Both Clowns are getting together great! :)
Dosed Calcification, it is now on the lower range of acceptable now. Going to move around rocks and flow to improve soft coral health.

Stopped at World of Fish in Richmond, Aqualand, and Saltwater Empire again. Found a great 2 part dosing system from BRS. Was recommended to bring alk to 9-10 and hold it steady there. Will dose when I get home to get where I need to be.
The tissue deterioration has been more noticable on the finger leather. I'm keeping an eye. I've been recommended to keep an eye for another week before doing a dip or taking other actions. It is opening up now however. Added a new clown, and it isn't getting along. I'm going to return and see if I can get a bubble tip instead, and look around for a smaller clown.
Two corals were great today. The finger leather which has a white/brown spot closed for half the day. I'm keeping an eye on it over the next few days/week before I decide to dip it. The Chromis finally ate pellets! I dosed Marine Buffer - It brought pH to my target, however it lowered the calcium and raised the alkalinity by a lot. I used Calcification to help bring back calcium to target levels.
All three corals look beautiful today. They all came on with the light. The diatoms are slowing dissappearing now. I turned the circ pumps a little to help stop it from kicking up the sand in the one corner.
Scrubbed out the Skimmer Cup, and moved the Toadstool to another location. It looks like it will come out again today! It must've needed more flow.
Today I noticed that the finger leather has a white/brown spots. I can't tell if its algae, or a disease. I will keep an eye out.
Finger Leather Coral has a weird white/brown flakey patch on the side. I'm observing it to make sure it does not progress.
I moved Devils Hand to a more central part of the tank with more flow to hopefully help it shed less often. Its shed twice in the last three weeks.
