Hey Frankie knows what I had to go through to get that to his house a freakn quest with the rainstorm and rush hour traffic it was a complete nitemare but after about 2 hours of driving maybe more I finally made it to his pad and boy I was glad to get there. After checkin out the pieces its like nothing but eyes everywhere these gems have more eyes than bodies :bigsmile: idk if that's a good thing or bad. But, all is healthy and thriveing even Frank's jawbreaker is starting to color up nicely :wink:

I appreciate you going through all that trouble to get here. And thanks for grabbing some frags from me so I could make some room. Friday afternoon is traffic hell but luckily going into the city wasn't too bad. Made it to Queens later but still had a great time. Don't forget to let me know how the saw works. I know Bill is thinking of buying one too. I'm going to use it to cut some of the frag mountains down. There's got to be a way to keep them weighted and still flatten them out. I'll figure something out. Thanks again.

salinity 1027-1028
temps 81-82
ph 7.9
alk 8
magnesium 1325
calcium 450

Ok, so the numbers fell a bit this week. Several factors went into this. I closed the window during a storm (hence ph fell to 7.9). I did a thorough tank cleaning and 20 percent water change yesterday (levels took a small dip). I also scaled back a little on my dosing last week. Nothing drastic but water changes do change the numbers a bit. Everything is doing fine. Even though I'm getting great growth of eyes on the frags, the body mass of the frags are going their usual slow rate. Some slower then others ): Jai took like 10 frags and brought them over to his tank so the bioload has lessened a little (freebie zoas and palys, freebie acans and others not in the growout). 2 nice new pieces were added this week, plus a couple of others that Dan has in his tank and will officially add when he gets the chance (he'll be doing written and photo updates on those). I'll do a detailed picture update in a week or two with growth rates and current eye counts. That's it for now. Happy Fathers day Jai and Bill and a good weekend to Dan. Later, Frank.

Hey guys, I was just checking on the frags and saw that the Setting Sun piece we got from Dnov actually has 2 eyes! Thanks again Darren. I can't believe I missed that, lol. It was sitting in the shade when it came in and didn't notice it until I tried feeding last night.

 

[Salty Dog]

a bonus eye, very ice indeed
