Torch fine.

But banana v2 (yellow coris) jumped. 4th time. This time he's jerky.

Lid was on , Brit was home, I wasn't for once.

Womp. Sad. Happens. Meh.
Sorry bud. I hate seeing jumpers. I had 3 in 1 week with a lid.

4 weeks of no testing....

All steady
Alk 9.5
P 0.06
N 22
Mg 1500+, wondering if that much calcium affects others. Alk stayed the same didn't test mag.


Calcium.... 328 eek, happy to report a 3 day boost. Back on the saddle.

Combination of water changes and 2 part dosing.

Very weird.... Never thought I would put too much flow on an acro. Perhaps its the wrong kind of flow? But I picked up a used MP60 a couple of weeks ago.


This is stress only on side directly infront of the MP60 , on 3 different acros. (including Steveopora, which i thought was indestructible)

Circling how far away these are... 6 ft tank.

Lending more to the story....

Recently turned off the 5 min 100% clean out. After the skin was clearly blown off the acro.

Either going to leave the position and let the corals grow around the flow or move the MP60 to not be direct.

Thinking on it. Id rather leave it.

Maybe this was somewhere else in the post, I'm curious. Is this a rimless glass tank? 72"LX30"WX18"T?

Where did you add bracing? Was alot of bracing needed? How is the tank doing today? Any leaks since the build?

Sorry for the questions, I'm thinking of doing something similar and you seem to be the perfect person who's brain to pick about this.

I wouldn't pick too deep.
