#honestyinreefing And life begins. Thinking Dino and if not it will be. I’ll test no3 and po4 and then dose po4/no3 to get some nutrients in a balance and it should disappear quick

...the relays are wired NC. A couple hours later I was thinking about it and realized the relays are 5v and I had 12v going to them! #honestyinreefing Also at some point while the power was on I was moving wires around for some reason and the DC ground hit the AC rail that goes to my relays...

...failed. Not sure I could have saved anything in the tank, but it was the end. I think every bit of SPS I have is now complete gone. #honestyinreefing That said, it is time to restart the tank. Unbelievably, I haven't lost a single fish the entire time I've neglected the tank. Maybe even more...

Unflattering lights off fts... #honestyinreefing

#honestyinreefing I chose other again today. The fish in my office tank are all healthy! BUT my Living Room DT: I recently added 6 chromis from LA DD and they had Ich and are slowly wiping my tank, I have 3 fish left. Will be going fallow and will only purchase fully QT'd fish from Dr Reef, TSM...

#honestyinreefing I recently bought 6 blue caribbean reef chromis from Live Aquaria Diver's Den. My fault for not checking and just letting my daughter acclimate and add to the tank. They came in with Ich, I've lost 7 fish in 7 days now. I only have Blue Hippo Tang, Cleaner Wrasse and 1 chromis...

...and @NY_Caveman who have considerably more patience than I and act on their ranks only when truly needed I'm slowly come around. R2R is a great resource and I appreciate folks sharing good bad and ugly it's helped my tho it took more to get thru my thick skull lol #honestyinreefing #r2r4life

Is it to late to blame it being early. I’m slow #honestyinreefing Would rather have her stay a little her.

#honestyinreefing Well... had another small alk spike. Not sure exactly what caused it. The only thing that seems to have been impacted is my large birdsnest colony. It is shedding flesh. I'm not sure if it is dying because of the alk spike (from 9.5 to 11.2 over 5 days, so not massive) or if...

Now how about an #honestyinreefing update Isn't it lovely? It smelled so bad when I cleaned it that my dog didn't want to be outside with me. Yup.. that bad. I normally don't let it go nearly so long without cleaning it. The sludge was thick!!! Of course, that isn't the main issue from the...

#honestyinreefing Yesterday after work I checked on the aquarium and my alk was almost 1dkh high. Sure enough, one of my gyres had tripped off line and needed cleaning. Got that taken care of and alk is slowly working it's way down. Still blows my mind just how critical flow is to coral growth...

That may be a perfect project to come home and do after reeis gone. Always welcome to come here and get salty knees. Your wealth of knowledge is good but friendship is priceless. Mostly for pictures if we are having #honestyinreefing

#honestyinreefing I still havent covered my reef, or fixed the center brace. Thats over 60 weeks in a row now... maybe more. /facepalm

...is now growing again. I will get a pic up today (i think haha) to show what it looks like now. This is what it used to look like #honestyinreefing All the corals look better and are actually growing again. The little nepethea that could is covered in polyps. I am not sure what it was but...

...fast little filter grew! From thumbnail size I had expected him to be dwarfed but doesn’t look that small next to newer arrivals. #honestyinreefing 2 days ago I was pulling some gha backside right hand rock and it moved slightly and arch dropped 1/2 inch. Caught me by surprise that it moved...

Quick video of some pellets being dropped in the tank. Yes, I have no shame for my cyano. #honestyinreefing I am confident I could clean it up in a week but I’m curious what it does with limited reaction from me.

#honestyinreefing This is what a tank looks like when you have cyno but aren't motivated to get it cleaned up.

#honestyinreefing Me too. Been dealing with dino for a month or two now. Literally haven't done anything to the tank in months besides top off. Had top off stay on after power outage one day and dump 3 gallons extra into the tank and ran all over my apex and other equipment and onto the floor...

#honestyinreefing for the 2nd time in my 26 month reefing history had a fish get stuck freak out and die unable to recover from the stress. The swallow tail got stuck in back between Monstah leathers rock I wedged to scape :( Stinks beauty of a fish was swimming entire tank ate looking good...

#honestyinreefing coming from the captain himself. Sorry to hear the reef has had some setbacks. Hoping for smooth rides ahead sir.

#honestyinreefing Yesterday out for the day with wife apex alarm for temp came on. I forgot to turn ac on downstairs Called my son he flipped it on and I had him install ac in hospital tank room upstairs. When I got home all was well downstairs and up. In my stupidity I didn’t check upstairs...
