I'll walk you through the dosing stuff when you're ready
And, ya, there's some birdsnest floating around somewhere

Why is there a sponge floating sideways across the skimmer chamber of the sump?

Trade you some frags if you help me? :) LOL!

Thanks Dude. If you really want some help, I'd be more than happy.

2 reasons. (1) To stop splashing from my POS skimmer that I can't seem to get tuned in and (2), seeding it for my QT.

Had the Yellow Tail for a couple days and the little dude wasn't feeding at all. He mouthed a few Mysis but I didn't see him eating it.
Saw him this morning when I left for work, but when I came home he was nowhere to be found. Searched everywhere and only came up with two ideas.
1) He's hiding somewhere in the pukani or 2) he went for a carpet surf and got eaten by one of our two white hairy landsharks. Poor guy.

Parameters continue to improve:
no2 : 0.02 ppm
no3 : 10 ppm
I will check other params tomorrow.

Starting to get serious diatoms. If I remember correctly, this is normal and it will take care of itself over the next few weeks, yes?

Thanks for looking and replies/recommendations/suggestions welcome!
