Project today was organizing my coat closet next to the tank that has been taken over for tank junk. Installed the new shelf to get myself some more room.

BRS had a flash sale on these controller boards a few weeks ago so I pulled the trigger. Happy to have everything out from under the sump.

Had a fun scare this week:

I refilled my liquid soda ash container last Sunday for my dosing. After noticing my consumption had gone up I went to adjust a few of my periodic dosings to increase them by a minute.

Tuesday I went to change my filter socks and noticed my gallon jug was half empty. One of my increases was a mistype on my apex programming and increased it by nearly 4 hours. When I caught the mistake on day 3 my dKh was at 18.6, up from 8.6.

After about 5 10-15% water changes and turning off my dosing, I’m at 10 dKH today. Corals appear to be ok, still holding my breath though.

Got tired of my conchs knocking over my gonis in the sand so I attached them to a rock island today. Happy with how it turned out.
