It's a different right one. Chrysus is solid yellow, leucoxanthus is yellow and white. Both are very similar and both are good at eating pests.

Upgraded capacity of dosing containers. Needed to make it through vacation. 1500ml wasn't lasting a week. New improvement is 4L!

Planning to add the black tubing replacement tomorrow and that'll hopefully stop algae from growing in lines and causing issues with kh guardian blockages.

Realized my pale acros on the corners were because I forgot to re turn on the kessils after turning them off for the dino situation. Oppsie.

Crazy how a night of sleep is like a reset button for fish.

Yesterday added the new 3 baby chromis to the tank. My pack of 4 was mostly ok but was telling them to leave. So I had 2 packs.

This AM everyone is so far hanging out .

Like a.... Cool you didn't stab me in the night I think we'll all be ok

Got back home last night around midnight from our trip.

Cleaned front glass this am.

Minimal dinos vacuumed.

The monti I got before I left melted back a decent amount. Think I started it too high.

Only a few corals moved around and needed reglued.

Phyto is looking thiccc.

All in all happy.

Will test tonight probably and see where we are at.
