Tested Nitrates 4 times on two different test. One I got two different answers on but one I got two of the same so I am going to go with the one that actually shows my Nitrates dropped since starting Vinegar. Which is odd because I have only been dosing for a week and a half.

Either way, I havent seen any negative impacts so I upped the dose tonight to double what it was. I set it to start when the lights come on and repeat 12 minute cycles 8 times for a total of 105ml or .3ml a gallon. Up from .15ml a gallon. We will see how this goes.

Kenya Tree still looks rough, not sure the issue with him but at this point I am just keeping an eye out.

Birdsnest is looking good, it is about time to bring him off the sand bed and work him up ward to his new home.

Kenya tree is going through some sort of funk, in four days it went from being a healthy colony to this.....

In other news the Vinegar dosing doesn't seem to be bothering anything, unless its the problem with the kenya tree, but I doubt it.... I am going to raise the levels up tonight a little and see what that does, run a full battery of calcs and see where we stand.

Meanwhile we added some new corals to the tank yesterday. Sour Apple Birdsnest, couple mushrooms, a chalice and some pallys.
