So we are in week 9 and things are going well. Parameters are :
pH 8.2-8.3 (morning to evening)
Sal 1.025
Nitrates 25-30
PO .1
Alk 7.3
Ca 420-460
Have started adding corals, Zenia, GSP, Zoanthids, Para-Zoanthids, Montipora, Pocillopora,Stylocoeniella, Porites and Stylophora. All are doing well with the exception of the Porites which is struggling. The Stylocoeniella shocked a little but has started recovering and is showing full polyp extension.
Harvesting more macro from the refugium each week and slowly increasing the Kalk drip. No sign of the octopus in over 2 weeks, though I still nab 1-2 gorilla crabs each week and we have at least one mantis. But NO algae growth in the display (oversized CUC) and the golden algae and diatoms are minimal and have decreased substantially in the last 2 weeks.
Xoanthids, Zenia, GSP and Parazoanthus are budding and spreading off the plugs.
