Nitrates are really high. Brewing water now, I'll be doing 50% water changes the next few days to get it down. They tested at roughly 80. My leather coral has shriveled up. I know it's an indicator coral, so it's probably pretty upset right now.

Everything else is growing like crazy. Frankyrivera's frags have taken off. The Kenya/BlueSolomon tree frag that wasn't doing well has fully grown and is taking off in all directions. The number of mushrooms on my rock has doubled. The candy cane coral has sprouted new heads and is growing.

My acans are showing new heads, my frogspawns are all showing BIG new head extensions as well as new polyp growth around the stoney base, which means it's going to start becoming a nice sized mother colony! My hairy mushrooms are going to have to be fragged soon, as they're almost 3 inches in diameter.

The green wolf eel was brought to Puppy Center for store credit because I couldn't have him killing frags by knocking them into the sandbed anymore. So now it's just a clown pair and a Snowflake moray.

My HOB fuge is in place and ready for water. Until I can get a good sand bed I'm not going to put it online. My chaeto is being kept in an in-tank mini fuge / arcylic box. It's growing in there so I know once it gets that 'sweet spot' for low flow it'll grow in the CPR HOB fuge. I have to order a bulb for my fixture though so I'll do that on amazon with a gift card I have.

I wish I had a nice camera so I could take macro pictures.
