Non furry wet pet showed up after pulling a disappearing act when put in tank. My Lubbock now hanging out on the right half of the tank. Leopard after its initial attacks showing no interest now.

Looking into ordering from Reef Beauties as well. How are things going? I'm also in Massachusetts.
Who are you asking? Steve? I'm in AZ and never ordered from them...

I'm looking into ordering from Reef Beauties, how did it go?
Quick and well packed. Nice healthy fish. I’d definitely order again.

Alk is now 8.9
Phosphates are 0.07. want them slightly higher but that is up from 0.04 yesterday.

Magnesium... I hope I didn't overdo it yesterday. I doubt I did. I'll test later but I shouldn't have gone up a ton... Maybe up 50ish. We'll see.

I think I went up fairly quickly on the Alk from 7.6 yesterday morning to 8.9 tonight. I thought I was conservative on the calculations of water volume but apparently overestimated by about 10 gallons. That's over 3 spaced out doses though and nothing looks affected.
