Good Sunday,
Ok, so I was trying to improve my water parameters...now my tank is mad at me.
I have been working to 1) get rid of Dinos and 2) get my parameters in the ranges recommended.
My nitrates and phosphates were zero, so with a bit more feeding and some ME Nitrate, my Nitrates are 10 and my Phosphates are .04.
My Alk was 8.0 and last week it was 8.3, but I put too much Fusion 2 in and the ALK jumped to 9.3. It has been dropping .5 a week, but that has slowed to .2.
Calc is still holding at 480.
Temp is steady at 78.5
The bad thing is
The good thing is
I have been using DinoX every other night.
Any suggestions or just deal with the Aiptasia and wait on the corals.

The bad thing is
- Last night I found an aiptasia - very small but it's there. Will try kalkwaser paste and super glue it today.
- The Candy Cane and Duncan are not opening up like they were. The Duncan is fully closed.
- The Zoa is 3/4" the size it was last week
The good thing is
- The dinos seem to be declining. fingers crossed.
