Cade Chaos Grimoire

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.

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.

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.

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.

Then start over as I move everything to the smaller tank in the interim.

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.

Going back to kalk is a last stop before throwing the CaRX back online. I really do not want to deal with it, so will try kalk via a drip to see if I can not affect PH too much.
 
Dirty brownies made. (Brownies with mini pb cups & crushed Oreos)

Consult went well, no bingo! Waiting on health insurance approval & to find out what the copay would be before we set an official date.

Still waiting on my mystery box :rolleyes:

Alk didn't drop at all from w/c yesterday to this afternoon - I'm not setting it back up on doser until we sort ourselves out.

Back to my book in the meantime.
 
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

Some green in the center of this guy & the one to the left is pale but still has coloration

Those yellow heads were open in the soup bag :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: since I took that photo almost all of the yellow are open, and heads are open on two of the three other species on the slab.

The whole goal of this adventure

A couple little chips came off, I scattered them in the rockwork & tossed some tiny fragments in the micro, we'll see what happens.

Bonus, Frank what's the rock???

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.

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)
 
Good morning, headed to work and then out of town for the next week. Not sure how active I'll be.

Update on the delivery from yesterday, all of the death garden woke up with the lights.

Hammer left head woke up with the lights, right head still ehhhh but no bailout yet.

Nothing looks more stressed than it did yesterday.

Urchin and dusky teamwork knocked the ridge from yesterday's placement, I put it somewhere else.
 
Few days into vacation, it's been nice - my store isn't blowing up my phone at all & barely any other stores have reached out to me for a change.

I finished 2 books.

Did some adventuring, got a nice ammonite fossil to add to my collection.

Today will be a full beach day, prepping a pitcher of rum punch to take down with us.

Missing my dog & my tank. This is all I get to see - camera isn't close enough
