Wrasses are fine but showing some aggression towards each other now that they are getting larger. Not sure how serious it is. They both ate mysis yesterday, when feeding though.

Baby derasa is growing ok. Other two are ok but not sure which two I took. . They never seemed to extend as much as mine, so thought perhaps they were still irritated and the other pair. However last week I seen why, as Mr. foxface had his snout right in the two of them. Seen that a couple of times now.

Considering, they are still doing ok though. Seems no one bothers the crocea,s & maxima, as they are all GREAT. I gave you my blue crocea back and just kept the two derasa,s. Yes, I have the hydro,s but you still have some frags.

Your two acros are doing great. The large one is growing like craze. Mushrooms & zoos all growing well. The leather coral is trying to grow but those dufus clowns wont leave it alone.

Cleaned and refilled the phosphate media yesterday. Added several more spoons of kalk to the reactor also. My ca test measures ca @ 390ppm, yours @ 420ppm. Both alk. kits measured 7.5 dkh. Added a bit more buffer and new kalk should touch up both levels. Also changed another 5g water.

Have yet to order the impellars. Did talk with Jeff about them though. Ordering two of them, one each.

Going back in a day or so to check on the changes I made and will take a couple pics for you.

Hi Ben. Mike is fine. He has no internet capability out in the boonies where he is. He said to tell everyone, he has about another week or so left and then should be heading out. Or at least to where he can communicate. Guess he would just like to read and post on Canreef.
