Well the Accurasea1 led me to figure out my calibration solution for the refractometer was reading low. Tank looks to have crept up to 1.030..
With the new salt, I was mixing 4g of water to read 1.026, instead of 4.5g... a new bottle of calibration solution and now that's all straightened out, so I'll get some parameters on the next batch.
Added the Yellowfin Flasher to the tank. The Linespot did not take kindly to his release.. they both spent some time individually in the acclimation box and now seem to be fine, just a little chasing now and again.
It has been interesting though. The Linespots dorsal filaments were damaged when he had a bacterial infection in quarantine, it's been months so I didn't think they would come back.. They were barely visible. Now, after close to 2 weeks of having another Flasher in the tank, he is starting to regrow them. They have at least tripled in size! He has also become more brazen, even charging the yellow watchman goby (he used to hit the screen top every time the YWG flared at him)
I received the Inland Diamond band saw I won here on R2R this past weekend. Looking forward to cracking it open tomorrow!
