Time to go snuggle with the dog and eat some chocolate.
 
PSA: With proper dosing you too can get your alk in line.
This am its up to 7.0 from 6.1. 24 hr increase going to keep it slow and steady. such a "rookie" mistake/oversight. live and learn.
 
Need to find new place for pink octo. Sps fell into it and it's a goner. Now it's fighting with the chalice on the left. Need to frag or move it to the back away from everything else. It's what was killing another coral too that I moved. Plate isn't pleased either.

Cleaned the overflow weir and powerheads. Flow is much better. Need to invest in some bumble bee snails it appears a certain spot in the tank has an abundance of worms of the not good sort. Had some weird eggs on the glass the other day, weren't the snail ones I was familiar with may have been the clowns but they have all been eaten. Alk is where it should be and as a result ph is doing much better as well. Hoping things are finally on the upswing or at least stable and happy. Fund's for the tank, other than essentials are getting locked down as well. At least until tax time has past and I know whether I owe for working the second job or not. Water change for the office tank tomorrow.
Things are good in the hood. Have a wonderful new years.
 
My kids are taking pottery lessons do free hand clay projects.
Upper left bowl was paint only, pre formed. The other 3 I did all by myself :)
