Just guessing...apparently Guillard's is the original...maybe neglected to take out a patent...or was just a really generous person who wanted phyto to flourish....and then be eaten by pods and corals

Are you losing it? What is it, a torch?

I’m saving it :)
it’s a torch that came in stressed from shipping delays. I’ve had it 2 days and have good color now, no signs of bjd or injury, and it’s starting to come out

The water change went well. My parameters were good, but I'll be running a bit of phosbond to get p04 down some. My alk is usually around 9-9.2 and calcium is around 440. These numbers were down between water changes this time. @kevgib67 I think this shows you to be correct that I may have to start dosing soon.
Alk 8
Calc 406
P04 .4
N03 11
Mag 1400 This is up from its usual # I've been dosing mag

I like those numbers John. I would feel better if calcium was closer to 450 but you’re fine as long as you are above 400. When the time comes, which it will, this what I use to bump the calcium up. Myself, I wouldn’t feel comfortable with phosphate, I know you’re working on it at .4 but that’s just me. I think Tim and Joel run theirs about there or higher. Oh, and your tank is looking absolutely beautiful!

I am going to try and be more active on the thread. I miss talking to everyone!

With the baby doing well, I was ready to focus more on building my personal 65G reef that was started officially over a year ago.
