My mixed reef dream tank

[tbrown]

Any chance you have your tank recently set-up? Sounds like your rocks/sand is buffering, which would be normal in a fairly new set-up. I wouldn’t worry about the dkh drop, unless there is no coral in the tank.
My kh would drop by about 2.3dkh a day if I would stop dosing haha

My tank has been set up since July. I'm not worried. Just silly things our tanks do to keep us in our toes. I made some of my rocks, used some live rock, and some old rock. Used a couple types of bacteria and live sand and old sand. I know the phosphates are still soaking in and I wasn't worried about the alk drop. I have plenty of corals to soak it up.

Kole tang is doing kinda good. He had a rough first night as he seems to got into a fight with my pair of clown fish. The clown fish are extremely defensive over their area and bite any fish or even me, that comes close. The kole tang lost 1/4 of his tail, but the fins seems to be healing already. Luckily no signs of ick..
He seems to be a really picky eater though. He refuses the frozen brine shrimp, frozen mysis, the nori and the flake food I offer. The guy even ignores the hair algae, which is the reason I bought him in the first place…. He is scraping the algae of the rocks and the glass, and does still look really full and healthy. I guess he starts with the food he likes the most first ‍

So I found that throwing the female clownfish out of the tank when she bites you tends to curb the biting for a bit. Longer if she doesn't survive... Maybe that's not the best recommendation.

It worked for mine. She's a model citizen now.

Haha, I’ve tried smacking her back, but that clearly didn’t do the job

I really need to find out how I insert gifs on here. Makes reading this whole thing a lot more fun

Sadly my tank is still going down hill. Lost all of my acroporas in the tank. I can’t seem to find the root cause of this tragedy… please find attached my icp test. I’ve increased my strontium already.
