Wayne's 105g 'Rainforest of the Sea'

[wmcinnes]

Well strangely enough my male Rhomboid Wrasse has gone AWOL .. not really sure what happened to him but it isnt looking good at this point. Obviously, his girlfriend annoyed him to death.. Poor guy!

Everything else has been going pretty good, I have been keeping up with weekly 15 gallon waterchanges thanks to one of those handy 'hook up to your sink' syphons. NO MORE BUCKETS!
Although I was having a little trouble with Alk swings for a bit there and have come to the realization that 15 gallon waterchanges w/ H2Ocean salt does not keep my Alk above 8 for a week.. Lost a mini-colony and a couple frags.. Thus I set up my Marine Magic doser to keep things in check. Alk is now steady at 8.5 dKH where before, it would drop as low as 6 dKH in a week. Might try out the Fluval salt here soon.

Parameters as of today:
Temp: 79.2F (APEX)
Salinity: 1.025 (Refrac)
Calcium: 410ppm (Sailfert)
Alk: 8.5 dKH (ELOS)
Mag: 1310ppm (Sailfert)
NO3: ~2ppm
PO4: 0.00 (Hanna)

Every second water change I have been dosing Prodibio BioDigest (1vial) and BioPtim (3vials). I have not yet dosed ReefBooster but am planning to do so next week.
I am also starting to dabble into using a couple Zeovit products; Coral Vitalizer, Pohl's Xtra, and Amino Acid Concentrate, so we will see how that goes!

Yeah I looked friggen everywhere!

Go very slow with CV and AA" like one drop every 3 days. Its highly concentrated.

His tank is over 100 gallon 1 drop will not do much

Also it depends on how much sps corals he has. Full tank size colonies will just eat through that the foods. But yes go slow at the begining since wayne does not have much corals atm.

Sorry to hear about your wrasse :-(

He's either already been cleaned up by your clean up crew or shriveled up behind the sump or under something. They can flop an amazing distance.

I've looked all over around the tank and its nowhere to be seen so I'm assuming it surcumbed to something and the cleanup crew had a midnight feast.

D: but he was so nice, how much for the pair?
