TLC, Upgrade

- Today I had made an almost full bucket PWC.
When the water was out I pruned some of the GHA off the rock, walls etc.
Next I had emptied the skimmer cup that probably was overflowing by now...
Then I decided to upgrade the powerhead (more flow - less GHA I've heared).
First attempt failed due to Maxi Jet 1200 being too powerful and sucking all the water out of the chamber it was in. Second attempt almost failed when the pump started to suck in air with water, but knowing what might fix that I added more water and everything seems to be working just fine.
We'll see if there will be any improvements...

15 Watts DIY Fuge light was installed!

I made a fuge light and installed it behind the tank.

Maint after 2 weeks vacation

Right after I came back I found my tank in dispair, but all corals and fish were alive.
The water was covered by the filmy scum due to the overflow grid being blocked with hair algae.
Immediately I proceeded with pruining the hair algae with my fingers. This resulted in clearing of the scum in a matter of minutes from opening up the overflow grid.

Maint Day: New Intro

Today I added Kenya Tree of a medium size. Put it in a shell next to Pulsing Xenia. We'll see if they will co-exist.
Also prepared tank for my vacation:
1 - bucket PWC
Reduced light cycle by cutting actinic lighting by 2 hours in the morning.
Removed chaeto remains from the back-chamber - there was almost nothing left.
Left my mom instructions on feeding once a week and a bucket of water
