Looks like the Bower is healing. This might have been a "good thing" if I decide to frag it down the road.

How's the carbon dosing working?

Beats me. Still going at 10ml daily. Haven't tested Nitrates recently. I just got my reagents while I was out of town. If I'm under 75 it's going good but I probably need to up it a little more.

Nitrates are still flashing
Phosphates are still holding steady 0.17
Alkalinity is 8.2

Gonna check Calcium and Magnesium here in a bit. Also probably gonna clean the glass and "let it snow!"

Double the dose and check in 1 week. Increase 10 ml a week till you see a difference. It might take 50-60ml a day.

I know. I don't really care about reducing them much since my corals are happy - I'm more interested in keeping them from rising too much more.

Have any macroalgae in your display? I put codium, botrycladia and pom pom gracilaria in mine previously and it dropped nitrates probably ~20ppm once it started growing.

I had some Dragons Breath but it all died. I had Ulva but it died in the Fuge and spread in the DT. Nothing was eating it so I Flux RXed it. I need to get something in the Fuge (besides just my Filefish).

Codium and Botrycladia are my go-to's. The first one is resilient and grows well. The second looks great, is not at all invasive, and once it really takes off with a few big branches full of grapes, it puts work in. What herbivores do you have?

Powder Brown, Tomini, Starry Blenny, Lawnmower Blenny, Hermit Crabs, Snails, Emerald Crabs... I'm planning on eventually adding another Tang and replacing my Foxface and maybe replacing the Hector's Goby.

Yup, that's probably fuge-only for macros, then. Could try some calcified macros in the display, but I've never found them to be particularly useful for nutrients, but then again, my calcified ones never grew very well (mermaid's fan, bottle brush, pencil cap, halimeda...).

Slimeball trimmings are healing nicely. I wish they weren't just little things ()

I like the interface! The AI has a really hard time with glasses, though, lol!

Temples of frame different thickness

Inverted temples:

Extra lenses, extra eyes (no comment on the dogs nails)...

p.s. ran one with the dog eating sushi and the AI made a bizarre one with the dog's hands into balls of sushi rice with pink fingernails sticking out that looked like tightly rolled up salmon.

AI im general seems to have troubles with hands, feet, eyes, weapons, and anything that's something. Try asking any AI interface for a compound bow...

looks like the best you could do was a recurve!
