One more question mate, since your not surface skimming what do you do about the scum/oils accumulation
On the surface?

Good question, I don't have anything in place to remove surface films. Only occasionally do I see a film but this tends to clear after a few days, could be tied to water changes. I was thinking of using a Tunze 9001 skimmer as they surface skim but as its not been an issue i've not bothered. I'm enjoying the simplicity of this tank.

Bit of an update here:

Tank has a been a bit neglected last few weeks and I have missed a couple of water changes.

Unfortunately, the new yellow tail damsel also passed away from aggression from other damsel - these guys can be quite aggressive!

To more positive news, I am really excited to see Aquaforest products here in AU http://aquaforest.eu/en/. I've heard really good reviews about their range. I am now switching salt from RedSea Coral Pro to AF Reef Salt. My impressions so far on the salt are great, it mixes clear in 15mins as stated and coral polyp extension is noticeably greater for days after water change.

I will also start to test Alk consumption and if a drop is detected between water changes I will dose the AF balling: Calcium, Magenesium, KH Buffer, and Reef Mineral Salt. After four weeks I'll report any change and introduce Component Strong. I want to start slowly to determine what is causing change.

More to follow shortly

Any updates on the Aquaforest?

[chrismelb]

No new update, sorry. As you know this tank lived on my work desk. I've since changed jobs and as a newbie, didn't feel confident setting up a tank on my desk. I've now been at this new place a year, and it is simply too busy to even look at a tank at work. The tank in this journal was packed up. But I am in the process of starting another at home, as I love the nano tanks .

Stay tuned for the new journal .
