Ohh heck no.

Mine are 17 and 16. 15 months (deployment lol) apart.

Damian just graduated and goes to UT Knoxville this fall. Paxtin is a Junior this year.

Almost free lol. Don’t get me wrong, I love my kids, more than anything. 2 was enough for me though. Wife is clipped and I got snipped. Didn’t want to take the chance lol.

So the green nepthea is getting a little too big for its britches. I think the time is coming for it to go under the scissors.

Alk now 9.9
Calcium 440.
I overshot the alk now what?
8.5 was the goal.

How much alk is your tank using? How long has it been at 9.9.

 

[F i s h y]

Also how quick was the change?

Over two weeks.

I have a feeling Everything should be fine. Just let it come down naturally.

Don't tell any one but our alk swings daily sometimes by a hole point

I tested two weeks ago. It was 7. I'm trying to dial that in. I need to do better testing

I figured it would since it was a gradual change. My one acro is still growing and doing well.
Thanks @F i s h y and @MERKEY

That's the one to really watch

 

[sfin52]

So let it naturally come down. How often should I test?

If your goal is 8.5 I would test tomorrow in the morning to see how much it dropped.

If you can do it in 6 hours you can see how much it used and base off of the usage. I use 6 as it's a factor of 24.

If it's down to 9 then you know the next 6 hours it should drop another .9

You can break down the 24hr usage and then figure out how much the DOS needs to use hourly to keep it at 8.5.

Ya its going to be going back to the guy who gave it to me. He had a power outage and lost some of his acros. One of the ones he lost was the mother of the frag he gave me.

Good news is most are coloring back up. Paying it forward.

@MERKEY is spot on. How is everything else? Other tanks doing well?

Easy peasey.

My Frags are now already little trees in their own right

Acro is fine no lose of color problu has doubled in thickness. Haven't seen branching but definitely thicker.
Coraline is growth is off the charts. Prob the reason why my alk and calcium was low.
All zoas,rfa, and bta look good. You guys already know how the leathers look. Duncan has one new head I think I've seen one more.


I'll run another round of tests and see what it's like. I'm never home at the same time testing at the same time is a challenge.

At night does the growth of the coral slow down or pick up?

Calcium 420
