125 - Took Forever But Here It is!

[Miami Reef]

Yep! I'm an old man all over again!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Thanks everyone! I'm not actually old (sorta). 43 today so still immature! Wait, I meant young at heart. Yeah, that's totally what I meant to say, young at heart.


Anyway, it's been a while so here's some tests:

Alk: 8.7 (right where I wanted but not what I was expecting for sure with the SPS dying)
PO4: 0.14 (right where I wanted and expected it to be)
NO3: 49.3 (That's down from flashing 75+. Vinegar is finally starting to show some progress!)

I'll grab a magnesium and calcium test here in a bit. But first, in honor of my birthday:

Because you can't have a birthday without... @Reeflix please cover your ears for this...

You can't have a birthday without there first having been some baby making happening - here's my Trochus making babies:

My Mel and Leuco are very much enjoying the eggs for breakfast.

ETA: I totally forgot to put the nitrate results in there...

Perfect age! Old enough to know what you want, young enough to still do it.

How long have you been dosing vinegar? That’s amazing progress!

How long have you been dosing vinegar? That’s amazing progress!

I've been dosing vinegar for about 2 months. I started at 10 ml daily spread out over 10 1ml doses, then upped it to 20 ml in 10 2ml doses about a month ago. Last week I bumped it to 30 ml. Kinda makes me wonder though if that could be why my SPS are fading and dying...

Probably not the cause, but you can always stop to see.

I used to wonder why my SPS were fading and dying. It turns out it was because I had AEFW. I don’t have that issue ever since I went fallow.

Happy birthday!

I missed @reefloungecoral’s video. Did you win a gem tang for your birthday?!

 

[Mschmidt]

Did we have to be live for it?

My son entered for me too. His name was the last one drawn!

He messaged them... I hope he really won! He has wanted a gem for a while and it's the only interest he has shown in the tank!

I didn't enter. I wanted one of the Café people to win!

That's awesome! That'd be so cool.

That'd be amazing if he won! Congrats!

So happy for the kiddo. What a way to get him into the hobby. Is he going to get his own tank

Sadly no... off to college in the fall so he has no interest.

I'm going with AEFW... No fun, oh well.

Wait. You have it? Did you see them come out in a dip?
