@kingranch2003 John, I’m trying to get 5 boxes of the Ocean Water you’ve been using DoorDashed to me today .
I also ordered a 37 gallon tub of Aquaforest Hybrid Reef salt from BulkReefSupply. I was looking at the Red Sea and it’s DH when mixed is around 12. I’m wondering if that has been bothering some of the corals.

Good morning everyone! Today is my Friday at work! Taking tomorrow off and going hunting!!!! So excited!!! I went to my cardiologist yesterday because I've been having some issues. They put a heart monitor on me to wear until next Wednesday and she sent in orders to the hospital for me to get a stress test. I hope everyone has an amazing day.

wearing a monitor while hunting? its probably going to spike when you see a deer.

Beautiful John. I think I may have caused a setback by accidentally using phyto that may have gone bad. My chalice had retracted and the skin was gone from the skeleton by the end of the day. Worst is I don’t really know if it was that due to not smelling rancid. Other corals were not looking their current best and nem had pulled back a bit. I’m buying 4 containers of the ocean water at PetCo. See if I can right the ship. Something definitely going on as water was cloudy looking.

Cloudy water often means nitrogen boost and exploded bacteria population which decreases DO so even if it wasn't the Phyto, the water change should help.

Today is also my Friday but I got assigned to a golf tournament so maybe yesterday counted as my Friday?
