I am going to try your 1 hour refugium lighting schedule. Cyano is receding, gha started growing and nutrients are dropping again. Dont want to resurrect those dinosaurs!

How is that working.

So a little hiccup in the 90g. The kt had flukes. On Tuesday dossed prozipro total water volume I guess is 75. I dosed to 70g. Wrasses don't do well with medications. That's why I dosed tank volume 70 just to be safe.

Yesterday I had my son, Stefan, check on the kt. He stated, it looked good and was out and about. When I came home it looked good and was eating frozen and algae. Excited to say the least. Called the lfs and found out they forgot to dose the prozipro. Apologized manager said a few choice words, all is good.

Edit the lfs manager said a few choice words.

A little agresion. The kole tang did not like the ornate leopard. It's settled down and the wrasse is now out of the sand. Everybody is out swimming and getting along. The wrasse is still worried about the kt

I must not be getting push notifications from R2R anymore. So far so good. I did an initial dose of kno3 and TSP to get the nutrients back up and they have actually raised a little. I will start adding 15 minutes to the fuge light a week until it holds steady.

First water change since dino. We will see. Everything looks nice and stable except my matalic green toadstool leather. It really hasn't opened since tank transfer

Nope is shrunk. I have seen some green polyps poking out but never more than that. It's been sulking. It will snap out of it. I just moved it to a touch more flow and a little higher in the tank

I took off the refugium and moved it to the 55. @Erin O. The aqua clear was moved with water in it. I plugged it in and connected all the tubing. It started up and running perfectly. I have no doubt it will function properly after power outage.

sfin52 · Mar 10, 2020

I've been working with the flow. I am closer to getting it right. I just turned off a power head. Any further adjustments will have to wait till I see the effects of this.

New tank new scape flow has drastically changed. Slow and steady

I just saw this! I'm not getting notifications for your thread for some reason. Thank you for the reassurance
