Well strangely enough my male Rhomboid Wrasse has gone AWOL .. not really sure what happened to him but it isnt looking good at this point. Obviously, his girlfriend annoyed him to death.. Poor guy!

Everything else has been going pretty good, I have been keeping up with weekly 15 gallon waterchanges thanks to one of those handy 'hook up to your sink' syphons. NO MORE BUCKETS!
Although I was having a little trouble with Alk swings for a bit there and have come to the realization that 15 gallon waterchanges w/ H2Ocean salt does not keep my Alk above 8 for a week.. Lost a mini-colony and a couple frags.. Thus I set up my Marine Magic doser to keep things in check. Alk is now steady at 8.5 dKH where before, it would drop as low as 6 dKH in a week. Might try out the Fluval salt here soon.

Parameters as of today:
Temp: 79.2F (APEX)
Salinity: 1.025 (Refrac)
Calcium: 410ppm (Sailfert)
Alk: 8.5 dKH (ELOS)
Mag: 1310ppm (Sailfert)
NO3: ~2ppm
PO4: 0.00 (Hanna)

Every second water change I have been dosing Prodibio BioDigest (1vial) and BioPtim (3vials). I have not yet dosed ReefBooster but am planning to do so next week.
I am also starting to dabble into using a couple Zeovit products; Coral Vitalizer, Pohl's Xtra, and Amino Acid Concentrate, so we will see how that goes!
