The bottom one is all over the place! Are they all in different pars?

Probably, they are all in different tanks.

this one is in my display tank and should be under the most par 400 or so, i haven't checked in a long time. the other two are probably 300 or less.

Anything over.18 po4 we don't like

@SBB Corals What do you find happens over .18 po4? Loss of color, growth and PE?

I just got back from 2-week vacation. Did you guys already get your corals from this sale?

Well I think I’ve seen about everything now as far as clownfish hosting attempts. While working on the nano, looked over and saw one of them make an attempt to use a Bower.

Everything survived and no equipment failure, so that’s a win!

I was already struggling with high PO4 before I left and knew it would be worse when I got back. It was 0.24 when I left and reached an all time high of 0.33 while I was gone. I feel like some of my Tenuis lost some color and a couple Tenuis lost a little bit of PE. All of the non-Tenuis look good and I can see significant growth on my Rainbow Splice.

It’s been 4-weeks since a water change so I’m going to do one tomorrow.

I left my alk alone before I left because I was already seeing a downtick in consumption because the high PO4 and NO3 was killing off coraline on the rocks. And I have some asterinas eating coraline on the back wall too. My Alk went from 8.5 to 8.9 during the 2-weeks I was gone. I think because of high PO4.

I have no clue what my PH did with nobody in the house, all the windows were closed and the AC was running VS the usual of having people and big dog in the house with a window open for the tank and AC still running.

It’s time to for me to start monitoring PH. First thing this morning I purchased the necessary Apex module, probe and calibration solution.

I’m planning to keep one of the three ATO’s I used while on vacation to dose kalkwasser, once I get the PH monitoring setup. I hear that kalkwasser also helps lower PO4 in addition to raising PH and being less expensive than 2-part.

A colored down back corner Space Monkey I got during the May sale. The first picture was taken on May 31 and the second picture is from today. Got a new light to try out and see how they and the other sps start to color up.

Was sold as green, but supposedly the genetic info for other colors are there. Be curious to see what happens.

I knownit takes a while sometimes but the contrasting colors are cool

I have the same, and I think it is developing other colors. Definitely feel like it is my imagination sometimes, but I took lots of photos so you can see the difference.
