Rock flowers had a spawning event last night. Seems random. Clownfish are pervs and love the free snacks the rfa's are providing. I had 6 or 7 actively responding. Others looked normal.

How are the ponies?
Pony-in'. They're good. The male has been flirting a lot with a few females. Added a bottle of pods. Did a big cleaning. Saw the porcelain crab. Added a new red algea a week or so ago, they love it. Also tossed in a red finger gorg because it wasn't going to make it in the Eel tank.

Pony things.

Acros give us all the troubles. I love my bta's both of them. But other life seems to be showing up.

Any acro updateS?
Out of my battle box only 2 survived, green one is actively growing, I need to glue it soon as it's encrusting is reaching the bottom of the plug. The other is not showing growth really, but it's super furry with polyps daily. And apparently I need to do some manual aglea control.

My digi is officially a permanent resident on the frag rock as it's really over grown on the aquarocks rack. Way too textured to be able to pop it off. And I'm going to have to frag the heck out of it to be able to keep using it. It's encroaching on everybody.

And this cool thing in the back I forgot what it was called is encrusting.

You don't have to glue it once the skeleton touches the rock, it'll attach itself soon afterwards.
That's not where I want those, silly. Meant to be a temporary holding area, just prettier than a blank frag rack. The digi I let hang out too long and now it'll never leave, muahaha .

So I've been using All for Reef lately, increasing now to daily dosing, and now I'm realizing I need a doser.

THERE'S SO MANY. The more I read about them the more I'm confused to what I actually need.

Currently using the liquid AFR, but will be buying the powder next time. I'm reading crystalization is a thing, so this might impact which doser to use.

Any suggestions?

I like the kamoer singles bluetooth versions. They don't have the wifi but they seem pretty reliable and not Uber expensive. I also got a kamoer 5 head from Ali express. That one is wifi. Took a little time to get here but way cheaper then I could find online. I like kamoer some don't. They work for me.

I was looking at those, because cheap. But the one I looked at had the tubes coming from the top and that confused me. I'll go stalk your thread....

I use a jebaeo doser. So far its working. However, you need to setup a 2.4ghz broadband to program it if your modem is only using 5ghz.
Totally have the separate WiFi, had to for the noopsyches. I'll check em out.
