All fish and corals doing well. Increased LED lighting by 1h last night.

Finally happy with some of the more aggressive coral placement. Fish and inverts all look well today.

Concerned about the pH swing happening during a 24 hour cycle. Although very consistent, I would like to make an effort to decrease the range.

Tank doing well with the addition of new fish and corals yesterday. Still working on proper placement of anchor corals with frogspawn. Also introduced the first SPS coral (minus montipora).

First potassium test completed today with new Elos kit. Results are in and the measurement is almost double where it should be. Will stop dosing ZeoVit K-Balance as part of my daily routine until levels adjust.

Completed filter maintenance tonight with intent to start on the ZeoVit program. Realized that I 'forgot' to open the lines on the filter after the last maintenance check (December 30th). Amazed at myself for not realizing this sooner and equally amazed that the tank has been running solely off the skimmer for almost 2 weeks.

On the right track! Tank is looking pretty fine today! Water is crystal clear, corals and clam open and happy. Fish active and colourful.

Corals and clam looking much better today! Not perfect, but definitely heading in the right direction. Have concluded that phosphates and a build up of detritus on the sand bed are to blame. Will keep a close eye on the system and do another possible water change in two days.

Thank goodness for the good results!

Have made some fine tuning adjustments to skimmer; hopefully removing more detritus and phosphate from the water column. Intend to do a big water change today and will siphon out some sand from the back of the tank as well to see if this helps. Corals still looking weak.

Having a really hard time with my tank right now. Corals and clam are really looking poor over the course of the last 2 days. Hoping that this is a result of changing lighting from T5 to LED and will improve with time. Testing is all within parameters and nothing is overly out of whack.

Fingers crossed!!!
