i added a few frags like a week or two ago to test them out. the digis and birdsnest were very sensitive to the metals in my tank, so i figured a small piece of bubblegum digi would be good to try, then a brown tenuis frag, and a piece of anacropora, and another random acro. the acros also weren't happy, but had a really delayed effect thing going on.
i feel like they're doing ok, the brown tenuis has turned blue oddly enough, but polyp extension is poor, so i hesitate to add more stuff if i'm still dealing with metals issues. it's like i traded out some metals for some new stuff like tin. apparently people get tin from flexible hoses, so that's not ideal. i don't get great PE anyway, probably due to the coral nippers, so it's kinda hard to tell and i just have to be patient
i sent in a triton test on thursday, but the triton machine at unique is down for the count so they're routing tests to europe, so who knows when the results will be ready
what sucks is i feel like i got tin and iron despite me running all of these metal absorber things. so it's like what can i add to get rid of tin? lol
cyano is pretty nutty now, but it's kinda snuffing out the turf algae? so i kinda want to leave it? i tried siphoning some during my water change last night, but obviously.. not a ton of progress. i bottomed out my nitrates so that's probably why they arrived, but i figured if cyano was killing off the turf algae that works for me. i can always do chemiclean to get rid of cyano if need be. and i guess reef flux if i need to kill off the turf algae
