Automation is pro. I haven't looked at my graph in awhile I have a display panel I check in the am
Yeah it was time man. For the longest I just couldn't justify the cost but getting too busy to keep up was probably a blessing in disguise in the long run. Going to be interesting to watch things unfold in next few weeks and to see what happens with tank in next year or so.

I have zero mushrooms in my reef tank
Loop this track Nate. In the interim I am working overtime on trying to figure out a way to take and make lessons learned from this thread applicable to all reef tanks:)

It's been a slow roll getting Alk dialed back in. I don't think I'll be pushing further than 7.6-7.8. As minimal as it is I do have life coming back online in alk usage dept and def seeing trends now.

Cleaned the glass, cranked up flow and got light schedule ramping moar faster like before. Somewhere along the line I got smart and dialed lights back along the way of not paying attention to stuff.
So far so good.

Keep me updated on your long term feelings about apex, trying to decide if I might wanna go that route when I set the cade back up after the move.
Definetely will:D I want to see what happens when I get DOS plugged in and all set up. So far it really does feel like the missing piece to my reef success puzzle.

I fell off my own page but @LRT you were right monti caps are showing green skin again. Maybe a couple more weeks till they are back online.
Don't feel bad Nate my wife stuck this goblin stick we have on a rack in the shade and it bleached out but finally starting to get its color back:D

I literally find mushrooms, in random places Constantly.

Example 1.

what the heck you doin Earl?
PXL_20221121_205345628.jpg

Discos be Poppin up in rock that was seeded with recently dead coral skeleton. I've got 3 entire rocks I refused to use again because they are covered with multiple clusters of "so-so" shrooms. I'll frag off the ones I like, and give the rocks with the rest of the life on it, to my LFS when they reopen. Everyone says mushrooms are super hardy. I find it to be a very mixed bag. I've lost 30 to 50 mushrooms since the fire. As far as percentage goes, proportionally I think I lost as many of those as I did to euphyllia. Less than SPS.
