Holy bleeping maintenance today! I took out the frag rack on the frag tank and pressure washed it. Gha was getting a little out of control. I was hoping it sorted itself out but alas that was not the case.

The elegance is starting to push 10" wide. Unfortunately i think I am loosing my enchinata.

I have some serious housekeeping to do on the 40g but the frag tank is looking great. Also the enchinata is super happy and the burnt tips are regrowing. Not sure exactly why there was an issue but I beleive it to be a drop in no3.

Also if you want to scoop up some frags I have a thread. https://www.reef2reef.com/index.php?threads/634617/

Still have housekeeping to do on the 40g. But the enchiata looks like it will make it.

Finally cleaned the glass on the 40g. Man it's almost like a brand new tank! LOL.

Had a gnarly dino scare! Went to the each for the weekend, came back and didn't notice anything on Sunday when we came home. Didn't do anything to the tank but feed on Monday and boom Tuesday lights on when I come home from work dinos everywhere. I picked up another 9w UV sterilizer with the corkscrew chamber for more UV contactand changed the bulb in my current 9w uv sterilizer. Did religious siphoning and in three days basically they were managed!. It is almost two weeks later and other than the birdsnests being angry with some polyp bailout everything is happy!

Now Some Pictures.! I have been busy lately so I haven't done much with this thread. Levels are all normal and I bumped the dkh up to 8.6.

Dkh is back down to 7. Highest I am going is 7.5 everything is happier that way. Also found out that my no3 reagents went bad. Was getting a reading of 4-10ppm when it was 32ppm. So many angry sps. Well they were . All better now. Attached is an acan eating a zoa. Tried to stop it but didnt work.
