Nope, no split. It still looks like it is but it hasn't completed it.... Maybe it's just me???

May just be growing another mouth getting ready for splitsville. When they do finally split 99% of the time it happens in one night. You’ll wake up to see two or the very tail end of the tearing apart. Ive only ever caught the last bit but once.

That's kind of what I'm thinking. I looked at the foot last night after lights out and can sort of see where it may split. I am just not really sure as I have never witnessed it before...

I have never seen them split, I wish I could though! I'm sure it would be awesome to watch!

I look at the foot every night trying to see if it is starting or not.

If you didn't live so far away I would give you one of ours. They are "experienced splitters".

I'm just excited to see if it is or if I'm just nuts....probably just nuts. ;Hilarious ;Hilarious

Is that considered "carbon dosing"???

Well tank is starting to get HA in tufts around the tank. Not really sure why as parameters seemed great at last test. Going to test today to see where things are. Was hoping the tang and blenny would help with this but both don't seem to pick at the rocks much. Corals look good as well as the bta.

I've gone back to putting kalk in my ATO but I m only using clear kalk water and not cloudy with precip. Not sure if it is doing much but I will find out after tests are done. Still have to clean the glass at least once a day or the glass is murky. Thinking about starting a fuge of some sort but how and where is what I need to figure out. Water is really clear and looks good to the eye but that is really nothing, isn't it?

Well now I'm thoroughly confused. I was figuring I would have had high nutrients for the HA to be growing as fast as it is but nope. I know that it absorbs them and will skew the readings but they are low to nonexistent...

Sal - 1.024
Ca - 430
Mg - 1420
dkH - 6.78 (low so dosed some to bring it up)
pH - 8.0
PO4 - .0399 (need to change out GFO I guess)
NO3 - <1 (dosed NeoNitro to bring it up)

Added Vibrant to maybe help with HA and also dosed some iodine and ESV B-ionic. Just not sure where to go from here for the HA....
