Flame Angel and Lubbock Fairy Wrasse moved to the display last night from qt. Blue eye tang was not happy and chased the angel pretty hard through all the rockwork and beat himself up. Put a mirror on the tank and he turned his anger on himself. Was able to remove the mirror this afternoon and everyone seems fine now.
Started dosing nitrate @ 4mL a day to get them off 0 on 10/01/24, since then everything has exploded with growth. Red and purple coralline went crazy over the rock, ulva sea lettuce exploded in the refugium, mushrooms and zoas are making babies.
Added a Tunze powerhead for more flow, dont think the gyre is doing what I want and it has become very loud and annoying, will replace it with another couple Tunze powerheads when it annoys me enough or I get sick of cleaning it.
Sand bed is still a hot mess of algae but it doesnt bother me, will let it form a mat and just pull it out. Must have been something strange with this sand, kind of wish I had gone without but had planned on wrasse and a goby that would use it but the plan changed.
