It was a goal to make it one year. Thinking next goal is 5 years. I may not make it that long

Got gift card for LFS and ICP test.
I ran a manual test on trident took sample and shipped test.
The tank the past week looks the best it ever has with the exception of acros. We will figure them out.

Used gift card to grab candy cane and a chili pepper montipora that I been watching for a couple months. Montipora doesn’t look as health as the other frags but worked a deal for this one.
Any thoughts good or bad on the montipora is appreciated

Thanks. Moved the dragon soul on a frag rack Sunday. So far it looks about the same.

Thank you Victoria for so many kind words. All of you made it possible to have the aquarium and made so many great friends.

I can’t stop looking at Rich’s photos so I picked out a bunch and having them printed on acrylic. Acrylic prints is new to me and I hope they come out great.

Wish you and family a great new year!

I can’t wait to see too. Hope they don’t get to pixelated being 8x10. I will share the pictures when I get them.

That’s really cool Don. I didn’t know you could get prints on acrylic as well as glass. Excited to see how they come out.

I didn’t get that one printed as far as R2R is concerned. What happens in NSFW stays there.

5 weeks ago I switched from friz salt to Tropic Marin Pro. I was surprised doing 10% water changes I didn’t see my Alk, Ca, Mag going down even tho it has lower parameters on Trident. Then I noticed a spike up after the weekends water change.
Mag blue Ca orange

Figures good time to test new batch of mixed TMP for parameters 35.0ppt 7.7 Alk and found Ca and Mag to be so high I couldn’t get the color change. Took sample to different LFS I go to to have them test it. They got the same results. Walking around the store thinking what could be wrong I haven’t herd of bad salt batches recently. Before I leave I ask them to check salinity and he says 1.028. I said impossible it was checked 10 times with my Hanna and it reads .01 off.3 more test and calibrations he says nope 1.028.
Puzzled be cause mine reads test solution ok and matches 2 other units.
mixed one more batch of salt this time to .33ppt
AlK 7.0
Ca 440-459
Mag 1350
That is with in spec of TMP specs.

I’m lazy and would have never checked Ca and Mag until it was to late. Glad I had the trident.
