Coral in the Capitol

A little video I shot today... I need to work on my video game

ccurnick · Mar 10, 2019

Some photos I took of some recent additions... I had an alk swing that ticked off a lot of corals so not all of them are looking their best at the moment... Worst thing is that it happened right after getting quite a few high end frags.

It’s still alive, and started to show some PE again yesterday. I think it is gunna pull through. I’m so angry at myself for letting that happen.

I’m away from my tank for two weeks while on a business trip. Let’s see how my nerves handle this.

Being away from my tank for two weeks is rough, but it seems like everything is doing just fine, some of the struggling corals from my alk swing recovered (homewrecker!!), while it looks like others have not.

Did an ICP testing of my tank water:

My nutrients are super low, and when I sent it in, I cut my GFO and doubled the amount that I am feeding, hopefully this will bring some color and life back into my tank.

Back home after two weeks, my tank actually looks great and the only loss was a coral that fell behind the rocks, but it might be able to recover....

The corals that were struggling from the Alk swing seem to have made a strong comeback.

I’m still having an issue with nutrients being too low, so for now I am not going to run my filter roller, and see if that helps at all. With doubling my feeding my nitrates are still 0, and will also increase my acropower dosage. Will cut down my AWC to .5 gallons a day as well.

Those ICP tests are really something. That reminds me to send one myself soon.
Good to hear everything is doing well.

Been a while, not too much has changed as I have been gone a lot. But I did get a new camera (Sony a7riii), but Im still learning how to use it.

Wow, great pictures and your clown fish look gorgeous.
I love the white lines they have all around.

Sad day to be a blenny

Janci · Apr 26, 2019

That is strange.
I believe there must have been something wrong with the blenny as healthy ones should be able to get out of a BTA when stung.
Sorry for the loss.

I agree, but the fish was also pretty dumb at times... He LOVED to hang out inside my vortechs, and sat right above my torches all the time. I would be surprised if he swam right into the 'nems mouth.

Haha, my blenny loves vortechs and other pumps as well.
Seems like as soon as you shut them down, he takes the opportunity to get some fresh algae there as during operation he cannot.
Maybe not dumb, just opportunistic.
