About to head out of town for a week, completing all my reef check list items. Always a bit nerve wracking, but i think I've got things down pretty good at this point. Fingers crossed!
Back from vacation and things are mostly as I left them. A few corals knocked over, and my auto-feeder definitely over fed the tank a bit, but no major issues!
My Tunze flipper has been disappointing me lately, not able to scrape away some extra stubborn green algae (maybe green coralline algae?). Going to try an Algaefree Great White, if that can't do it I'm not sure anything will be able to.
Did some more trimming of the green nephthea and moved the pink nephthea to a lower PAR area, doesn't seem to like higher light. Featuring the new jellybean chalice and my male anthias' pop-eye.
N: 15.4 (Dropped vinegar dosing to 125 ml per day as of the last reading)
P: 0.11
As you saw by my last post, my male anthias had started to develop pop-eye, and was not charging/chasing the others for a few days.
Well the largest female took advantage of the situation to start changing male to usurp power!
It also started going after the male with pop-eye, and he's not really able to defend himself from one side. I managed to catch him and move him to my QT tank, which if you've ever tried to catch an anthias in a display you know how exhausted it already was to be catchable.
I plan on rehoming him once the pop eye recovers. First anthias aggression related issue in two years! Let's see how the new king of the school does.
