Time for an update. Decided nitrates are just too high. Been trying nopox again but this time, using 10 ml, not 6. Still no results so am adding vinegar dosing, but very slow, like 2 ml and upping it every day or every other day. Will test nitrates daily to keep an eye. When it gets down, will stop the nopox or the vinegar. Down to 40 today. From 160 2 days ago Will test po4 again as well. Had to add some phos guard. Back to rinsing frozen foods. Will have to decide whether to use vinegar or make my own nopox using vinegar and vodka. Don't want cyano with vodka though.
Lost one of the dispar anthias. no idea how or where it went. Cuc took care of it I guess. Need to add more fish. Will order 2 more bangaiis to go with the one I have. Might order 3 for the 125. I should be able to QT 5 in my 37 gal qt tank. Need some more corals as well! Everything is going into the 125 gal.
One reason I'm dosing is my sedosa is bleaching from the base. Worried the super high nitrates getting to it. The reverse sunset also not looking good. Green is turning brown but there are still lots of polyps. Goal is to get nitrates 10-20. Then maybe consistantly aim for 10.
I have 2 royal grammas in qt. Debating putting both in the 125 or one in each tank.
The big polyp paly is taking over the smaller palys. At some point will have to remove that rock and stick in the other tank. Hubby loves those palys. Me, not so much. To do this will mean taking and moving several rocks. The rock the corals are on is two cemented together. I'm hoping it's not three!
Okay, not a lot to catch up here. Need to get some new and exciting stuff in here!
