Everything in working order today, didnt test, just looked and observed. Cleaned the glass, sat back and just admired it for a day.

Ordered a new light for the fuge I forgot to write down. Its not much, aquatraders 36" 4 bulb fixture. I had one just like it that lasted for 4 years of continual use. I am going to rotate this one, maybe take a little better care of it, see if I cant get it to last longer.

Also ordered a new dual TDS meter. The one on my RO unit went out, too much water damage I am taking it from where it was located. It would get wet and dry out and be okay, well it didnt wake up from its slumber this time so.... New one it is.

Did a LOT more in depth testing with the Hanna Meter. Turns out, after a discussion on RC, I was doing things a little wrong....

Four test tonight .16,.23,.21,.19... So I averaged this at .2 I do have a problem and they are not going down as I thought so the Red Sea test however steady at .16 were most likely really reading correctly as well as they could.

I will have to continue to monitor this.

Tank looked great today, all the frags are looking great as well... Time will tell. I have two new critters coming in tomorrow, a yellow corris and a harliquin shrimp. Few red planaria and astrania stars.... I am not messed up on spelling tonight.... LOL

Tested phosphates on new Hanna Checker reagents three times, got three different results. (.13,.09,.05)..... Just averaged them and went with that number.

However, if the testing is holding correctly then the Vinegar dosing is paying off and dropping both Nitrates and Phosphates.

Kenya tree seems to be coming back around. Still no reason found that three or four larger stalks died but it almost looks now as if nothing was ever wrong. You can see the stubs tough from the ones that melted.

Overall, cleaned up and created/found more frags today. Cleaned the shells that clutter the sand bed, plucked corals that didn't make it and pruned the cheato ball. Basic little maintenace but needed.
