I added a dolphin, it's all good.

I actually did nothing but turned up flow, and did a 50% water change for the algae issue. Cyano got hit with chemiclean.

Supposed to be there March 3rd, but Elise can't travel now. We had to defer trip to end of September.

But isn't that why there was algae and cyano in the first place? Cleaning doesn't fix the root cause. Ok, I'm just kidding.

How did my thread fall to page two?? Sheesh, gotta keep up on this. All going well (lies) and getting bored (riiight).

So, day off, wife is doing 16hr shift, got a 5yo helper, figure I'll play with the tank.
List for the day

Change out bulbs to brand new brighter bulbs.
50% water change
Clean skimmer
Add 15# of new sand
Attempt #7 of removing dead fish
Add new carbon
Add some fozdown
Add some expired zeo potions

What could possibly go wrong here?? lol

ETA: Gotta get a refill on CO2.

New week, will post a pic today when lights come on. Tested water today, all good.

Alk - 10.5 dKh
Ca - 410ppm
NO3 - < 1.0ppm
PO4 - 0.43ppm

Alright, PO4 maybe not so good, but the result of 3 dead anthias that couldn't get removed. 50% water change today should help that.
