I'm assuming he nipped a bunch, cause in the 5 years I had him the only thing with PE during the day was the birdsbest and anything that went on a frag rack. If you have SPS and like PE, don't get a flame. I regret getting a flame angel. 1 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Two of the damsels are beating up the other. The victim is hiding behind the net i put in the tank near the top with a rock in it to give it a place to hide. Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 The bullied fish was so scared he hid in the top corner of the tank and I literally scooped him up with my hand. He's currently in the sump. I'm debating on setting up and plumbing in a 10G to give him his own safe haven.... Alk is now down to 9.8dKH which means the tank consumed ~4dkH in 5 days. calcium and mag aren't even moving at all. Quote Link to comment

I'm not sure I'll be able to get back there to spray paint but a roller/brush shouldn't be to bad. 1 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 SPS frag is doing well. I'm hoping is a tort not a tenuis. Little talbot damsel haven in the sump is kinda cool. He's got a small PVC T fitting surrounded by rock and some LED lighting. He seems very happy not getting mauled to death. 1 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 Alk is stable at 9.5-9.6. Over the last 4 days. Doser has been on for 3 days now. Calcium on the other hand has been bouncing around. I tested 4 days ago and it was 385, tested two days later 410, tested just now and it was 380 again. Urgg. 1 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Hmmm, that's a huge swing for calcium that fast. Any chance the 410 was just testing variance? Btw I have red hot setosa and cali tort frags if you want some. Quote Link to comment

I'll test again tomorrow but I'm sure it'll be around 385-390. I'd love some! How much do I owe yah? 1 Quote Link to comment

Just pay for shipping and you can send me something else back someday when the tank is doing better. #reefershelpingreefers PM me and we'll get it set up. 1 Quote Link to comment

You da best. Cleaned out the sump. Took a credit card to the walls, vinegar bathed the circulation pump and skimmer, and added a pump to the Talbot haven section. Looks dang good right now. 1 Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Currently painting the back of my tank black. It would have been way easier to do when it was empty and not in a corner. 3 Quote Link to comment

kimberbee Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Would you want a piece of undata? It's a little distressed right now, but it's like bred-slice-sized and I don't know what to do with it, so I could definitely spare a 1/2 inch piece. I'll also probably be getting rid of my magrock shelf, which has idaho grape and spongodes stuck on it, but that would be $50. I forget how long you said you'd be around. Quote Link to comment

I added a lot of coral since I've been home and I don't want my consumption going up some crazy amount right before I'm about to leave. thanks though. 1 Quote Link to comment
