May update...

Kalk over dose... I don't know why but couple of weeks back I decided to clean out my kalk reactor. While I was doing that I had some hair algae that I had remove from the frag tank along with a couple of gallons of water. So, not realizing how much the water has gone down and how much more efficient the reactor was operating at I plugged every thing back in and went to bed. I am not sure if its only me that work on the tank late into the night or its pretty common amounts us hobbyist, a simple water change at 7pm always turns into 12:30 or 2 am. When I woke up that's when I noticed the tank was cloudy and ph has shot up to 9.2 - 4 ish. Fak! Obviously I was late for work and had to go but when I came home the cloudiness has gone away but the ph was staying around 9 ish. Long story short, I was naive enough to think the high volume of the tank can withstand the kalk overdose, for the most part it did but I did managed to burnt the tip of a few colonies and killed a couple. I eventually did a few water changes but it was too long too late. oh well life goes on. the joy of this hobby. Here are a few pictures I took with my Iphone yesterday.







Everything is coming back again... gotta couple of new pieces
