Forgot these guys.

Got rid of some frags and finally turned in the
Devils hand leather. Picked up some gleaming white base rock to kind of fill in space and moved a piece of tricolor granulosa and the blue tenius to places that show the pieces off a bit more.

Loving this side shot

Some stn on my tricolor granulosa and myagi tort. I have two frags of each that are not. I hacked one into smaller pieces. We will see how it goes.

Tested my trace elements. Iron undetectable as it should be. Iodine .06 and potassium 440ppm. Po4 .075ppm. Salinity 1.026 temp 79. My ph dipped to 8 after cleaning my skimmer and ato. It seems to be back on track after one day. I also topped off my ca solution using Randy's reef recipe. I have my mix ratios noted so that they are the same.
I plan on more tests later. No3, alk, ca, and mg.

 

[mshonk]

Alk 7.3, ca 415ppm , mg 1310ppm no3 in a bit. Other than the ph swing nothing has swung or impacted the tank or params. Stn has been in effect for about two weeks. ??? Overall everything is healthy.

 

[mshonk]

No3 3ppm. I bumped up the dose to 15ml of no3 soultion from 10 ml I want to start to see 5-8ppm no3. I've been between 2 -4pmm for a while now. Think its time for the increase. I want to shoot some par on the tank to see if the lights are still kicking out the same numbers.

I beleive the stn was caused from some temp swings 1 month ago and not the ph. The ph was recent, though it may have added to the stress in the environment. We will see what happens. All of the pieces that are stning have before and have recovered in the past. some pieces numerous times.

Cleaned a powerhead today. Also added one in the frag section in my sump. I never thought I would have turnover from my powerheads reach over 90 times per hour.
Thats in the dt and the frag section is 12 by 12 x 9 and has roughly 1500gph flow from three small powerheads.

My skimmer is also running a little wet since cleaning it but I am sure it will stabilize quickly.

Full tank shot plus the frag rack. Man I love that elegance and it is getting big!

 

[mshonk]

Pice because I am bored.

So I saw something wormlike and black on the sps that has been dying back from stn so I pulled the rock out dipped and fragged the coral by accident and rearraged some of the sps. I also fragged some of the spongodes monti.
