Yes, the light makes the tips look blue, it is purple!

New animals that all need to be glued to rocks!

Step 3, 4, 5 and hopefully this paly isn’t sending me to the ER...I’m not about that frag plug life

 

[Magellan]

Step 6:

9 new corals glued down in the tank. 0 frag plugs
Time to find my beach!

Nice additions, I use the same glue, very good and no waste.

I tried 5x to glue down my new birds nest after having easy success on 8 other frags...gave up and used putty :mad:

made a nice little zoa island though, 7 different species

Are we back to the snorting thing again?

Some new additions came out to play

Other shots from today:

Parameters as of tonight:

Alk- 7.4 (Salifert)
Ca- 415 (Salifert)
P04- <.02 (Hannah)
N04- 4 (Red Sea)
PH- 8.2 (API)
Salinity- 1.026 (refractometer)

Consumption has increased, I have been dosing more than in the past but alk and calcium are still slightly lower than I would like.

My scoly was looking a little shrunken at night and didn’t seem to be as actively feeding as in the past. I have made it a point to increase pellet feeding (thank you again @living_tribunal) and he looked better today than I’ve ever seen!

new trumpet isn’t shy either! (Thank you @Robin Haselden !!)

Glad everything is looking good. How's that seriatopora doing? You said it was stressed from trouble getting it glued.

415 and 7.4 are really close to NSW numbers. Perfectly fine to run there. Stability over chasing numbers. Test your fresh salt water and try to hold close to that.

Have you checked Mg lately? It's probably fine but could affect Ca and Alk. I run around 425 and 8.0, altho it has been sitting a little high at 8.3. I seem to remember it wanted to sit there last time I actually was taking care of the tank.

After looking at this one again, although I know what's happening, I have decided to be ignorant of the facts and see what I want to see; a healthy sampling of rare and exotic beers!

A few ales and stouts in there.

To be completely honest, I don’t own a test for mag. I’ll occasionally take water into the LFS and have them check it, can’t remember what the number was last time other than “mag is normal”. It’s in the 2 part I use (seachem reef fusion) and I haven’t worried about it. But now I’m overthinking this. Is Salifert going to be a good option for that test?

birds nest had some polyp extension yesterday, last one to open. Everything else is looking great, even the zoa that got sandbedded by a kind hermit crab the first night.
