Yesss. I think "FTS on every page" should be part of the code of conduct here.
Also, what are you gonna do with all this free space?
Red X - nem murders happen here
Black circle- there is a blasto
Black arrow - swim through area for fish (especially Flamin Moe)

Okay as I posted on the some other page yesterday….i took this full tank shot (above) and then did this below
Glued hammers to new hammer island rock this is at light just turning on so some are still waking up - maybe 1 or 2 mad about yesterday
The above wasn’t bad. Putting the micromussa on the new rock went well enough…
Before
After
But that rock refused to go back where it belonged which lead to the whole right side being undone and redone - and of course nothing wanted to cooperate.
In the end I won.
Only one coral is super unhappy
Sensitive button scoly.
Moved it back this morning out of the are of flow since that’s definitely filaments showing

Super glue and a spot of accelerator when out of the tank. Give it a quick rinse put it back in.
Stick-n-pray (that 1. I don’t get stuck and 2. It sticks) when in the tank. Which I have determined needs a whole heck of a lot more glue.
I did some glue putty sammachies for the rocks.
If I would have had more putty I would have used it on the hammers-to-rock glue session.

So when I got home yesterday the occupants of hammer island were all cranky . With the exception of like 2. Which were the last ones to get glued so guess that makes sense…….
Between the gluing and deconstructing and reconstructing they look beat up……sigh…..well lesson learned don’t try and glue 12 hammers to one structure at once. I did have a bucket full of water that I place it in between each frag…
Almost all of them have the flesh that should be on the stem retracted. I’ve had hammers come back from this no issues. It’s just a slow process.
When I came home none of them were open but none of them were fully retracted either so this is what gives me hope. Just went and peaked in on the tank and they are all open (not as much as usual during the day but more than usual at night….which also gives me hope. Something I noticed over the years. Beat up hammers won’t open fully during the day but will open up more at night. I’m sure this is a cautionary measure by the hammer to reduce stress….if they fully retract day and night that’s when I’m concerned.

Tested dkh last night 7.8 
Would you leave me to assume my increase of like 2 mL dosing the other day didn’t do deadly squat increase my alkalinity. So I manually dosed 2.5 mL and then increased my nightly dose to 5.5 and my morning dose to 5 mL but then this morning I tested my uncle again before that morning goes at six and it tested at 7.8 again manually chose 2.5 mL and it will do another 5 mL at 6 AM I’ll check it when I get home and see where it is at.
I did Joe brief complete calcium last night. It’s 5 mL for every 20 gallons and I do for an 80 gallon tank and I just magnesium this morning since I could do an hour before my 80 doses that 5 mL were 20 gallons of magnesium. I think I’m going to order an And send that curiosity and all that. I will probably start dosing things like potassium minium depending on what my test says. I do have the powder right well strontium and the powder well potassium as well as liquid potassium. Maybe I’ll look at a water water and then maybe the other way around , who knows we’ll see this weekend
I honestly can’t remember the last time. I did a water change sometime within the last few months maybe yes definitely when I do water changes. I do 20 gallons.
I ended up ordering carbon last night. Should be here today from Amazon because I realize I was out and I need to change my carbon since I wanted carbon last night and did the best I could with the carbon I had to get out printed in really, really hot water until it was all gunky a dead buildup on it was gone, and then soaked it in our water for like an hour and dump that out and then back in the back in the tank this afternoon I will nitrate and phosphates. Don’t need those getting out of hand. Maybe I should get some kind of phosphate remover just in case or maybe not .

As much as I wish I could grow marine meeses. I’m pretty sure it’s the smaller common feather dusters reproducing. Watched one essentially push a gelatinous blob from its tube where the feathers come out.Maybe it’s a marine mouse
Tighter shot

Ever order something….then forgot…..then a heavy box shows up and your like “what the heck did I order from *squints at label* fish tanks direct?”
Opened it and I have a thing of the macro-e mortar.
Then I remembered I needed to use my points so that’s what I got
