Thank you. The growth is starting to take off. I'm dosing a total of 21ml of AFR, in 8 doses spread out over 24 hours.

I didn't even want her in the first place. My wife whined and I gave in. 8 years later I still have her (wife and the fish). She's killed more fish than I can count. I'm tired of maintaining her tank to be honest. I won't stop. I take great care of her. I just wish it could be in the other tank.

There hav been some ups and downs. I broke my #1 rule and used a chemical. Flatworm exit, I lost a couple pieces and slowed down growth on a bunch more. I feel like I could be much further along had I not made that one miss judgement. But I'm back to organic as possible.

Dosing total 23ml of AFR in 12 doses spread through the day. Weekly AFR dose adjustments. Deficits in alk, cal, and mag are dosed with 2 part and Magnes-ion. I've also had to start dosing KNO3.

Clown has been in and swimming for few days now, so far her and the goby stay out of each other's way.

My nem went into the overflow yesterday, but I don't see any damage. His foot is still attaching. Although he did move way down under the green monti cap on the right after I freed his bubble tips from the weir. So far he seems ok though.

Unless something happens, next update on the corals 1 year anniversary.
