Are they not extending at all? I need to check all the params again but I think the browning was starting to turn into bleaching.. I turned down the light quite a bit and it's starting to look better. 😊 1 Quote Link to comment

FISHnChix Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Man does anyone else still test?? What a pain in the ass. I have only been testing alk weekly so when you sit down and commit to doing all the testing it takes FOREVER!! 😟 .. but it does kinda make me feel like bill nye the science guy so that's a bonus 😎 Good news is the doser is dialed in been sitting at 7.6 alk for over a month now😊... since I did so many wc to get back on track a my nitrates and phos are too low but they should come back up since I'm back to my smaller water changes .. Alk. 7.6 Ca 430 Mg 1300 Nitrates between 2-5 Phos .01 Oh and since I was actually awake this weekend when the lights went off I snapped a photo of a hammer coral I bought with one head about 2 years ago. Little guy has 20ish heads now😎🤙 3 1 Quote Link to comment

Yea I have to do something regardless, but I'm going to go through the wall with it , run it down the wall low an into the clean out.. sucks but it's an easy option and on the side of the house. Hopefully painted it wont look bad.. here is what my lazy ass did to get water to my sink and rodi station in the garage . Hopefully painted it wont look too bad Hahahaha Quote Link to comment

It might be the Master Torch. Holy grail has the greyish tips that photograph as blue under most tanks. Similar to Aussie golds. I'll snap a pic for comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment
