Only give them big shells so they are easy to catch and cannot hide. They think they are moving into the big house and then bam... back into the jail house.

I don’t like the 4am puking kid wake up.

I do like the sweeping Candy Cane.

Result = no emoticon as one cancels the other.

Sending good and healthy vines to baby bear and some for mama bear to fight off whatever puking illness baby bear is fighting.

#Cronies and others I need some advice. I am really worried about my long polyp leather.
IMG_4638.jpg

I am going to through out anything I have done in the last week. It might not be related but you will have all the info.
Last Wednesday eveything was looking good. it was a snow day so I decided to run some tests on the cube (32 gallon). I dont normally check ALK in the cube because I had been doing 5 gallon water changes 1 to 2 times per week religiously for over a year. I use reef crystals. The Salifert Alk test came back close to 6. PH 8.15 calc ~450. I mixed 1/4 tsp of baking soda with tank water and dumped half of it in. Waited until the following morning and then put the other half in. I then did another 5 gallon water change because I do those on Wednsday. On Friday (48 hours later) everything was still looking fine Alk was up to 6.3. continued dosing with baking soda and my ALK was 6.8 by Sunday (48 hours later-yesterday) Sunday is when I noticed my duncan had closed. which allowed me to see some bubble alage on it i needed to take care of. I removed the frag and then placed it back on the sand because I didnt have anymore super glue. To make room I moved my Long poly leather to the back corner. It was closed all day yesterday..... leaning but upright. This morning it was still closed and now hunching over. I moved it back to its original spot in case it hated its new location. It and the duncan are still closed. Everything else is fine. The hunching over part is the most concerning part. It has never done this to me. I ordered some red sea test to cross check the salifert because the ALK doesnt make sense to me, given how frequent and the amount of water changes I do, and the other numbers Im getting. The NO3 is usually around 12 in this tank even with the water changes, so I don't think nutrients are an issue?

Any thoughts on what I should check tonight? should I run some carbon? SOS. I know that was a lot to read... TYIA

Let him sit for a bit n stop moving him about. Mine got cranky like that once in awhile without me moving it... now Timmy just munches on it so it never opens.
