In other words, if you do not bake it well, that is not the reason your alk is down.

yeah I figured it out a little while ago. It was the mixing up of the bottles. I emptied my mix out of each and rinsed the bottles well, then made up a new batch of 2 part. When I mixed them up incorrectly, I remember thinking "how come everything's not dissolving as nicely as last time?" lol. It was precipitating in the bottle

just moved all the rock from the gyre tank into the display tank. It's beginning to look full.

Bought a hydnopora colony today that's about 7" across. Waiting for it's polyps to come out.

I remember it had green polyps at gold's a while ago, and now they're brown when I bought it today. I think it's cuz they were kept under 20k 150W lights. I think the colour will come back under my T5 lighting.

I still think they look good even if they're brown
