Well the May bank holiday was bit of a mixed one really, the weather was pretty poor as the sun never really got out, which stopped us from going anywhere nice.
I saw the first trailer for Robin Hood which looks really good, it’s got Ridley Scott writing it and Russell Crowe as Robin Hood. I think it will be one of those films that’s best seen at the cinema for the full effect. I think we’ll have to get a boys outing to go and watch it.
It was water change time again for the fish tank. I’ve bought some Fuval Clearmax aswell because I’m getting a lot of hair algae, it started a few months back with hair algae growing on one rock but its slowly been spreading and even a crab has been unlucky enough to get some growth. There’s a few things that can usually cause an algae bloom.
1. Old light bulbs, sounds silly but the light colour can change with age which in time will aide algae blooms, this is why it’s recommended to change your bulbs every 6 months.
2. In a roundabout way over feeding can cause nitrates to rise which will feed the algae.
These are probably 2 of the most common issues, so I’m hoping that Clearmax will solve my problem.
The other half bought me a t shirt from an online store that offers t shirt printing; she got it made up especially for me. It says “Marine Perfectionist” not sure how often I’ll ware it but I will.
