10% water change complete
Removed Phosminus
Left Carbon in
PH 7.74 (it drops as the lights have gone down)
Alk 8.6
N03 1.5ppm

Rocks are looking fuzzy, but I’m going to trust the process.

Hold it right there just get that Alk a little low. Wait for few days without dosing any NP Pro and Pro bio s.

Alk 8.5 (down a little)

Dosed 2 drops of Pro Bio s and NP Pro along with 3 drops each of coral E V.

Howz the tank looking?

 

[TigerReefer]

It’s looking better. I did notice I didn’t have to clean the glass today as there was no film on it.

One of my acros, a fox flame, is getting whiter all other corals look fine.

 

[Anirban]

Good, keep it like that.

Wednesday update

Ph 7.86
Alk 8.3
N03 1.5 ish
P04 o

Something concerning happened today. My Naso Tang is no where to be found. Didn’t jump no sign of a body anywhere in the tank. I would’ve thought if he would’ve died and the cuc got him I would’ve had higher N04 or P04. So weird.

Did notice more brownish algae when I got home from work.

Any ideas?

 

[Anirban]

How big it was? Its weird that it just disappeared or the clean up crew cleaned it up overnight. Keep looking for it. We dont want it to die in there. No change as far dosing goes.

 

[TigerReefer]

He was about 3 inches.

Just weird he vanished.

 

[Anirban]

Hmmm....so not that small. Look under the rocks.

 

[TigerReefer]

double post

 

[TigerReefer]

Ok found it under a rock but she’s not looking to good.

Thought?

 

[Anirban]

He looks sick....I am not a fish expert but he doesn't look good. He is stressed. Ask in fish disease forum.

Thursday update

Ph 7.83
Alk 8.1
Cal 444
N04 1.5
P04 .01ppm

Dosed 3 drops of Coral B tonight. I haven’t dosed N04 in two days and it’s staying stable at 1.5. Again darker than 1 but lighter than 2.

Alk is dropping.

When would I star dosing 123?

Seems like we are on the right track.

 

[TigerReefer]

Oh yeah my Naso didn’t make it
