I waited a month with zero sightings. I had minimal rock work so there really wasn’t anywhere for him to entirely disappear to for that length of time. If he’s in there I can always return the new one but I have had zero indication that he is. I had a large nutrient spike the day after he died...

Please excuse the cloudy tank, I stirred up my sand in the process of adding rocks.

Brightwell has a product called chetogrow. I’ve heard of people having success with it. Not sure if it adds nitrates thought.

I’m on it! I’ll add at least 4 more caves in addition to the 3-4 I already added.

Added a handful of small rocks to form additional mini arches and caves. The pink streaked wrasse arrived and is in basic observation at my LFS. I’ll pick it up Saturday or Sunday, possibly Monday depending on my schedule.

I started dosing 5ML of Reef Nutrition phyto daily to boost my pod population and supplement coral feeding. I also feed a second meal per day of RN TDO small pellets. Only my clownfish eat them and no other fish goes to the surface.

I did mix it up as best as I could.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you can get a new light asap.

My daytime pH high is 8.3ish. I have a window exhaust fan going 24/7 which is contributing quite a bit. Ph drops into the mid 7s when windows are closed for more than 24h. I dont want to run kalk or a co2 scrubber so I've ordered 50ft of airline for my skimmer and I will turn it up.

FTS 10/27

I’m going back to Neptune tmr to pick up a Salifert test kit, just in case my redsea pro is lying to me.

That's what I was worried about. Neptune recommended esv over others... I now have 0.75 gallons of mag that I have no need for lol.

After being a little overzealous with magnesium additive, I'm now at 1350. I didn't mean to spike it beyond 100ppm but life goes on. I will do the suggested 50ml/day for two more days.

I dosed 50ppm worth of esv mag. I’ll test in a few minutes. Thanks all!

I ran to Neptune. $47 for ESV liquid mag. More than a new bucket of salt, ouch. Next time I’m texting you first!

Follow up question: How fast can I get my tank back up to 1500? Do I have to go slowly like alk or can I spike it from 1200 to 1500?

Instant Ocean wants a sample and will be sending out a new bucket. I ordered Kent magnesium supplement in the mean while. I dont want any torch bailout caused by sub 1200 mag! I like to keep mine at 1500.

Hi all! I tested my tank's mag and its low, around 1200. I just tested the bucket I did a large WC with and it's mag is also low, below 1200. Reef Crystals is supposed to be 1450-1500ppm and that's usually what I test at. I will now test the rest of the buckets parameters to be safe. If they're...

I’ll add some extra rock work before the new fish arrives to add additional hides and caves. The Reef beef episode was very informative.

I’m working my way through reef beef and I’m on episode 3. I’ll watch that right now, thanks!
