So the last hour or so has been pretty crazy. This morning when I came in my alveopora was a skeleton with a couple bits of flesh. Yesterday, it looked unhappy but not completely withdrawn (this was at 4pm) . The whole tank has been having stuff going on here and there. Made executive decision and did something I hadn’t done in a long time. I didn’t have enough rodi so I used tap water and prime. And then exchanged out close to 17 gallons . Corals were understandably not thrilled but it needed to be done. Managed to keep salt at 2.025 and pH is now 8.34(that was big jump from 7.92). Rest of chemistry is gonna have to wait as I’d like to get back into bed and maybe get a little more sleep soon. This is the before after of the Alve

This how I’ve always imagined Tim . Find a new meme for John. There’s plenty of colors to choose from. I think an iridescent purple might be nice
 
The corals are definitely interesting in the amount of recovery time after that. My large hammer shrunk some but is almost as expanded as before, whereas the frogspawn is still a pretty tight ball of POed. Glitter Gonis are fairly extends again. My Leptoseris and Psammacora didn’t care. And favia/favites were pretty nonchalant as well.
 
I was getting everything ready for mashed potatoes and realized I out of milk 😡 ! Since I was home alone ( Hmmmm, that reminds me of something 🤔) no mashed potatoes for me.. since I needed another side and I had more pork chops than I needed I grilled some barbecue chops as a side.
