Did you get the flow adjusted? Things looking better or still unsure?

My Sungod has about an 1/8" patch of flesh still... Not sure it's going to make it but it's held on for about a month now.

Also, BTW, my Filefish has "sampled" the Duncan, Acroberry, RR Pink Cadillac, a couple of Milles, and some Leptos but never left a mark. I've never seen it near the Sungod.

I'm hoping I have it a little better. The scooby Doo, green goblin and tiger are still all OK. The dragonstone was starting to bleach a little at the bottom tips? Or was stn not sure, but those tips seem to be coloring back up.

Alk has been stable 8.5-9 and No3 are 12-18 Po4 around 0.06-1.0 so not sure. Has to be my flow causing issues I'd think. Hopefully we'll see some improvement over the next week or so.

Our Harry Potter was doing well also, but had disappeared. Not attached to the urchin, just gone lol ugh

My urchin grabs and hides frags. Usually it's the Sungod ever since it started to STN.

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I made and update! Here's our water parameters today! Can't wait to get our new order in from @SBB Corals next week (fingers crossed lol)

Everything is still doing great. Seem to have our doser set for the right amounts as well, and things are staying stable. Hopefully a WC tonight and then I'll upload a new video :)

Today -- 5 days ago

ALK: 9.6 -- 9.9
Cal: 430 -- 420
MG: 1500 -- 1500
No3: 7.6 -- 16.5
Po4: 0.08 -- 0.09
Sal: 1.025 -- 1.025

Still wanting to drop Alk a little, would like it to be around 9 or 8.5 so may drop a few MLs of the schedule there. I'll test again later in the week and the day before our shipment arrives!

Here's some quick pictures of some of our shrooms also from yesterday! Plus, the teaser of what's coming in next week!

Updated video tonight, cleaned out a lot of the Bryopsis and turf/gha that was in the tank. Also, some of the aipstsia. Getting prepared for corals next week! Will do water parameters in the morning and see where we are again :)

FTS this morning. Just got back from taking the water sample to be tested.

Parameters this morning:

Alk: 9.6
Cal: 430
Mag: 1470
No3: 3.7
Po4: 0.13
Sal: 1.025

Took sample before feeding today also. Usually take it after I have fed the first time. I figure that's why No3 is a little lower this morning.

Got all our coral in from @SBB Corals and our Snacklebox, Phyto, and Berghia in from @Dinkins Aquatic Gardens . Couldn't be happier! Shipping from both vendors arrived packaged extremely well. The Berghia arrived alive, and I think laid eggs as soon as they got in the tank lol. Idk though, let me know what you think from the video!

I also want to say both vendors go above and beyond if there's ever any issue with your orders. Shane let me know one of the frags didn't make it to shipping day, and they put a replacement in. The replacement blew my mind. Had a slight miscommunication with Dinkins, and they went above and beyond to rectify it. I will definitely be returning to get more phyto and pods. Anyway, here's a couple of videos!

Some quick pictures and a video of the torches today.

Our parameters yesterday as well. We also sent off our ICP test and should have the results back in a week or two. Pictures are from lights out last night. We also did our first coral snow dose last night; we'll see if we notice anything. Have 9 more Berghia on the way from @Dinkins Aquatic Gardens hopefully be here Tuesday :). Hopefully that's enough to get a small population going. Everything in the tank seems happy. I'll update with another FTS or video this evening also. I have another video of the hammers/frogspawn uploading as well.

Turned our alk down since it had gone up .6 in two days since we added the new corals. Thought they would consume more, but they didn't, so turned it back down. We'll see what everything is at tomorrow also.

Video of our frogs, hammers, frammer and goni. Our big pumpkin patch mushroom decided it didn't want to be so big anymore, and split in half. Now we have two lol
