I trust the dkh and p04 numbers most by hannah followed by nitrate from nyos. ran multiple tests with posted being lowest result. Titration still tough till I get my eye surgery it's a pita.

All in all neglect and dosing by looks on trace and past usage working ok

Had a reefers heat attack! Low water alarm on ATO even tho just put a 10 days worth in two days ago and a drip in basement under tank.
Salinity dropped to 1.022 from .025 not horrible and the "leak" appears tobe over flowing skimmer to close to sump edge.
Heart rate back to normal for now shop vac in use and salinity heading back to normal.
Heck of a way to wake up this morning. Was going to scrape glass and get pics but everything seems miffed at salinity change atm. See what tomorrow brings.

Holy toledo batman!! I hope everything pulls through!

Always something. When things are going good I worry most because it’s just the time to wonder what and when will it go wrong

That's why I just break something every few weeks, Saves the surprise ;Smuggrin

MFTS I thought was mandatory full tank shot. I am curious as to @JoshH thoughts on its meaning he's got a fine twisted mind like the rest of the Misfits :D FTS once corals perk back up friends. Gives me more time to scrape coraline lol

Do you REALLY want to know? ;Locktopic @Dolelo96 is the one with the twisted mind here
Really @JoshH? That's a cheap shot considering my mom's visiting, but don't worry, I forgive you. I know how disappointed you would be if I didn't send Barney your way. Just need to find a box to ship him in;Smug;Smuggrin

Thanks he is a looker and a good tank mate. I thought he might be a bully but little FFF chase him away at feeding little filter has some attitude

I only ever did well with two wrasse for about three year, yellow corris and a splendid leopard, yellow turned nasty so they were re homed together as they had grown up together from babies, I have never had long term success with wrasse since, very annoying.
