My male anthias is a PITA.
 Constantly chasing my midas blenny into his hole when comes feeding time. Annoying but funny to watch the blenny bite the anthias when he turns to swim away.

Todays tests

NO2 - 0 PO4 - 0 Kh - 100 (dose builder) Ca - 360 Calcium is noticeably dropping now that I am regularly dosing Builder. I am going to need to get more regular in the calcium/Kh dosing schedule.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

NEW CORAL!!!!
Ah... here is my new baby...
It is a blue and red brain coral... but type I am uncertain of. Anyone able to give a positive ID? The colors are amazing! I bought it at Aquarium Illusions yesterday. Could not resist. I love it! Also... on another note... both the male and female Maldives Lyretail Anthias are taking NLS pellets. The pellets are in an auto feeder and give 2 extra feedings a day on top of the frozen dinner they get. They are looking very healthy and well!

That's awesome Patrick! I'm glad you took that home. Nathan and I had been eyeing that one up for quite some time now.

Test Results
Current tank parameters:
SG - 1.025 PH - 7.9 (lights off) Kh - 80* Ca - 660* Mg - 1320 NO3 - 0 NO2 - 0 PO4 - 0 * - Calcium and Kh out of balance. Dosing/Absorption rate not figured out yet. Does anyone have Ca/Kh product recommendations? I have been using SeaChem's Builder and Calcium Advantage and would definitely be open to trying a better product (if there is one that actually makes a difference). Thanks.

Currents Parameters
I tested with 2 separate kits. My regular Hagen and API.
API... Ca - 540 Kh - 179 - 1st test Kh - 161 - 3rd test Hagen... Ca - 540 Kh - 120 - 2nd test Kh - 160 - 4th test (1st new bottle) Kh - 160 - 5th test (2nd new bottle) Mg - 1440 SG - 1.025 As you can see the first Hagen test was off. The bottle was low and I guess they become unreliable. I had two spare bottles so I tested with both as well as an extra test against the API. As you can see.... fairly consistent. The first Hagen bottle... garbage. My tank is finally nice and balanced. Ca is high as is Mg, but its not the end of the world. At least its not low still! BONSAI!!!!
