Pretty amazing how fast an acro can color back up. This BC Backdraft the Movie acro got knocked over and I didn’t notice until it lost most of its color. It’s awesome how quickly they can get their color back.

Went on a 9 day trip to Europe and broke the cardinal rule about not making changes to your tank before leaving. I somehow managed to add 30 acro frags two days before I left to the IM75 after they went through a short QT. There were just a couple great deals I couldn’t pass up on.

Definitely don’t do this if you’re afraid of managing it remotely and/or you have zero faith in Trident. I was able to manage a big increase in my alk uptake by adjusting the amount of co2 injected in my calcium reactor. Decreasing the pH of the reactor as needed. I had an alk swing the first couple of days of my trip, but by day 4-5, I had managed to keep it pretty stable. I did lose one frag, but I’ll just chalk that up to transferring the frag to a new tank.

I also added these o-rings to all my frag plugs so the urchin and the turbo snails didn’t knock off any frags while I was gone. They worked quite well and all the plugs were still where they were supposed to be.
