fed LPS granulates for the first time. Mainly to the Acan but also Duncan. Two for right Euphyllia and 1 to left Euphyllia. Want to observe how they react and see if I continue.
both assessors were out for feeding. Saw pistol shrimp beneath briareum stone.

attached Acan to stone with new epoxy. Seems to hold well. Hopefully not to close to Euphyllia.

I need to crank up maintenance again. Filter floss more often and also clean filter box, it looks disgusting!
Added some additional sand to give the nassarius some more digging space and removed one of the stones (some nasty very dark cyanos? grew on it).

Temperatures go rather high! Need to leave top off a little to see if this helps to keep it cooler. Should not get so warm as it stands in the cellar.
saw the second assessor shooting out of his hiding place to get some shrimp during feeding.
checked tests with old and new reference
salinity: both showed 35 ppt (no new calibration needed)
ALK Hanna: old 132 (7.392), new 128 (7.168), should be 7.0 and 7.5 respectively
phosphorous Hanna: 200 (blinking) should be 326 (not practical to test)
Nitrate Salifert: old 10, new 5, should be 11 and 10 respectively
calcium API: 400, should be 415
API calcium seems to show to little (only slightly, need to absolutely not let it rise any further in the tank)
Overall, the standard seems to be good for at least 6 months.
