I’ve just started playing - my daughter convinced me. Add me as a friend: 2645 3614 5836Hello friends,
For those of you who play Pokémon go depending the time zone you get to get the legendary zap something. As some of my friends want me to go, it will be the first time I have been to more than one gym in a day, or hour for that sake. But good luck in finding the special one(which ever that is). Apparently it’s a big thing here in Boise

I believe Reefers have a natural aversion to canister filters. If you only run carbon in it, call it a reactor. That is what reefers call canister filters with only carbon or GFO in it.
Automation can be your friend! Have you looked into getting a GHL Profilux or Neptune Apex controller?
so sad he goes into my coral cemetery in my garden). The third is trying to hang on but may have to stick him in a bucket and take him to the lfs and frag him above the tissue loss. All other corals seem to be just fine and wow my skimmer is producing some kind of funky gunk so gives me the creeps yuck. 
Hello dear friends,
So finally home again from work and have to go back in 12 hours Urgh. But first thing, how is everyone one and for those who have super hot temps please please hydrate and (NO SODA guys and girls) it’s soooooo bad when it is hot out. Lots of water and gosh just carry some cold water with you. So many people coming where the heat has just cooked them.
So moving on lol, well after three days of working with my tank as much as possible updates. So the Red Sea no3 stuff well it works and pretty darn fast. I’m certain you have to do it daily but decrease it as you go. My nitrates which stuck between 20-30 ppm forever for some reason. Even with water changes between 20-40 gallons a week no change. So after running this for four days and only three doses my nitrates are between 5-10 which I don’t want much lower. They also basically wiped my phosphates to zero, or darn close. Not like they were high anyway but they really are not now.
So the interesting part, I’m sure my sps are still mad, some have gone back to normal and some are still upset at me. Some my sps like my pink lemonade went from the nice pink and green to some green and red lol. Hope she turns back. My pc rainbow lost some of its green and yellow but it’s kinda coming back. I’m terms of the three sps the second one finally gave way today
But my fishies are super happy and I will have to find another Oregon tort. So if anyone knows somebody who would frag me a one inch piece I’m forever in debt. It’s very hard to find here in Boise. I have also noticed the cynao shows up in very small amounts and then is gone the next day or two. Then here and there then gone, pretty sure I don’t need chemi clean but still have lights down to 8 hours now and been switch flow at nights on food breaks.
It’s so depressing on how fast coral and just go south. I have now dedicated parts of my day where I go home and check my tank. I am still thinking of an ato and possibly hiring my lfs to do maintenance on it. They did offer me a darn good deal and yes I was very very picky. I did say that one of my conditions is that if they do something to my tank that causes harm to it and or it kills something they will replace what they ruined. I have worked too hard on this and just honestly tired of well honest mistakes ruining it, but I don’t want to take chances any more.
Oh and for those who know me I am now on the second movie of back to the future. I’m curious is the character Biff always kinda lacking in maturity. He is a terrible driver and seems to be a magnet for cow manure. So glad I was born with out that Genic trait.
It is shark week! ;WootWas the little on up early

Automation can make many things better! You need to spend some money to do it, but it can make your life much easier. A good controller with automatic doser and some add-ons will run you in the $1500 to $2k range. Another thing you could use is a skimmate locker with automatic skimmer neck wiper. Probably set you back another $600 or so, but you could only deal with your skimmer once every few weeks that way. Lots of options.Wow hello friends
Gosh I have been so busy where has the week gone, wait I know I was at work all darn week. Lol sheesh.
So working on my 240 it has at least stabilized which is good and I’m not losing coral lol anymore. So sadly I lost the two and the third is hanging on it’s putting up a fight that’s for sure. Didn’t test my water today but last time I did my parameters were looking nice. Some of my sps did lose their colors but in time I think they will come back. Two have already started the pc rainbow and my pink lemonade is starting. A lot of my other sps didn’t lose the color at all (so lucky) my mars planet (is that the name of red mars planet) anyway was bright red and now its kinda red kinda brown but very alive lol.
The tiny bit of cyano can’t make up its mind, one day I have the same tiny spot with it, and the next day nothing. Then if I turn my lights back to normal it comes back, maybe a good month of acclimation would do everything good. I definitely went to re configure my sump tank. When ever my skimmer goes nuts well if I don’t catch it I’m time all the nasties spill over and go back into the tank. That can’t be good for nitrates.
I have thought very strongly of automaton and or just hiring my lfs to do basic things for me. I still enjoy doing things with my tank but good grief I need 72 hour days lol. The 425 meh I’m gonna have to do automation and definitely hire more help. Now that i am home more, I can monitor my tank more. But unless I come home on food breaks and what not it would go 24 hours w out a peep. Plus with it soooo hot I’m evaporating water like crazy. Today I topped off with r/o and it was almost five gallons. I can’t imagine what the 425 will be like. I keep my house at 70 so it’s not super cold or warm.
But hope all my dear friends are here and I am back to my normal schedule next week yay so I can post more yay. Maybe we can talk about favorite cereal or what people make for dinner when they are suoer lazy or tired to cook.
