Tank is looking great Mike ! !
Thanks! It’s odd. It’s as clean And as healthy as it’s ever been. Nitrates are fine at 10. But phosphates are still climbing even though I have been using rowaphos for about 10 days now. Phosphates measured .23 today. I don’t feel like it’s a big deal, but I would rather have them.08-.12 range. What do you think?

So to all the great people here that follow my thread, I need to let you know something. For the last 4-6 months I haven’t been very social here, especially visiting your threads. Major changes have been going on at my job and last Monday I was let go after 25 years. So for the these past 2 weeks I’ve begun the job search. I’ve kept up in the tank, but haven’t really kept up with all of you. My focus is finding a job right now, but I hope to soon be feeling better about things and spend more time here with all of you and other that maybe I can help.

I was there 5 years ago, Mike. It will be different, but I promise it gets better. LOL, I threw up after I was laid off. Not on those folks, but right after.

I’m sorry Mike, I know how that is too. I’ll be praying for a successful job search. I’m sure something better and different will be there for you.

That's rotten, especially after 25 years. I have been seeking a new career since being laid off last October.

Best wishes in the job search going forward. Could always open an LFS ;)

Finally caught Dyson building his burrow and dive in for the night. He dives in around the 7:20 mark.
They are so much fun to watch. Love the name too. Dyson.

This past week I’ve seen great improvement in the Magnifica anemone. It’s back to approximately 7”, proper color and starting to inflate on and off. I’m very hopeful compared to 3-4 months ago. @Eagle_Steve what do you think?

Looks much better. They take time to recover for sure. It should start getting more color back as well as it gets better.
