Good News/Bad News
A free-thought/free-flow update!
My Kenya Trees have GOT to go! (See coral swap/sale section for thread.)
I noticed some tissue loss on my pocillopora. I believe it is from rubbing or being too close to my big pinkish kenya tree - on the opposite side of the poci, there is new growth going on!
ALSO, my hydnophora is not happy. There is some tissue loss, but it is only on the shady side of the hydno... may post a new thread on that.
Good news!
My orange monti cap hasn't shown a lot of edge growth, BUT the "hole" - from where the evil clown flipped it onto a mushroom and the mushroom tried to eat it - is almost completely re-fleshed! I didn't even notice it until tonight, but there is almost NO white there.
My purple grape monti cap is growing fast. The orange monti digi and green monti digi are growing fast and well. My acros are growing well. My birdsnest is a growing MACHINE! Frags of that thing will be coming soon.
Bad News
- NITRATES ARE UP! A hair over 20! ... I forgot to clean the sponge in the over flow (I leave it there for noise control) for like two weeks. It was FILTHY. I also needed to change the carbon in the back compartment as it was old too. Nitrates should be back down pretty soon.
Kalk is a little low, and so is calcium, both in the good zone, but on the low side. I dosed a two part to bring them up a bit. pH is good!
I need to get a Magnesium test kit and soon!
More Good News!
My big pistol shrimp "released" the mushroom he stole last week. The mushroom is recovering in a shady spot in the back of the tank. Hopefully he will live. He was expelling a little something after I "rescued" him.
Odd news
My fish don't swim out in the open unless they see me there. What is that about? My clown stays behind "his" rock. My royal gramma stays in her cave. My six-line swims in the rocks. My yellow watchman takes a nap.
Finally
Amquel smells like Japanese or vietnamese food. I can't quite tell which, but I'm leaning towards beef underdone with vermicelli.
