Just got back from Mexico after 9 days, and the fish and corals (except 1 frag) are all good. Parameters all stayed stable, and my dosing did not need adjusting. Glass needed a good cleaning. Only the upstairs tank had an auto feeder going, so the fish were all hungry and happy to see me.
Only casualty (maybe) is a Hawkins Echinata frag (yeah, had to be that one) that got knocked down and buried in the sand. I hadn't epoxied that one down because I was planning to move it later. I suspect one of my hermit crabs is to blame. Then my goby proceeded to bury it. I moved it to my frag rack for now and will see if it comes back to life. Looks a little green now, and no sign of polyp extension.
I have a Foscam camera and my Apex controller set up so I could watch things remotely. Was always good to see some fish swimming around. I did get a little anxious when I saw the weather reports last week with that strong Arctic Outflow. Doesn't take much to get a power outage in my area of Langley. But happily it didn't happen.
But sure is cold coming back home, after laying around the beach there, snorkeling, etc....
