Everything looked good this morning. No side effects from running the reactor last night. I figured there might be some bad stuff still coming out but it looks as if the tank is handling it well.

Forgot to mention yesterday that the kenya trees have began to do that little thing they do, the whole melting down into nothing for some reason, yesterday I had two trees that were withering. Will see how they look when I get home.

Changed 25 Gallons of water
  7.1%
RO unit seems to be going a little whacko. Its reading the same going in and the same going out.

Its late but I will have to look at this a little more tomorrow.

Also, the Calcium Reactor is back up and running through its cycle. It was getting nasty but I turned it on, basically did a 25 gallon water change through it and everything smelled fine, I expect in a day or two it will be clean again and ready to hook the bottle up to it and start dialing it in.
Measured pH at 8.62 pH

Not really sure whats up here

Dosed 105 ml of Vinegar
So, I added in the frags of GSP that I had been holding in the frag tank for a while. I also put in some purple xenia that I swore I wouldnt, ohh well. There was a thick yellow finger leather frag I have been holding I added too. I am ready to get these zoas in the tank and not have to worry that they wont make it due to astrania stars. I might just go ahead and mount them and place them in the tank anyway just to see. If I notice them on them I can always pull them back out.

Calcium Reactor started leaking a while back during its break in cycle, Angela put about 3 more coats of silicone on it last night. I hope it holds this time and I can get it set up over the weekend.

Its been a few days now. Keeping with everything, its all still looking good.

Added a Green Rasta, he is open and doing good. Needed more color. Next on the list is a Yellow Figi Leather.

Also added a Greenish Toadstool to the bunch, whim purchase, he wasnt open but I gave him a shot... He is doing good too.

Xenia in the sump is coming around. It took it a while to get used to the lighting I guess but now, every time I look at it after dark its open wide and pulsing, cant wait to see it grow and cover everything.

The Cheato doesnt grow as fast as it did back when this tank was at its peak before. Dont really know why but, I have pruned it and kept it fluffed and have pretty much gotten all the red algae out of it. Its looking good.

Other than that everything is still kicking. I will run test either tonight or tomorrow night. I think its safe to say I can cut it back to one day a week now.
