Good night folks. Very busy day tomorrow. Lots of errands to run, then I have to catch a flight. Talk to you all tomorrow. As Jennifer would say, stay salty.

Good morning everyone! Have a safe trip Walker. This is one of my favorite pics since removing some corals, adding some corals and changing my rock scape.

good morning family, I didn't want to post a photo today either but I don't think Jen would be very happy, she will never be forgotten but she wouldn't want us to be like this either, despite everything we thought we knew about her condition and it was more than we thought, she was always happy and I think that's how she wanted us to remember her, I am one of the last to arrive in this family and I feel terrible, I can imagine how you feel, I could be wrong but thinking like this helped me in the situation I had a few months ago and coming here with all of you helped me a lot.

Those look good, I’m stumped. Inspect closely, perhaps dip and see if a pest got in your tank.

I’ll give them a dip today.

I want to order some corals next week. I’m going to order some hard corals. What place do you recommend ordering from that has good prices?
 
MERKEY said:
WELCOME BACK!!

I agree with this on the numbers. Possibly pest...check for sure sure!

Numbers look good "unless" they were different b4 you left.

P04 at .07 is good but was it higher b4 you left?

With the algea gone that might mean nutrients dropped and no more to sustain the algea.

Which would also upset the torches.

or in an odd twist of fate too long of a lighting period with not enough nutrients can also cause the same dying affect.

Do you have numbers right b4 you left?

The number before I left were about the same. Maybe a little lower but not by much.

It has been a while since I ordered corals but have always been happy with Tidal Gardens and Corals.com. The way TSA treated Jennifer I would like to give them my business in the future.

I just made a post asking this question. Everybody recommended TSA and title gardens. I asked about coral.com and people had mixed reviews on them. I want to try an order from them because they do have a lot of corals.

Looks good.
I have never ordered anything alive online but I'm sure someone will chime in.
 
Hello folks.

Finishing up a few things with my tank, then I have to finish all my packing. Leaving early for the airport because most airports are still struggling from that computer outage. How's everyone?
