4am update says processing in Tampa, no idea if that's true since I now know that 95% of UPS tracking is a LIE

dont forget to figure daily consumption once you get to where you want it. Consumption now and consumption when everything is back happy again will be different.Tank is looking good since the w/c yesterday. That brought my alk down a little more, about .5 dkh. I'll test after my massage to see where we're sitting then. Trying to figure out my daily decline now that I'm not dosing it until it gets to a respectable spot again.
That's where I was w/ the stunner. That thing sucked it down. Yeah, plan is to get it back where I want it, start dosing what's needed to keep it there, and continue testing/tweaking daily or every other day for a bit as I figure out what it needs to sit at that point.dont forget to figure daily consumption once you get to where you want it.

On a side note, I am also figuring my consumption again on the 180. going back to kalk drip along with dosing. Sadly, I have to test every 4 hours, so had to get up last night a few times to do it. I consume a ton of alk, and cannot do a 24 hour measure. I would go from 9 to 6 lol.
I could only imagine me adding a stunner to the tank lol. Between the 12" clam, a no name acro colony and the 2 steve-a-pora colonies, I would be dumping a gallon of alk in a day lol. was at just 200 ml of alk a day with 2 part alone. I thought consumption would go down quite a bit as I got rid of a ton of hammer/frogs, but it did not. I guess the bare spots decided to grow coralinne in mass and the other hammers/frogs decided to uptake more, as they had more room to expand lol.That's where I was w/ the stunner.

Then start over as I move everything to the smaller tank in the interim.
Hahahahaha maaaaybe… this was before he started working for them. I no longer have to call customer service. That department is still garbage.Same one your hubby works at?
If one of those acros was a Steve-A-Pora, I can hook you up soon. About time to frag it for the 6th time this year.Mystery box arrived

Once I got through dipping and inspecting there's 1 stick I tossed as a total loss, everyone else went into the tank.
Stick 2 might be a loss as well, slight color on the other side

How big of a spot you got? I can hook ya up.I was informed that yes, it was in fact steve-a-pora
If we wait a year, a big spot.How big of a spot you got? I can hook ya up.
How big now? In a year, I can grow you a basketball lol. This was 3” 2 arm nub and grew to this in 6 months lol.If we wait a year, a big spot.
Would have to be a smaller frag now, about to be temporarily downsizing to the 24x24x24 cube until the move happens. I have a lot of chunky leathers that are going to take up most of the space in the meantime. (They'll be staying in the cube after the move & the bigger tank is set back up though)How big now?
