Carmen, I'm just givin' ya the gears! ![]() SPS, although frustrating at times, are very rewarding corals as they grow so fast when conditions are right. "The trick is keeping them happy".

![]() Grrr......so I've been distracted from the tank these days. I just can't spend as much time as I would like on things. And this morning I came down to a cloudy tank..... new canary wrasse has been MIA and so I believe that may be contributing to my issues today. Skimmer was semi-full last night but I just didn't get to emptying it and it over-foamed all into the sump (touchy skimmer...I think I need to empty it more regularily...) Tank is super cloudy. Will try to do that but...once again...life just has things kinda tough these days to spend quality time on the tank maintenance...Just ripped out my skimmer (which is no easy task) and gave it a thorough cleaning incase that is contributing to the overfoaming issues) And now I have to find some time today to do a water change.
For now...I need to go get a prescription for a strep-throat that has been killing me for 9 DAYS! Stupid walk-in clinic JUST got around to calling me today!!!!! And ofcourse the Dr. wouldn't give it to me when I went in 4 days ago because it "may be just viral"!!! AHHHHHH.......my throat is killing me and I hate walk-in clinics! Sorry for the vent....!!!!!!! ![]() ![]()

![]() Ahhh strep is nasty!!
![]() FWIW, my canary wrasse goes MIA very often. What happens though is that if startled, or sleeping, or even just needing a nap in the daytime, they'll swim right into the sandbed and bury themselves instantly. I've only once gotten to witness it happen, he literally just swam into the sand. There was a small "poof" of sand for about a second but once it cleared there was literally NO indication whatsoever that there was a wrasse hidden in the sand at that spot. There are many times I come down to feed the tank and he's gone to bed, he'll be the only one I can't spot, but then the next day he's out swimming again as if nothing abnormal ever happened. So, ... hopefully this is the case here too. They are potential jumpers though. I lost my first canary wrasse to jumping. I had an eggcrate cover for the tank but it apparently was no impediment to his trajectory. ![]()

![]() Ok lets see if I can get this straight.
1 the pellets take away PO4 2 take away nitrates 3 do they drop the ALk in the tank. 4 does this replace the phosban that I use. 5 do you have to soak over night to waterlog them. 6. is it cheaper to run the biopellets vs the Phosban since the phosban actually last about 5-6 days depending on how much po4 in your tank
