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.

Oh man I hate to hear that Steve. I would guess algae bloom if it was fish and not corals affected. I really hope you get it squared away. Have you been using it for a while? It doesn't have a foul smell?

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

"golf tournament" You mean a business meeting at the golf course?

I took water samples home from the clinics tank. Was a bit shocked. I knew the phosphate was high. Been working on that. But the alkalinity was only 3.7 I will have to address that. I have never used a doser. Not even sure where to start.

Are there corals in the tank? At 3.7 dkh, I think this was either test error, or your salinity is probably not going to be within in range either.

Xena is most likely the last unless for whatever reason I had take in a second. I’m in the same ballpark wise as I’m officially 63 on Friday.

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.
