One step forwards two steps back...aka dialing in reactors is a PITA!
Anyways, the tank is looking a little bit better, but I'm still seeing some impact from that stupidly high Ca reading on April 24th of 770ppm. As of tonight its 575ppm, better, but definitely not in line. DkH, my arch nemesis, is low again, around 5.5. It needs a kick in the pants, but I'm hesitant to do anything until the Ca is lower. I might just try to bump it a little to about 7 with Baking Soda, since both reactors are still off until we can dial them back in again. My new frags are still adjusting, but I'm hoping for big things from them. No pressure.

My tank and I are back in the disagreement phase of things. I want one thing, it does another.
The crappy - my foxface died, and I am heartbroken about it. - about 80% of my new and existing frags RTNed due to sand - My rock is covered in sand because of the sandsifting goby - One of my clams jumped from its perch, and now I'm concerned that it will not get enough light in its new location. - I need to turn on the dehumidifyer The not so crappy - 30g water change done yesterday with the DD Salt - Added on two reactors, one of carbon media, and one of nitrate absorbing media - Moved the brown cap, and did some re-arranging - Ponape birdsnest survived - The sand looks nicer The still to do: - Buy new MH bulbs - Clean the reflectors and existing bulbs - More WCs - Fix/dial back in the reactors - Have a heart to heart with the tank - Win the lotto

Some photos to brighten this page up.
This is the corner in which the bristletooth tang likes to do its business. It goes here and only here....  How a large portion of my rock looks now that the goby has done its job  Old additions with some new growth   What the skimmer pulled out recently...I called dibs on not emptying that sucker  Recently re-located caps. The brown one has a blanched part because of the sand that settled on it, so it found a new home.   Some of the remaining frags  The Showboat

Love how you've mounted the green cap...that'll look deadly as it grows....thought you were getting rid of the xenia though?

There's something weird going on with your SPS. They are different colours and there are these weird little tentacles coming out of them.
