FTS to start this page off!

I love my tank. It's nice to me. I just keep getting people jumping on my thread saying "Gimme pictures, I don't want to look for them." I'm going to start posting a FTS on every page. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

I saw the questions on yours, that's why I linked it on the first post of mine. No one wants to see my tank though.

FTS!

I always want to see pictures. Once I've seen a FTS I no longer need them - just new corals and fish pics.

So alk is just at 8... How is it my alk doesn't move for a week and then just seems to drop???

Corals or coraline taking off? Ph shift?


I’ve actually lowered my alk to hover at 7-7.4 and my colors and growth seem to be doing better. Probably circumstantial but it’s working for me.

No and no. Not that I noticed. pH is lowish - 7.83. I've got quite a few corals but haven't noticed any significant growth over the last couple of days. Always a possibility though for sure! Thanks for the suggestions.

If there are big changes, a fts is nice. and if there is a giveaway and I have nothing else to add to the thread. If growth is noticeable in the fts I might like to see that.

I haven't really made too many changes. Ad a rock, add a rack, add a fuge, move a rock, add a rack fuge stand...

Alright! pH on the new Aragocrete water only went up by about 0.5 yesterday. Saltwater soak started! I added some phosphates to "hopefully" help not start soaking up phosphates from the tank when I add them. Just did a water change so they're soaking in aged water from the 125.

Also, some more cool news: I designed a couple of items on TinkerCAD. I'm going to send them over to the library and hopefully I'll have a few new toys coming soon!

Rough draft... Whatcha think for a Micro/Goni/Zoa garden?

stop buying shipping for your free corals and you can get a cheap printer.

I've been good! Only 1 livesale since Black Friday.

Besides, the library prints for $0.10 per gram or something. Maybe ounce? Who knows. The last thing I sent over only cost me $5.

Hey @stoney7713 when I said I only had one BTA last night what I meant was I have 2. 2 Joker Nexus BTA...

Not sure when it happened but this guy wanded away from the other one sometime this morning...

My requests have been sent to the person handling the 3D printing. Hopefully we can get something printed up and installed on the tank here before too long!
