between 2 jobs and a family, 3 tanks, i'm getting 0 time sitting down and track my tank progress :/ but alas I'm updating something now.
got some sps frags from
@Bruce Spiegelman and
@daddio , Thanks guys! they are looking great btw,
tried a gyre 150 in the 50g lowboys, no go, it can't push enough water across 4 feet like mp40 does half the effort. but the thing is really quiet. so gyre is gone.
aqua forest 1 2 3 can't catch up with the dosing requirement, i have to get a new set every other month.. so i have to use kalk instead.
i tried the reverse light hours for the sump ( it used to be on 24hrs for sump, and 10hrs for DT/Frag tank) and guess what,
@Flagg37, my ph went up to 8.0 and stayed there for a good amount of time instead of swining from 7.6-7.8 ( i still need to reconnect my external air tubes to my skimmer ) but the garage is pretty well ventilated with air coming from outside with side vents.
cutting up more frags..
making softie/zoa frag tank fishless so I dont dump any food in there but the reefrodi/coral food. to reduce the waste in the tank and less work to cleaning it up. might do the same with SPS frag tank as well soon.
currently battling hair algae in the frag tanks, and still trying to figure out which fish eats my algae, i thought it was my yellow tangs but turns out it wasn't, ( good thing i didn't get new yellow tangs..), what happened was I put some frags with bad GHA into my DT magnet rack on the side, and next day the GHA is all gone, so there's a fish that's mowing down the gha, i'd have to 'catch them' and move it to the frag tank just to clean up my GHA issue, the other fishes that i haven't tried are, hippos tang, fox face, flame angle, squirrel face, and damselfish???
i may have forgetting something but.. here's the brain dump for the moment. oh yes i need to kickmyself to record water test results :/
