tang (Zebrasoma Flavascens) over the single Ocean Nutrition Feeding Clip holding the Ocean Nutrition Green Marine Algae Sheets. However, the blotchy coloration has dissapeard and he seems to being doing fine dispite the disputes every now and then. I have placed on order which I hope to have arrive shortly for more Ocean Nutrition Feeding Clips and a variety of Ocean Nutrition Red Marine Algae Sheets, Ocean Nutrition Brown Marine Algae Sheets and Ocean Nutrition Green Marine Algae Sheets to provide them a varied diet. But overall he is doing great.

Hello everyone, I wanted to apologize for not posting in the last few days. I was a bit busy assisting my wife and organizing my 27th birthday party. She wanted to make this birthday extra special so she told me that she was going to bake me a special cake and that is exactly what she did! I just thought I would share.

Wow. Ive never seen any one with all that equipment that must of cost you a fortune. I think you might be trying to perfect every little thing. You dont even have a high population of coral and you are adding to many nutrients. I think that is whats causing your algea problems. With all that equpiment I would expect to see the best tank ever. I guess its not what you buy. Looks like you just have a spending problem.
