Maybe that's where the 3 mini maxi nems are at for me. Though I suspect they are long gone

Tank being locked in is sorta boring ....

Haha

Things are going well ... Wonders why. Windows open this week. Alk and calcium consumption way up. Dropped 1+ single day auto doser caught up at night.

@F i s h y similar results

Coral be growing. Monthly updates

Many have put on some lbs for winter

 

[Nate Chalk]

Maybe an oopsy

Windows closed, cleaned gyres = pH swing the wrong way and a flow change.

Oddly some coral looking stressed, an acro peeling from base , very slow. Another little frag similar.

Others mostly ok some polyp retracting

Tested to be sure, 8.6 alk, 2.8 N, .08 P

Just display fuge presenting dinos on algae. So strange. Been doing phyto daily.

Going to change carbon tomorrow. Maybe stressing that too.

Can't think of anything else.

 

[Nate Chalk]

And by minor stress besides the 2 peelers...

Slight slight polyp retracting

 

[Stang67]

May just need a day to get used to the new flow pattern. Slight swing in ph shouldn't be too bad.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Did some of the O**** protocol today, just because when i see some acro peelage


The small patch of dinos in the fuge, removed them today as they were growing in numbers. Going to leave the fuge light off for a few days.


They probably resulted from low nutrients bottoming out throughout the day, I havent been home to feed as much being at the office. Tested at 2.8 N after feeding and dumping phyto.

Bumped up nutrients some now, and will return everything to normal in 2-3 days.

Things already looking much happier today.

 

[Stang67]

Turn off skimmer too?

 

[Nate Chalk]

Turn off skimmer too?

Opened it's b plug

It's a foaming good, I dumped some skimmate to pump up nutrients

 

[Nate Chalk]

Having a bubble party over here. All invited clothing optional

Fooled @F i s h y

 

[Nate Chalk]

Carbon reactor was offline ... Clogged return line from unit. Whoop

That was probably it ...

 

[Nate Chalk]

When will the peel stop is my next question and the answer is when it wants to

 

[Nate Chalk]

Better pic of the peel ouchy

 

[Nate Chalk]

@F i s h y says colt

Last colt in tank was over a year ago. And not on this rock.

Pink color is right but pic was blurry

 

[fishguy242]

acros stop receding ?
