Enjoy your time off looking forward to your updates this weekend..

I have one more piece of the puzzle to collect tomorrow, .... actually that is not true!
I want to add a nem but I need to get things dialed in first, softies to acros are doing well.
Short story long!

I withdrew my application for a job at my works last week, after getting my cv they came up with 13 bullet pointed questions they wanted to discuss with me, NOT an interview!
One of the "they" is the top chemist on site, I have since spoken with him, nice bloke, they need a graduate chemist to fill that roll, ... they need me to run it!
It is just a big chemistry set, if they tell me what needs to be done I can do it, background reports of each stage is past me.
I need to calibrate the doser this weekend, no biggie except I have no idea what a "splash" of liquid equates to in ml!

New 300 W titanium heater bought today, setting up 2 temp controllers with separate heaters.
Ato to be set up, smart ato.
Kamoer 3 channel doser to be calibrated and set up.
I am replacing the Eheim 2000 for a 3000 for the cube end flow.
Spray bar and M1 will be cleaned if I get 'round to it!

I have put a flow blocker rock in place since this pic, the back edge was getting a touch battered with flow once the pumps came back on, fingers crossed!

Anemone!

That is exactly what I called it when I explained it to the flame hawk, ... I think!

Actually was way off on nitrate as mentioned before. About to go test water again. For this was a month ago. Doing a change of water today

Your salinity is high, better around 025 - 026

I'm jealous... Mine has been deflated and blah for 3 months.

So basically it is just plonked in the middle of the tank!

Maybe UK anemone's are well mannered, but if this was in my tank it would b-line to whichever coral I liked the best. Or a powerhead....

Is that the blue sponge on the right side of the tank?

Yes that is the sponge, it's doing great.
Looks like 6 inch nail trick worked, this morning, early led only.

Excuse the pic, almost impossible to get pics of the whole thing without reflections, I love it!

I love fish that sit still (this might go in the potm, bit late in the day!), such a fun fish!

The cyphastria is settling better again today, I will probably give it another 24 hours before moving it a few inches into a touch more light!

Hopefully as it expands a bit more I will be able to show you the mouth and face!

The rock with the zoas is there as a flow blocker, the scopas has cleared the caulerpa, it is a nice piece of rock, I might glue 2 or 3 other zoas on it!

ssc is about 7 days in now, I won't start celebrating for at least a week yet!

Dis Waltney appears to be approaching kh hog mode, I will check it again tomorrow, it was 7.8 last weekend.

Beautiful cyphastria Simon and I love the blue sponge! I’m not brave enough for an anemone, like brew12 said it would sting everything in my tank and then get sucked into a power head ;Hilarious
