After running water tests this morning. I am overly happy. Alk and magnesium is getting consumed. As suspected, without my foxface. nitrates are between 0-2. Last tests were 2 weeks ago. Only change is the magnesium and the alk. I am not sure why calcium is not going down. Rather odd.... Dosing soda ash, only used a half a teaspoon, will test alk to make sure it doesn't go up too high. Aiming for 8.0 for today. Will increase .02 per day if I can.
Salinity = 1.026
red sea tests
alk = 7.8
calcium =480
magnesium = 1400
salisfert
ph = 8.0-8.15
nitrate 0-2
seachem
phosphate under .05

Last update for the week, maybe..
So, I don't know what species it is, but it looks pink and mint green with pink-red-brownish polyps. Also, I know color doesn't mean species... I'm not that dumb.
The slimer Is about 1" now.
The sponge is under the hammer...
pavona is nearly 4" across.
Nothing takes better pictures of the bta than the dslr camera. I need new blades for my flipper, they wont remove algae well anymore.
I love this goniopora. I don't care if it is green.
Hand feeding my fish. I am sure everyone does.

...so there's these two fish in a tank and one looks at the other and asks, "Do you even know how to drive this thing?"it is, isn't it? I mean it one of these...
Old but good, at least for my sense of humor!
Though title changes are confusing at first, I also like your new title!

So, these little things keep getting bigger. When I first saw them, they were the size of a pin head. Now under the size of half a dime. They shrivel up like mushrooms. Still too small to make out much detail, except the one on the right. It has a mouth....

This was originally a gold clove colony rock. I got it for really cheap. My emperor devoured all the cloves. I didnt think anything was on it. I used it as a frag holder after everything was dead.... They do look like shrooms though.
Tried to get in closer for details.
too good to pass up.

yup, you aren't keeping one with that situation. I think my fish are at a comfortable balance. There is no aggression as of now. Who is to say how things will go when the scopas hits 3 more inches. Powder blue was great until he got to around 5". He became a son of a beached whale.
