Made my run to the LFS, picked up my 300g Tropic Marin saltmix and had my water tested since its been more than a couple months. I need to start testing my water again every two days.....

Salinity 1.021
pH 8
Alk 5.3
Cal 440
Mag 980
Nitrate 40
phos 0

I need to get less happy with feeding my fishes with pellets. Tweak my dosing pumps and did a slight increase on my alk and mag. Also mixed a higher salinity batch of saltwater to slowly raise it back to 1.026. On the other note, My yellow corris wrasse is alive, im guessing it was just sleeping in on a friday.

Stared at this mystery algae. WTF, is it????!!!!!!!!! It's literally making me upset. Lucky this rock I can pull out. Anyone care to humor me with an ID. Looks like pieceofsh!talgae to me.

Why is my tapatalk acting up?

Now I'm waiting for all my wrasses to go to sleep. Only so I can tactically position Bhergia in operation: Eradicate Aiptasia.

Placed 14 on Aiptasia, 6 went into the refugium. I figure the live sand I bought used is mostly in my sump so those bhergia are gonna be humpin and eatin like rabbits.

I accidentally pointed the 6105 at my pink lemonade and it stn'd from the bottom. Hopefully that's what it is. Measured alk, low but in the range it's normally at.

woke up this morning staring at my tank and seeing my red monti cap with some dead spots. Well Lets say i destroyed my 2 years of growing cap. Dam monti eating nudis came back with a vengeance after 8 months of not having them. Not looking forward to dipping them, so off they go into the trash can :(
