The Green Metallic Rock Nem had pulled itself under a rock today. It was soo tiny when I left for work this morning. I will have to see if it opens this evening.

Might need to manually move it over to the lower flow area with the other Nem if it doesn't open in a day or so.

ALK continues to climb even after backing off the dosing schedule. Changed dosing schedule for ALK on the DOS today. Took it from 30ml daily to 25ml. I am going have to continue to monitor every two days or so and play with numbers until the climbing stops and levels stay at an even 9dkh.

Accidentally turned on the DOS last night and Alk dosed an extra 46ml! I had a .1 PH spike and will need to check on the corals later today.

I have turned the DOS off and will leave it off schedule for two days, then measure and consider turning on the schedule again.

Changing dosing to 30 ml per day to try and level out alkalinity level.

The rest of the corals will be moving in the next few days. I need to stay on top of my testing and dosing.

I am about to start dosing mag to try and bring the levels up. First water change is incoming as well. I will begin looking for a cheap source for Kent salt after my next paycheck.

One last note, I have a large shipment of corals coming Wednesday. I am going to have to scramble to prepare the tank.

Continuing to move my corals over to the 180. Lost a rescue piece of digi to algae and my own clumsiness. Cleaned off algae growing on the small rescue piece and the rescue monti. I doubt any of them will make it, but it was worth a try.

Alk and Calc still seem to be swinging and probably will continue to do so until all corals are moved.

Working on getting Calcium down to 420, and Alkalinity up to 9.

Turned off all calcium dosing on DOS this morning. Continuing 40ml per day alk dosing.
