Waterbox 20

Day 9- Algae!
Happy to have algae in tank. Finally got some algae in tank, added one trochus snail, 4 stomella snails, and one astrea snail

Will add more trochus snails (my fav snail) but they so pricey

Day 27 waterbox running, csb is in the tank. If things turn south I still have the rsr250 to turn to if it’s not doing too hot. Just finished 10 day cipro on csb. I suspect bacteria infection better safe than sorry. Hopefully it will recover color in waterbox. It looks fuller and inflates normally. Has a quick response and eats mysis.

Csb will be in basket for couple of days, to monitor the csb if it accept the water condition of the waterbox or not. Easy removal and examination. So far 1 day in waterbox. Everything seems normal.
