Maybe! That Digi has died like 6 times already and that's only a small portion of the "colony" if it gets stung and dies.

And he zapped it. That one area is now black - that happened quick. NO3 is 36.5 and phosphate are still nondetectable. I didn't even notice a tint of blue this time. Fed some Reef Roids, Benepets, and Reef Candy. Added 15 ppm of Magnesium.

Scooby Doo is turning green, Pink Cadillac is Green Cadillac, Acroberry is still blue/purple, Raindrops on Roses PE seems a little less than normal but the color is still purple. Creature and Orange Blast are full PE. Orange Blast is orange and Creature is coloring up - still mostly pale pink though.

Well guys (and gals) we'll see how this goes. I signed up to be an Aqueon brand ambassador!

Between him and the Urchin... I'm looking for a Club/Mine Urchin. Could have bought a Money Cowrie but I hear they're usually a cold water species and I didn't want it to suffer in my tank until it died and unaturally early death.

Well, I'm pretty sure the Raindrops on Roses is a goner. I must have had a spike at some point because it's STN both from the tips and the base. Unfortunately there's nowhere I could even attempt to frag it due to it's size. My alkalinity crept up but I didn't ever see a spike. I'm increasing my alkalinity slowly - still under 1300 but getting close! After I he dose tonight I should be at 1290. Calcium is 430. Alk is 9.8 with 0 phosphates and 35 nitrates.

Everything else seems happy today. Even the Cousin It is extending more than ever!

 

[billyocean]

9.8 and zero phosphates is tough on acros. And what's this about being an aqueon ambassador?

 

[Lost in the Sauce]

Love mine he grabs bugs off the rocks every now and then.

Mine will track my hand over to the cheap thermometer with a magnet on it, knowing there was a bunch of isopods hiding in there. I'm a huge fan of springari.

 

[Lost in the Sauce]

No phos will do crazy things. Your nem will likely start showing it soon. They don't like that either.

I doubt they'll pick me. I signed up so we'll see! I asked to Ambassador the ReefReady tanks...

I know. I'm trying to bring my alk down and feeding Reef Roids to bring the phosphates to detectable levels.

Agree dose some pros or even reef roids or you may summon the evil dino

I've been feeding Reef Roids frequently.

Take the alk and nitrates down to 8 and 10ppm you will see lot of diff with phosphates at 0 rather than bumping up phosphates which leads to other issues in future.happy reefing

Yep! I'm trying.

So I just won these in a Reefmas giveaway on Facebook.

REFUGE RINGS: Porous Glass Biomedia

Maximum surface area with an open interior core. This media consists of sintered glass with extremely small pores, perfect for beneficial bacteria and picoplankton. As the pore network is interconnected (open pores), bacteria and water can easily migrate throughout the media to fully populate...
