Algae growth is increasing and I'm debating adding making adjustments to my two skimmers. I'm always fighting phosphates lately and it's definitely from my dry food. I've been dialling back where I can; feeding less overall, but more frequently. However that can only take me so far. I really wanted to invest in another LED fixture, but water quality is more important.

Glass cleaning frequency is down from every 5 days to every 3.5 days. It's the most labour intensive part of all my reef keeping activities. So while very minor in the grand scheme of all things, it's noticeable and has been a great indicator.

Rare shot from the opposite end. Today we had a flood. Our drain backed up from roots in the clay pipe. This also happened a number of years ago. Thankfully we were home and mostly prepared. We have a wet vac and buckets to collect the water. Most everything in one half of the basement is in rubbermaids, or elevated. My store of extra drywall, my freezer, a wall and a carpet cleaner are write offs. Same goes for a brand new mattress set I was storing. Boo.

Thankfully, no damage to the tank. The stand the QT system and refugium use was submerged for awhile. It is kiltz painted, but I suspect it will have to be replaced. Tank stand was also submerged, but it's fully enclosed and sealed, also, steel.

I'll need to replace the panels on my display side now due to water damage.

I feel your pain. Who's picking on the brain coral? And..that end shot! The tank goes on forever!

Emperor. His current nick name is sneaky DB. He will pull off anything on top of the container to get access to the rainbow.

He is on the cusp of being voted off the island.
