Maggie's Mixed Reef Build V3, now a 75!

AI prime at 20% is hard for my phone to photograph, even with filters.

So it's attached itself to a small rock in this orientation, is that ok? I can probably dig down the rock a little to position it more upward.

They can move and upright themselves. Nothing as bad as anemones.

Photos and a video. All tissue looks intact. All light spots on the bottom are glue chunks. I think it looked weird on earlier photos since it's only getting light on one side and I'm photographing getting the shaded side so the light peeps through some of the bottom glue looking like RTN. It's added that green since I've had it. It was very pale on arrival, like the backside on the second and third pics.

Testing, testing, 123

Also got my ICP results yesterday. Nothing serious stood out so the few losses I've had were apparently random.

I do see nitrate being low a continuous trend, I'm trying to raise it naturally and with small doses.

Just don't let them get to 0 else you may catch the heebie jeebies.
Yeah, I'm watching it. Been low dosing nitrate and feeding heavy with an auto feeder 4x plus spot feeding corals. Still hovering between 1ppm and 2.5ppm

Also I'm testing every couple days to be on top of params considering the $$ I've put into corals lately...

Alk - 8.4
Nitrate - 1ppm. Need to keep dosing. Currently adding 10ml daily.
Phos - 0.19
Calcium - 450
Mag - 1230. Been dosing a little here and there since 2 gonis were looking crappy.
