So I got home maybe 20 minutes ago. No crash on either tanks, (whew!) the corals actually all look bigger. But I am out of food so I think the sitter fed twice as much as instructed. :D
Which led to a huge algae outbreak. I mean it's insane. I'm actually kind of in awe of the algae it grew so fast. Not that the tank was perfect before, but I thought I was almost done battling the algae as it only was in two smaller then a dime spots, now it's half the tank, and long let me tell you.
Anyhoo. Have been waiting to get my foxface until after this trip, gonna get one ASAP now.
Just wanted to post a vacation story that didn't involve a tank crash.
Still crazy algae. Did the tests and the nitrate is 0, the CA is 500 (guess there was an overdose), phosphate is at 0. Taking a break before alk and mag. Sg stayed consistent at 1.027 though. So not so bad.
Back to work for me. Acclimating the corals I got on vacation. :D
